Early in the morning, a Tesla “veered” off the road into trees, yet again.
2016 Tesla sedan was traveling east on Twelve Bridges Road at 6:35 a.m. Thurs. morning when the vehicle ran off the left side of the road, struck several trees, and overturned, which caused the driver to be ejected from the sedan. The Tesla then caught fire and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene said officials.
How fast does a car have to go to strike several trees before overturning? Usually it’s a late model Tesla killing people, so this goes to show even a 2016 version isn’t safe. (The video reporter calls it a 2017).
In somewhat related news, in California another Tesla just drove into a tree but it didn’t kill the owner. He walked away, only to be arrested by police and put in jail for being stupid enough to think that “Autopilot” and “Full Self Driving” mean what they say.
