    The cars on the carrier look ok.

    Hope that carrier isn't one that Tesla made themselves

    I’m surprised the headline didn’t say multiple Tesla cars caused traffic backup.

    It’s like that scene from Animal House where the movers drop that case of scotch and some bottles break, and Bluto screams like a girl.

    Definitely AP's fault. I heard at least 5 of the Tesla's involved didn't have the drivers hands on the wheel, AEB didn't kick in, there was no warnings, and the airbags didn't go off. #classaction

    I saw the report and didn't even notice the truck, of course it was the other picture. Man I don't know what I would do if my car was on the truck and saw this. I think arbitrageman is exactly right on this one. We just received our X and 3 last week.
