WATCH: If You Ever Questioned Tesla Crash Safety Then You MUST See This Model S Vs Semi Outcome

Reddit user u/quarm813 recently posted a story on the r/TeslaMotors subreddit. As you can see from the images, his Tesla Model S is obliterated. It was hit by a semi, which ended up sending the semi's bumper right through the Tesla's windshield. YouTuber Rich Rebuilds posted a comment and a brief video revealing the Tesla on Twitter.

A Bumper from 18wheeler went through the windshield and he walked away with a broken arm. Believe it or not I’ve disassembled a Tesla that was worse than this and the person also walked away. Much respect. #tesla pic.twitter.com/eJFGOwinO0

If this was a Model X, the 'Falcon Doors' would have flown open and the occupants may very well have been ejected from the Vehicle based on the Pennsylvania crash footage posted a week ago.

Driving a car without 'Falcon Doors' may have saved the operators' life.

What a way to try to find a negative in a positive article. If it was any other sedan, they'd be dead too.

While I do not doubt the structure of a Tesla S, all sorts of folks have survived horrible accidents. Sometimes it's just plain luck.

Correct. A few more inches towards the driver it is a different story. The car helped as much as it could but luck is the major factor here. Sometimes it is far better to be lucky than good...
