Model 3 Squished

[csilver77]

It wasn't my P3D but a friend posted this as he was part of the accident. I guess someone in a truck slammed into the back of the Model 3. I have only sketchy details but supposedly they were on a phone. Unknown as to what speed they were going but I will assume pretty fast as I know that part of the freeway well since I travel it everyday.

Good to see no fire from batteries.

Backseat area looks crushed which concerns me as I usually have 4 other family members in my vehicle.

Just thought I would post as I figured some folks may be interested to see a rear end collision. If I get more details I will follow up.

Ouch! Is your friend ok? Is that out on the 202?

It doesn't look crushed to me. It would be interesting to see a picture of it.
If this forum is any judge that must have been a 120mph impact!

Really sorry to see this happen to anyone.

Generally speaking, same thing would happen to ANY sedan rear-ended by a taller bumper (area) vehicle like a truck.
Sheet metal has lots of 'crush', little structure to resist the mass of an impact.
It appears the truck's bumper completely missed the Model 3's bumper/frame/pack combo.

I'd agree with this...maybe up to the back seats but not into the back seats....?

2 hour old thread and the vultures start to circle.

I wish my co-worker had better pics. It probably would have been weird sitting there taking a picture of someone else's car though.

Yes. On the 202 near the 202 i-10 transition.

I am wrong. Looks like it was 101/202 interchange by the chandler mall.

Either way, glad your friend is ok.

Ironically I did get some EAP Phantom braking just past that point 2 days ago.
