Shanahan is going 20, runs into somebody going 20. Other driver is perfectly ok, Shanahan breaks his nose on air bag, nearly loses his eye to visor. Debilitating concussion. Only 110k car.
Go into a room with no lights on; put on a blind fold. Start jogging (4 mph) and see how bad you feel when you hit the wall.

20 mph can cause plenty of damage if you're dicking around in the seat and not paying attention AND not seated properly which Shanahan admitted. The speed limit was 25.

Now, imagine if both vehicles are traveling at 20 mph, a head-on collision between two identical 3,300 lb sedans results in an average impact force of roughly 27,000 pounds of force which is a huge transfer of energy. Larger cars, more weight, more force.

This has nothing to do with it being a Tesla.

How many Teslas do you have? If you think certain vehicles don’t withstand a crash better than others no matter the circumstances, you are an idiot.

go fvvck yourself you insufferable piece of shlt. You are too fvvcking ignorant to unerstand how the laws of physics works.

Oh and he's so ate up because I have him on ignore, he has to log off to find my posts, copy them, log back on and then respond. How pathetic is that?

It's pretty clear there was an effort to distort or conceal the facts of this crash. I'm sure there would be proof of his speed at impact, but if you're not questioning whether he was going faster than reported you're hopelessly naive. Keep an eye on whether the other driver sues him, they will for sure find out his actual speed. Given his quick admission that he was at fault, I expect a large and fast settlement to keep her quiet.

Or, it was a simple fender bender and the other person was not injured. Maybe it will just be a routine insurance claim.

Sure, in California with a wealthy/famous person who has already admitted fault and said "the impact, I'll never forget it because of how violent it was." The whole "she said she was fine" defense has been played out countless times before, right about now she looks like this:

This didn’t age well. Went out of your way to **** on Tesla. Why? You mad at his association with Orange man bad?

Do the right thing and edit your post.
****** cars that only made profit because of California environmental laws that forced big car companies to pay EV companies when they didn't sell enough evs. EM then took these "profits" as proof that Tesla was a good company and made a killing in speculation. EM took the public investment and tanked the stock with shenanigans and poor sales. Company sits at 15% ev market share world-wide despite massive public investment, 2-3% domestic auto. Worthless.

Americans didn't want the EV (Prius Hybrid not withstanding) We literally had to pay people to buy em..which was a nice tax break for the folks wealthy enough who could afford em. Next to Covid, one of the biggest scams of our life. Now remind me who pushed this crap on us again? Nevermind, it came to me.

I heard he was on his phone and the other driver swerved into him. Not his fault. I wonder if he was in self-driving mode? That would explain (but not excuse) him not being in proper position during the collision.

He denies being on the phone. The phone was on his lap, it slipped off onto the floor. He reached for it, and in a split second slammed into the other car. He admitted it was his fault

Bud, you are clueless. I’m not a huge fan of EV’s, but they are getting better every day. Battery life has pretty well been solved. They will be the majority of vehicles on the road in 20 years.

I love EVs, Tesla is barely 10% of the global market. Tesla sucks. Tesla is like the Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys...we have to keep hearing about them but they are 2% of the cars on the road in America. Stock is 20x higher than other car companies despite other car companies actually making vehicles people want and can afford.

That's weird. Maybe it will come out that his car was in self-driving. Otherwise, driving with your phone on your lap is very weird (probably using it and sat it down?) and trying to grab it while driving? The cover up B.S. also bothers me. I'm sure nothing will come up it. Maybe some investigators will get Niners tickets....

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the reports, but it seems like this accident would have pretty much been a no-injury fender-bender if Shanahan hadn't been hunched over trying to retrieve his phone. That's apparently why he got so beat up by the airbag when it deployed.

Shanahan (who I'm no fan of, by the way) was negligent and he was in the wrong. But since he admits to all of that, I'm not sure there's much more to the story.

I’m not a Tesla guy in any way, shape or form. But airbags are designed to protect you when you are properly seated in the vehicle, not when you are pawing around on the floor trying to retrieve your phone. Doubt that the result is any different if he’s driving something else.
To be fair, lots of faulty airbags out there.. (tata) from prior years.. it is a mini explosion that goes off right in front of your face.. cool with seat belts.. airbags.. kind of a gamble if you ask me.

Asks the incel trolling a college football message board. Clearly not a working man or you’d be asleep at 130 in the AM. Do better.

I don't see Tesla as a car company, or at least that's not where there future value lies. Comparing Tesla with traditional auto makers is silly.

I am sure a lot of these guys granddads thought that quirky german chancellor with the funny moustache had a lot of good things to say, while their prez was a liberal, lezbo loving tyrant.

Is this the latest excuse you used after you tuned your wife up yet again?

Any woman that gets near you is the one taking the gamble..

Once you outed yourself here as a wife beater, that is what we know you as. Oh and a disgusting racist as well.
