Just saw two Tesla's in a crash... One new without plates!!!

Yes
Shed every part on the car but the passenger compartment please...........

Is it a bit concerning that the rear wheel came off? I mean who knows exactly how hard the impact was, but should rear wheels be popping off like that?

You have no information (and neither do I) as to the circumstances of that accident. To use a phrase like "popping off" is just foolish.

Well, the left rear wheel is clearly detached from the car. Would using terms like "fell off", "knocked off", "dislodged", or "broken off" make you feel better?

Don't worry, Keef is already reporting this to the NHTSA.

I thought the same thing.

a shame really, that's over 200k worth of car probably, and now both out of commission for a few weeks or months. shaking my head...

Totally agree.

We're in a rare juxtaposed period in history; blessed with so many advances countered by so little gratitude or empathy for those - whose risks, not taken, would never have borne this beauty.

"Broken off" would. "Popped off" makes it sound like it was held on with clips or something.

You may not be aware, but there's a notorious troll who pops up around these parts from time to time claiming that Tesla has a major safety problem with wheels falling off. He maintains an entire photo gallery full of pictures of post-crash Teslas where the wheels came off as support for this idea. I'm sure it was unintended, but you sounded just like him.

Ah, you beat me to it!

This Tesla on Tesla violence has to stop!

Tesla Lives Matter!

Time to march to the Gigafactory!

I drove past this last night. It looked pretty serious. Both cars were pretty jacked up. They have to be close to being totaled. But given the price maybe not.

With the concentration of Teslas in CA, it was bound to happen eventually (if it had not happened before without any TMC member noticing). Leaving aside the details we do not know, it really should be no more remarkable than if two Benzes or two Volvos or two of anything else happened to collide.
Then again, maybe it is a "magnetic attraction..." (tongue in cheek!).

My guess an accident like this would be less likely to happen if the two Teslas were S60...P90D and P90D paraphrasing the late Rick James these two together, "it's a hell of a drug."

I agree if these are other cars, but these are Tesla, so probably both totaled.

Guess here, White was driving, black one was parked on the side of the road. Sucks either way.

 

[Electric700]

driving down PCH in Redondo Beach and saw this, two tesla's appear to have sideswiped each other. A couple in one and two chicks in the other.

White car has front end damage and the black one, the rear wheel is busted off.

Bad night for these two fellow tesla drivers.

Sorry to see that this happened, and I hope that those involved are all right. I'm also surprised at what seems to be some uncaring comments in this thread, making a joke of the crash.

 

[Wuggado?]

Wait until the press get's ahold of this one. I can see the headline now

BAN ALL TESLAS

So we are saying the White Tesla viciously "popped off" (or "broke off") the Black Tesla for just being parked on the side of the road?
