Trailer pulled down power cable line and it hit my tesla vehicle causing damaged

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I was watching the trailer do a U-Turn. It completed the U-turn but began to pull the power line as it went forward. I didnt see this until I was close to the trailer. He kept going until he broke the power line and it hit my vehicle. The 13000 voltage cable hit my vehicle and a BMW behind me. The trailer kept going and pulled down the actual light pole/post.

Did it charge the car?

Is that A piller bent? I am surprised if so and there wasn't more damage to the side view mirror. I bet most of that will buff out okay, except the A piller of course.

Waiting for the headline: "Tesla damaged by charging infrastructure, gas truck saves the day by pulling off high voltage cable avoiding electrocution."
I was shocked that my car didnt suffer that much damage. the car behind wasnt as fortunate. His windows got knocked out and suffered burn damages on his BMW

That A pillar bend or twist can mean bad things for your car. Front and side glass seems intact so hopefully just mostly superficial.
