- For Jim Hartman, a career as a professional driving instructor meant he used to make his car buying decisions on the basis of attributes like performance, handling and design. See how his priorities shifted after a life-changing journey, and how he now only has eyes for the safest car on the road.
Seriously, America. Get more roundabouts. They're SO MUCH SAFER than four way traffic lights. SO, SO much safer.
+Will Davis The U.S does/did have roundabouts but many have been converted to intersections because people just don't know how to drive in a roundabout and because of that they have more accidents than a traditional intersection.
+Will Davis I drive through 7 traffic lights and 2 roundabouts every day coming home from work, and the roundabouts are significantly less safe, in my opinion. 99% of the time, the intersections flow smoothly. But I would say, at least 30% of the time there is a near-miss in the roundabout. People turning right from the left lane, or randomly changing lanes back and forth, or not yielding when entering.
We do have roundabouts and with American drivers who can barely understand a 4 way stop, roundabouts aren't any safer..
+StalePhish The roundabounts are scientifically proven to be better, faster and safer, but apparently in usa people are too stupid to use it hahahaha
+Supergecko8 In Canada we also need to live with the all way stops too! Stupid design!
Im sure that the Model 3 will be as safe as well, thats why Im getting one. Safety first
Airborn14 same M8👌👍
Yeah, 5 Stars in Euro NCAP
A reasuring story, told with fantastic pictures... Well done filmteam and thankyou Jim. Tesla owner and filmmaker in Norway.
Fuck off du reinsdyr shagger
Of the four videos Tesla just released i think this one is by the far the best! Then it would be the Electric Mail, Then Future Driven and last would be the Generations video…….but cmon ….. they all receive at 10/10 …. except this one this gets a 100/1
5/7
+hcolman 9gag?
Steven Ewald GFX nah imgur,
Fock ooff with 9gag
+Noah Revo what will happen if an electric flood water through the roof?
Passengers will kill it? The vehicle will run if it is dry then?
Anyone notice they changed their channel name to Tesla (from Tesla Motors)
Yes because they are more than cars , once their home batteries start selling :)
+Tay nology And because they now own tesla.com
+Victor Vazquez They waited like ten years to get that domain name hahaha.
I've got TERDSLA.COM I wonder how much they'll offer for it?
+Keef Wivaneff nothing because it's stupid?
i can't see why people see these car as not safe. They are the safest build and have the onboard tech to back you up if required.
+Cpt Rob Probably because they know nothing about them and then read about accidents and shallow criticism of it? And/or because said people follow or run into people who like to trash Tesla / EVs / new car companies, and then naively believe what they say is worth noting.
+rhoyt15 +muskar true true. they should be embracing this. i want the world to see this through it will be a world changer. for the better i sure
+Cpt Rob People are just afraid of change. I hate those kind of people, they hold us back as a species.
+erikpoephoofd I'm afraid of runaway 3 wheeler Terdslas driven by Otto the Psycho-pilot.
+Cpt Rob even if the wheels fall off?

these videos are killing me I wish I could afford one
Yep, it's gonna be a while before I can get one of these.
+jacob blech
No worries, Model 3 is planning to come out at around 35k USD worldwide.
Based on how Tesla rolled out their Models S & X, even though Elon said release of the Model 3 would be in late 2017, I think people would only begin to really receive their cars in late 2018.
So you've got at least 2.5 years to save up! And it's not as if the Model 3 would be extinct by 2025, so why not!
+jacob blech If the Videos don't kill you the TERDSLA will.

That is a set of replacement ball joints for the Model S. Apparently some of them have been failing and causing the wheels to go whompy.

+Keef Wivaneff I see Ralph Vader is still whomping along spreading bullshit about Tesla.
Oops, I meant "Keef".
Wait, "some of them"?? What happened to your claims that ALL will go "whompy" sooner than later and there will be lots of dead people in Teslas??
Are you shorting the stock too, Ralphy boy? I'd be reeaaalll careful with that if I were you.
Did you hear about the DEFECTIVE BRAKES?
A: The total brake failure
« Reply # 167 on: Yesterday at. 9:55 p.m. "
This explains well Tesla'en who came rushing over Røakrysset on red earlier here in the winter, to reasonably big stir among all other cars and pedestrians. Based on what's in this (and other) threads here seems Tesla owners to be extremely patient with their brand and their cars, something I se understand well it is amazing cars. In my opinion one can forgive a lot of other strange but slows there is absolutely no unnskydning for: they must work 100% reliable anyway. Imagine if it was yourself or your own youth who was mowed down by a bremseløs Tesla because Tesla was too dull or arrogant to clean up. It is of course totally inexcusable. I've even run quite a few different cars with solid brake equipment (much M models) and I've never been close to notice any reduction in braking performance regardless of weather conditions. So whatever this really caused it is not difficult to straighten up and do it properly. In this country forgive we the just about anything, but that day someone gets hit in the US due. erring brakes and the investigation shows that Tesla have known brake problem while without making something so come Tesla to be sued for such large amounts that it definitely is hosted on the door.
my dad was circle track and straight track racer in his 20's he has a whole wall full of trophies.
he use to lie and tell his mom he was going to church.
these older guys sure had fun in there youth
+Moonsabie you should have spent your youth learning to spell.
If I was stupid enough to drive around in a Terdsla then that would probably happen.

The description of this accident is not accurate. This is an advert for a car! If the front end of the car that jumped the red light hit the door of the driver *still image at 1:45) instead of the wheel arch and the left front end of his Tesla car, he would have no hip left...very misleading
+La Mon1 SPIN! The front wheel has fallen off. Safest car in the world my arse.
The front wheel fell off because it was head first. Still, if you were in that situation with your $2 toy car that you seriously think you can drive with, you would (thankfully) be dead.
Look at the jeep in the background...
Look at the Tesla...
AMAZING
what happens if two tesla cars collide?
+Akaki “akayoda” Yohada a black hole is created. lol
+Akaki ‘akayoda’ Yohada jesus arises
I like to think all my vehicles are safe for things like this. Until you actually have an accident...you really don't know. Looking forward to the day I can buy a Tesla...Model III or S...hoping for an S to tell you the truth.
Can your car automatically stop with non-human reflex preventing injury ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Absolutely fantastic!
Did anyone notice this guy is wearing an A. Lange & Sohn watch? It's a watch as awesome and expensive as a Tesla!
This brought the good chills down my spine!
Tesla Safety Concern
Dear Tesla Staff,
I wanted to raise a safety concern.
1. If there is a power failure of the vehicle
2. The owner is standing outside the vehicle in the rain and elements
3. There is no way at all to get inside the vehicle, that does not involve electronics or wireless.
4. The owner is at massive risk, and is forced to remain outside the vehicle in the rain and elements for a potentially unlimited amount of time
Thank you very much for your consideration
Amazing Technology, Deployed Worldwide Through My Deep Learning AI Research Library. Thank You

"Kramer, I can't send it back broken like this"
"Sure you can Jerry, they'll just write it off"
"Write it off? What does that mean? Do you even know what a write off is?"
+deathpony698 Dismiss it
RockYou1990 thanks, Ill go write a letter Jerry Seinfeld and tell him
Welcome, But they do.. and they are the ones writting it off
Wow, great video!
safety means TESLA💯💯
Tesla please please announce your India plans! We couldn't decide whether to book model 3 or not! :/
Yeah what a serious impact
What, you wanted it to hit you?
Woah, July 15th, that's my bday, what a coincident.
i want one
Tesla is the boss of future car's.
When I learnt to drive in 1979, my instructor said never leave your eyes out of the road ahead. Since then, I drove all kind of cars and motorcycles. Fortunately, I've never been involved in a accident and I drove millions of miles in any kind of cars from a 204 Peugeot, Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman, Ford XL Convertible, Fiat Punto, Subaru Forester, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche Carrera and... Tesla to name a few. I have been a professional chauffeur for famous people. Sometimes I had to drive fast for being on time for a rendez vous or catching a plane at the airport. Now is the point I want to make: the touch screen in Tesla cars just don't make it. Everytime you want to do anything you have to lower your eyes and focus away from the road. This just kills it for me. It's almost as bad as texting while driving. I don't even understand this to be allowed by safety regulations. I love the idea of electric cars even though I think a common battery system that you could just change at filling station (just like gas) would be the solution for mile range. So, no, Tesla are not safe until complete driving automation comes along. Even if this ever happens, I'll just keep trusting my driving common sense
.
So what you're saying is, Tesla touchscreens are as safe as texting and driving, even though in reality they are much more advantageous and safe?
wow, 0 dislikes and 281 likes so far! It must be a new record
+MarkusRa I dislike 3 wheeler 2 ton unguided missiles AND I dislike Elon Musk and his Giga-scams.
How's them falcon battery swaps coming along?
Will he give the stolen ZEV money back?
Great video! Thumbs up from me.
Jim, Can you send me all of the wreckage of your old Tesla please?
yep and that's why owning a tesla is a dream of mine.
Elon is a not only a genius, it's a good man.
+Boko Gigani He's not the Messiah, he's a VERY naughty boy.
Lmao what a hypocrite, Keef.
Now if only Tesla is available in the philippines i couldve just bought a model 3 or S rather than a Volvo V40
that's great, now make the model 3 affordable in Australia, ok?
2:24 What`s the name of the music at the end?
Tesla is the Best
i love Tesla
Hell yeah for sure
tesla is the best. Period.
good marketing Tesla
this is a intelligent video
+Ghanshyam Yadav you are a fucking idiot!
right, You are a God, My savior. Oh wait, Why don't you just shut the fuck up.
Keef Wivaneff right, You are a God, My savior. Oh wait, Why don't you just shut the fuck up.
I love Tesla
Shit head.
cool
Top❤
❤
Hmm. I'll just buy one of the new Volvo’s with T8 engine.✨
Can you donate some... to me?
❤❤❤❤❤
His car crashed a day before my 10th b day
Tesla is too fast "on the green" when some idiot thinks he can cross it "3 seconds after red light"
这也太讽刺了
*******
Tesla cars 6 , oh, 7 stars safety tesla safer than the volvo!
this makes me want a Tesla 2
Who wants a Tesla 2 comment 123
no
I like Tesla and electric cars and if I buy me car it will be a Tesla but I really dislike this videos. Too much pathos for my taste.
Says the car company who can't correctly engineer the seat belt in the model S to hold the dummy in place very disappointing.
Says the kid who's completely worthless.

Nice spin guys. Reality is THE FRONT SUSPENSION FELL TO BITS and CAUSED the crash.
AGAIN!
See Flickr album Tesla Whompy Wheels for heaps more examples

The NHTSA has a total of 66 complaints registered for Tesla Model S manufactured between 2013 and 2015.
There are multiple complaints of unintended acceleration, faulty suspension, brake failure, sudden shut-down and stoppage, problems with autopilot, fires in batteries and chargers.
The investigation into battery fires resulted in a battery shield and raised ride height . The ride height has since been lowered once again.
An NHTSA investigation and/or recall would probably drive the company into bankruptcy.
Tesla has sold few cars compared to the major manufacturers. Most owners are also shareholders and problems are under-reported. So far Tesla might be flying under the radar of NHTSA.
Unintended acceleration
Conventional cars built up until the 1980's has mechanical linkages to the throttle and in almost every case the problem was caused by driver error or problems with the carpets or trim causing the accelerator pedal to be stuck down.
Things began to change from the 1990's with some manufacturers employing "drive by wire" meaning that an electrical signal from a sensor on the accelerator pedal controlled the engine's power.
Toyota introduce Electronic Throttle Control System in 2002 and when reports of unintended acceleration began to surface it initially denied the possibility of this system being responsible but instead blamed incorrectly fitted floor mats or driver error.
It was subsequently discovered that Toyota knew that the ETCS could indeed cause unintended acceleration and that problems with the factory supplied floor mats and placement of the pedals were exacerbating the problem.
In March 2014 Toyota was fined 1.2 Billion by the department of justice.
NHTSA came in for criticism over its failure to act.
In the case of Tesla unintended acceleration incidents Tesla has claimed that the logs show the accelerator pedal was fully depressed by the driver.
There is little doubt that the motor went to full power but short of a video recording showing the position of the driver's feet at the time of accident there is no proof that a failure in the car's electronic speed control system was not the real cause of the accident.
Battery Fires
It is clear from the accidents that involve Tesla battery fires that if the pack is damaged especially when the car has been driven hard and the cells are hot that a runaway thermal chain reaction can occur leading to a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.
The NHTSA investigation into several of these RUD events was wound up when Tesla agreed to fit additional battery shielding and to raise the ride height.
Unfortunately the raised ride height caused rapid tire wear on the inside edge of the tires due to the change in camber angle. Owners also complained that their cars felt less "sporty" and that wind resistance increased leading to reduced range.
It is hard to see that wind resistance would increase since the drag coefficient of the car is unaltered and the only increase in frontal area is the very small increase in tire area outside of the wheel well caused by raising the ride height.
Since the increase in ride height was one of the factors used to satisfy the NHTSA safety concerns it is remarkable that Tesla could lower the ride height again without triggering a response from NHTSA.
The battery shield even though it is made partially from Titanium is an extremely lightweight device held on with small Pan-Head screws.
The idea that it can protect from concrete blocks and hardened steel spikes is supported only by a very low resolution GIF that shows the supposed cinder block and robust car alternator being "pulverized" under the car.
Suspension defects
NHTSA database lists many complaints on the subject
There are very large number of photographs of Teslas with front or rear wheels splayed out at crazy angles or completely torn off that can be found on Google Images or on Flickr.
The suspension components on the Tesla are made from light alloy rather than from steel as is the case of most other cars on the road.
Whilst Tesla engineers may be very good at writing code, their mechanical engineering skills are questionable.
Critical suspension components on many cars are secured by pinned castellated knots or at the very least by Nyloc nuts.
Tesla choose instead to use Loctite thread-locker compound.
They very often mark the nuts with felt tip pen as a "tell-tale" to detect movement in the parts.
Loctite is intended to permanently secure a nut in place on a bolt. If the Tesla service technician decides to retorque the bolt during a service inspection the Loctite bond is broken and will no longer hold the part securely.
There is a widely held belief among Tesla owners that because the car is electric it does not require much in the way of regular servicing.
The brakes, suspension and other mechanical parts are no different to those on any conventional car.
The Tesla is a heavy and high performance car and its marketing highlights the "insane" acceleration and top speed.
Regular servicing and safety checks are even more important on such a car than on a traditional ICE car of more modest size and performance.
Sliced Wheels
The Flickr album Tesla Sliced Wheels shows many examples of this phenomenon. It is as though the wheels were spinning on a lathe and a cutting tool sliced them in half from the inside.
I can not find any examples of this phenomenon occurring on any other make of car. If this is not reason enough for an urgent NHTSA investigation and possible recall then what is?
Summing up
I believe that owners of Teslas should be warned of the risk that they may be killed or injured by these defects.
I believe investors should be warned that an investigation and recall by NHTSA could be damaging to the financial viability of Tesla.
Unlikely, I'm not driving a Terdsla
Keef Wivaneff
"a total of 66 complaints" hahahahahahaha that is why you are getting worked up? what a waste you are.
There would be a lot more complaints except for the fact that Tesla pays off the owners and then slaps a Non Disclosure Agreement on them.
nathan matthews Terdsla only sell a handful of cars compared to real Motor Companies.
This deathtrap has killed and maimed dozens of people already. It is a deadly piece of junk.
Stupid commercial, the hit was not that big. Try 100km/h front first, and see how safe it is...stupid
cbrooen test a normal car in that Speed dumbass
