Not very reassuring that it split the X in half.

I would be curious to know how fast both cars were going...namely the GTR. That joint ended up halfway down the street.

Interesting: A witness on scene said the driver behind the wheel of the Nissan was speeding down Hallandale Beach Boulevard and rammed into the Tesla.

It wasn't really in half. It look more like the back 25% was separated. Would likely be bad for people in the third row.

 

[VikH]

Yep. Although the third row seats look relatively intact in the folded position. This is not the first time an X has split -

A Tesla Model X split in two and caught on fire after hitting a tree in New Hampshire (TSLA)

I would change the title of this thread to:
Model X gets t-boned by 100 mph Nissan GTR and doesn't catch fire.

Note to self. Check both ways before entering intersections.

And if intruder too close, switch to guns early,

Pretty impressive that the Model X driver was able to walk away from that.

 

[mwfriederichs]

On a positive note: "The driver behind the wheel of the Tesla was able to walk away from the crash with what seemed to be a minor injury to his leg."

 

[AndreyATC]

That's a bit concerning.
I have 4 kids, of which two seat in 3rd row

Hitting with such velocity/speed behind an ‘immovable object’ (the large battery) would explain where the X would sheer away (rear drive unit and all). Would still rather be in the X than a mini-van or small SUV with such a high speed impact any day of the week.

 

[dethman]

crazy. def kinda concerning given how little damage there was to the GTR compared to the X.

in other news...that reporter in the studio...

But the occupant was pretty much unhurt. Looks like the car did all it was supposed to do .. side air bags deployed, impact energy absorbed by body and doors.

I notice the GT-R had "BYE AMG" plates .. looks like that car will be saying goodbye to everyone now. The driver is lucky he's not in jail awaiting vehicular homicide charges.

Side impact vs frontal impact. Another good reason to never swerve to avoid an accident.

Best quote ever:

The driver of the Tesla was identified as Jose Diaz, who was seen making the sign of the cross moments after the crash.​

 

[Cosmacelf]

The driver is lucky he's not in jail awaiting vehicular homicide charges.

He may yet be.

The guy in GTR is a really big youtuber from here (Brazil), and he already did a lot of unwise content with this car, his name: Greg Ferreira, watch it!

His car was already without the personalization because he was sealing it, big loss.

What happens when your ego is several times larger than your brain. No doubt he has already figured out in his head how the Tesla was responsible for the accident.
