Economical Vehicle Mashup vs The Tesla Roadster Sandwich

Feb 21, 2010 18:32

Volkwagen Tuareg stops at some traffic lights. Tesla Roadster pulls up behind it.

This is what happens when a Toyota Prius comes up behind such a situation at 80mph, shunting the Roadster into, and under, the Tuareg.










Due to the carbon fibre uber body frame, the Tesla driver walked away with minor bruising. Rear shunt of 80mph and walking away with minor bruising is bloody impressive for safety.

What I love about the company I work in is that everything is new - faults are being found out every day, whether it's with the car or the company processes, or even how to order stationary. It's a blank sheet of paper.

Thankfully on this occasion nobody was hurt. Within a few hours, changes were being made to the cars on the production line. The engineers that arrived on site, flown in from London, talked to the drivers and figured out what had happened and recommended changes.

Bloody stoopid Prius driver, though lol
