A few days ago, a video uploaded by users showed that a Tesla had a rear-end collision. The accident happened on an elevated road in Shanghai. The red Tesla Model 3 did not brake enough to hit the green BYD in front of it.
Because of the fast speed and the low front of the Tesla, the rear of the BYD SUV has high ground clearance, so Tesla “shoveled” the BYD in front, and the front of the car got into the bottom BYD car.
Regarding the cause of the accident, today, a car owner made a voice on the Internet, saying that at that time he drove the AP automatic assisted driving at a speed of 80km/h, and followed the car in front of BYD normally.
Then, the car in front suddenly braked, and his Tesla issued a collision warning, but at this time it was too late for him to step on the brakes again, and he could not stop the car, causing the vehicle to rear-end.
Judging from the photos of the accident scene, the structure of the passenger compartment of the vehicle was not deformed, and the A-pillar of the vehicle was not damaged, even the front end and the front cabin cover were damaged.
Another day, what the owner did not understand was that the Tesla’s airbag did not detonate. At present, the specific details of the accident are still under investigation, and follow-up attention will be paid.
