    True. My Dad (now a happy Model 3 owner) was hit many years ago by a guy who was not only running a red light (which he claimed was amber) but a witness said that not only was it RED, but also that they saw that driver holding and reading a clipboard while running the light.

    That accident looks like no one should have walked away. One of my reasons for buying a Tesla, "SAFETY". Thanks for the post.

    So happy you and your wife escaped unharmed!

    Thanks for the post and the AMAZING PHOTO.

    Both my wife and I were blown away by the damage to the car vs. the lack of damage to you!

    Glad no one was harmed. I always knew Tesla made safe cars, but seeing real world examples and stories from folks around the globe make it that much more convincing. The cars have such a heavy central frame yet also easy to crunch in front/back probably has helped save numerous lives.
