先看圖:


















事發經過大概是一輛Model X被一輛GMC闖紅燈撞上
GMC的時速預估是72km/hr,當時Model X車上有六名乘客還有一隻狗
後果是除了Model X車主手臂有點擦傷外其他人全部安然無恙
照片中可以看到Tesla Model X的安全氣囊幾乎佈滿了整個空間
從那塊超大的前擋風玻璃到車側乘客位的車窗
車主說如果他開的不是Model X的話,他的車很有可能會被撞翻
然後車主在事發後五分鐘內也接到了Tesla公司內部的電話
(這是因為安全氣囊爆開後車輛會主動通知Tesla,然後他們會打電話確保一切安好)
我google了一下這台闖紅燈的GMC Yukon,應該是2013年樣式
這台車的空車重大概是2.5噸
引擎應該是6.2升V8
心得:
車比人家大又重果然比較安全啊XDDD,撞人的GMC看起來沒什麼傷
但這種大車吃油就跟喝水一樣,也不適合台灣狹窄的路況
不過Tesla的車安全性也真是夠好的了,被這種卡車型SUV撞到人都沒事
====================底下原文====================
Orthopaedic surgeon Jonathan Braman has spent a lot of time working on
patients injured in violent car accidents. That’s why he knew what to expect
for his family and himself after his Tesla Model X was struck by a large GMC
truck at over 45 mph after it ran a red light. To his surprise however, all 6
passengers (and his dog) walked away from the severe accident.
Braman credits Tesla and Elon Musk for keeping his family away from serious
injury or death by designing what could very well be one of the safest
vehicles ever built. Let’s take a look at all of the factors why through
Braman’s accident, which happened in Bloomington, MN, over the weekend.
As mentioned, Braman is an orthopaedic surgeon from Edina, Minnesota. He is a
longtime electric vehicle enthusiast and Tesla supporter. He owns a Tesla
Roadster (#1102 which he bought in 2010) and he reserved his Model X back in
2012, which means he had to wait four years to get the vehicle.
He took delivery of the all-electric SUV in April and while he only had the
vehicle for 4 months, he now says that he would gladly wait another 4 years
if it can save his family from any severe injuries again.
Last weekend, again only 4 months after receiving his Model X, Braman was
making a turn on a green light from East Bush Lake road to I-494 in
Bloomington, he made sure no one was coming from the other side even though
the light was red on the opposite side of the 4-lane road, but as he made the
turn, a large GMC Yukon ran the red light and hit the front fender of the
Model X on the passenger side.
Based on the distance the truck traveled in the second he saw it before the
impact, Braman estimates that the truck was going well over 45 mph.
He was particularly surprised by the efficient deployment of the airbags in
the Model X. He says it covered the entire passenger compartment including
the full panoramic windshield, which runs all the way over the driver and
front passenger. Braman says that his only injury is actually from the impact
of the airbag on his hand. He had it x-rayed at the hospital and while it is
bruised, nothing is broken. Fortunately, same goes for everyone else in the
car, including his father who was sitting in the front passenger seat – only
inches from the impact point.
Here are a few pictures of the aftermath (pictures by Jonathan Braman

As you can see from the pictures, it’s another great example of the large
crumple zone, which is due to the lack of a large combustion engine in the
front, taking the bulk of the impact. Although less severe, the aftermath is
reminiscent of the spectacular Tesla Model S crash after flying 82+ft in the
air, which also showed the importance of a large crumple zone – something
easier to accomplish in designing an electric vehicle.
Branman says that despite the severity of the impact, the Model X barely
moved since the truck just ripped through the “frunk” of the Model X.
Additionally, Braman believes that if he was in any other car, the vehicle
would have likely rolled over from the impact. The Yukon stands higher than
the Model X and weighs about the same – roughly 5,450 pounds. He thinks that
the low center of gravity, thanks to the large battery pack, helped keep the
Model X on the ground.
Earlier this year, we reported on Tesla failing to make the Model X rollover
through its own internal testing of the vehicle in preparation for the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests. Tesla expects
the Model X to become the first SUV to get 5-star rating in each of the
safety categories, including in rollover.

Braman was also impressed with Tesla’s customer service following the
accident. Tesla receives an alert if the airbags in one of its vehicles are
deployed and the automaker has been known to contact the owner to make sure
everything is OK. Braman says that he received a call from the company within
5 minutes.
Also, he says that his local Tesla technician contacted him, even though he
was on vacation, after seeing a post about the accident Braman shared on
Facebook.
“Thank you Tesla Team for our lives and our safety,” he wrote.
He is still waiting to hear from his insurer, but his Model X is likely
totalled. It’s his wife’s car since his Tesla Roadster is still his daily
driver. When talking to him Sunday night, he says that he now can’t imagine
putting his family in any other car than a Tesla.
“I want my family back in a Tesla,” Braman told me during a phone interview.
Fortunately for him, he will not have to wait another 4 years since Model X
production is now in full swing at Tesla’s Fremont factory. Wait times are
down to less than 3 months for most vehicle configurations.

以特斯拉前面是行李箱的情況下這樣應該算很威了吧

6.2 V8,該不會是LT1那顆引擎?如果是油耗應該還可以接受

之前網路上也有i3給SUV追尾的照片,也是出乎意料的硬(碳纖維車身?)

X真不錯,潰縮表現很好。

我很好奇全車門都開是不是也是故意設計的安全配備

有哪家是用鈦合金底盤的嗎?應該只有特斯拉吧!

骨架ok 質量大的車怎麼撞都贏 不過tesla安全性還真不錯 如果沒有自動駕駛的話
