Model S Crash Performance

[SilverL]

My Model S did a phenomenal job in a recent crash. The crash structure dissipated the energy comprehensively, and according to the adjuster, likely saved my life.

That said, the airbag didn’t deploy, and trying to get Tesla to engage with me has been next to impossible.

Anyone know how I can get them to talk to me about the situation?

Thanks!

tree or phone pole?
impressive that even with the airbag failure you are here today sending pictures.
i imagine tesla has remotely collected the information on why the airbag did not deploy

I believe it was both; hydroplaned off the road trying to avoid something from the little I can remember of that night.

Glad that you're ok. It is impressive that you came out alright.
The message on the instrument screen indicated that air sudpension is not available. That's the last thing we care about

Wow, impressive damage difference between you and the car.
Airbags should not, but do fail sometimes, the most typical things to check, would be whatever it is actually connected, and if the ignitor works (whatever it can be ignited) ... Just connect 12v while away.

Did this happen because your hands were not on the wheel while you "Walked Like an Egyptian"?

Glad you're ok. That looks like a nasty hit.
