CO Tesla Nearly Kills One: Crashes Into Parked Pickup

Someone should run the numbers on the physics involved in driving a Tesla at high speed to push a parked pickup 30 feet.

…Tesla Model X struck a Chevrolet Silverado that was parked along Middle Creek Parkway, near Voyager Parkway on the far north side of Colorado Springs. Police found an unconscious occupant on the passenger side of the Tesla. The Tesla collided with the parked Silverado at a speed high enough to move the truck about 30 feet, police said. “The unconscious occupant was determined to be a passenger in the car and was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries,” police said in an online blotter entry.

Several incidents like this have been reported recently, as Tesla for some reason continue to be unable to avoid crashing at full speed into cars around them.

Here’s a case from just a couple days ago that brought homicide charges for the Tesla owner.

Witnesses reported that a Tesla had disregarded the southbound red light on Central Avenue North at Smith Street and collided with a gray Prius in the intersection, then collided with a red Prius that was leaving a restaurant parking lot, according to police. They reported that the red Prius was struck so hard it was pushed into a nearby wall.
