Will be getting another plaid, either S or X though.....

Oh no! That's horrible. At least it happened in one of the safest cars out there. As others have said, definitely go get checked out. The next few days are going to hurt worse than what you felt after the initial impact.

Wow, sorry that happened! The most important part is that you are not hurt, which is all that counts. RIP Plaid

Thanks for all the kind wishes.....I'm doing ok. Went to the ER to get checked out and am ok.

Thinking back on this, I was lucky the Model S was so safe. After reviewing the dashcam, it was a head on collision by the idiot that ran the red to turn. Thank God for that feature!




Now have to deal with insurance. I had 5 Tesla's at my house at one point and now have only 1, when I need more! Lol

Wow, that was one insane crash. Great to hear you're fine!👍

Only 1 Tesla in your household now? How did that happen?

That is quite an accident! Glad you walked away from it unhurt. Good news is that there was a price drop on the Plaid, you'll get another one cheaper!

I can’t believe with that much damage you weren’t hurt, that looks really bad.
