Who else thought the watermark was actually painted on the car door, indicating a web entrepreneur with psychotic ambitions?

Metron4

so... does this get pulled out of the sales directors paycheck? and does the sales director sue tesla for not telling him to not take turns at 100 mph in the rain? oh no, he isn't american, he probably won't sue.

mrtallbones

I guess this will be sold as a Tesla refurb?

vandy1997

@jwoods3: yeah totally.

unkpku has a really long fucking screenname because i saw some other people do it

According to Wreckedexotics.com, there have been 3 crashes and no serious injuries. Props to Tesla!

pmac2322

What did he hit at 100mph to do that. Plus did they walk away? If so +1 for Tesla's I hope their the future. First electric car with GREAT range is what I like

milestailsprowe

Ye it happens. Bet its easy to forget how fast you are going with no (combustion) engine noise.

OdeliaTermite

Those dings and scratches can be buffed out.

jwoods3

well, i guess the sales director ain't gonna get any sales for that day..

weak_pig

Amazingly it still looks sexier than my car.

I was the first responder 2 weeks ago to a 65mph accident in a Ford Contour. After I put out the fire and took vitals, It was obvious neither occupant survived.
Cuddos to the Tesla.

kabster

this picture is a metephor for tesla. Nice looking wreck...

etimy

Seeing as how they got a "wreckedexotics.com" decal on their door, I believe that maybe they wanted to wreck their exotic. It's just icing on the cake that they crashed into a junkyard.

PinoErginus

@BethAulus: DIdn't seem to specify whether or not the victims died in any kind of fire.

@kabster: I admit I chuckled at Cuddos. (Kudos btw) :)

Seems unlikely that such a late model exotic would
end up stacked up in a pile in a junkyard. I
smell something fishy. And all you see is superficial
damage and removed parts.

dinsey

@kabster: Yeah, all that gasoline for those combustion engines has a slight tendency to burn.

"Watch how awesome this car's crash safety rating is"...(batman sound effects, sirens).

vista64guy

Wouldn't that be "Former Sales Director"...?

winmac

100mph isnt that fast

thegriefer

@thegriefer: it's fast when you hit something...

smokyburnout

egaads, that thing has gobs of torque. in the wet it would probably spin its wheels at the drop of a dime

Justifan

@smokyburnout: LIAR!

PinoErginus

I can tell you one thing that is not even CLOSE to a 100mph crash. Unless they just spun out in a field there is not close to the deformation that would result from that type of accident. Guardrails, trees, curbs, ditches, walls or whatever in a regular accident would cause much more damage at that speed. Not because it isn't a well made car...in fact the best cars are meant to break apart at higher speeds to transfer the force of the crash to the car instead of the occupants.

BS exaggeration story by the idiot salesman who cannot drive.

max11221

@max11221:
No one even fact checked the story but Autobloggreen, apparently it was 100kph (~62mph) not 100mph (still high but not as high as 100mph and according to physics a lot less damaging).

@BethAulus:
I got the fire out before they were touched by fire, they were both cut in half from the waist down. They died on impact.

kabster

So that's what electric sex looks like...

Jrsy is the dude, playin' the dude, disguised as another dude

Did the sales guy try to report it stolen?

Vagabum

Am i the only one confused by this car being dumped in a junk lot? It wasn't whisked back to the mothership? Something's wrong here, trust me.

keerock

@keerock:

A junked cars A junked car. It's totaled. I bet the motor isn't even salvigable(SP?). If it was I bet the owner sold it.

p75hmsa

@dinsey:

yeah i always save the wheels whenever i wreck a car...

nutbastard

@PinoErginus:

i almost told you it wasn't a decal... i see what you did there...

nutbastard

@keerock: Usually when you wreck a car and total it, the authorities are called and THEY are the ones who tow the wreck.

gerrylum

@kabster: Um, Cut in half from the waist down? Wouldn't it just be cut in half?

Duc

@p75hmsa: It think your right to some degree. Insurance companies won't "total" a car unless it meets certain criteria and once it is you can't sell the parts. But, the parts of this car are worth a ton on the market and I'm amazed they have it sitting in a scrap heap.

keerock

@gerrylum: Good point.
