Preliminary information indicates that the alleged driver who was under the influence crashed their Tesla into another vehicle just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The Los Angeles Police Department later confirmed that the Tesla driver ran a red light while going north on Olympic Boulevard near Georgia Street and crashed into an SUV.
The crash also impacted a nearby food truck and the people standing in front.
As I’ve said before, when dealers and service centers are the ones unable to prevent destroying a particular car, that thing probably isn’t safe to own by anybody.
A fire destroyed multiple Tesla cars at a service center in Miramar early Friday morning, and investigators are now considering the possibility of arson. The fire broke out around 2:30 a.m. at the Tesla facility on Trade Place, authorities said.
But more to the point, Tesla fire incidents are a norm for the sinking brand. It’s rare in other EV companies as to barely ever make the news. Yet Tesla fires go on and on. The brand allegedly has serious battery design safety flaws, coupled with highly incendiary comments by the CEO.
A serious crash occurred around 6PM on the state road between Weikersdorf (Wr. Neustadt district) and St. Egyden am Steinfeld (Neunkirchen district). A Tesla and another car collided head-on. A 39-year-old man from the Neunkirchen district was killed; other people were injured.
You have to watch the whole video report to get to the buried lede. A Tesla dangerously malfunctions, as they always do, and a mother has to destroy a window to save her child’s life.
When Kassandra stepped out to disconnect the charger, her Tesla unexpectedly locked her out, with her 13-month-old baby boy, Liam Valenzuela, still inside. “I started banging as hard as I could, but it wouldn’t break,” the mom said. Tesla’s security cameras captured the dramatic ordeal.
Another Tesla owner nearby came and helped break a window, rescuing the child.
She took the car to Tesla for an investigation and they deleted the evidence and claimed they had no explanation.
That is to say video from that day, and only that day, was mysteriously deleted while in Tesla care.
