Model 3 went down 100 feet embankment and all four passengers survived

Happened in San Bernardino. Report says they were speeding, went down 100 feet, but they all survived.

Looks like the bottom front of the driver's door may have an "unplugged" performance sticker. Is it anyone on here?

3 occupants (besides driver) knew how to operate the doors while flying 100 ft down an embankment?

Hiked down there in the rain to check it out. Wow. First one looks down at the car from Grizzly Peak trail. Second looks up at the road. Rest are self explanatory. Also - note that someone must have explored the scene and found my backpack, and placed it on top of the car for me to find It had...

Model S saved my life

Electrek lifts post quotes frequently, as well as obtains general material and topics for their website from TMC. When I saw them do it to a gal last year, who'd represented a confidential email, only to become splattered across the web, I stopped visiting their site. Shame on her for being so...

Pretty amazing Teslas these guys were in. And everyone in these cars only had minor injuries.
