First test highlights how truck/trailer crash structures need a complete revamp. The fact that the tiny little crash beam on the truck folded away without even slowing the vehicle down, allowing it to submarine the trailer and impact at full speed at face level is unacceptable. For the last test, my partner was involved in almost that exact same collision, except it was by a drunk driver who fell asleep, pinned their foot on the accelerator and hit my partner’s Tesla model 3 on about the right 40% of the car doing 40-50mph over what my partner was doing. This caused a secondary collision with the cable median on the freeway. The damage was catastrophic, making the rear of the car unrecognizable, but all the crush damage stopped just behind the rear seat, protecting the occupants and the battery. My spouse had a sore neck for about 6 hours afterwards, that was it. Elon Musk is a joke of a human being and will keep me from buying another new Tesla until they dump him, but they build safe cars, that’s for damn sure.
The American and European manufacturers went through this a decade ago with the small overlap frontal impact test. I suspect that global cars will do far better in this test as it seems very similar.
On our normal ICE car, the Bluetooth mic is in the ceiling next to the rear view mirror. I can see that mic getting destroyed in this type of crash with the vehicle being decapitated like this 😟
Will you test Mazda cx60 and cx5? Alain (France)
“Called back later” not sent emergency crew?
这个版本没有预紧安全带，约束系统拉了
