the delivery of his car turns into a nightmare

In order to save the $1,400 charged to deliver his new Tesla Model S to his home, Jeremaine decided to pick up his electric car more than 1,300 km from his home. Unfortunately, he was far from imagining that she would be in pieces 3 hours later.

Teslas are known to carry many cameras, used in particular for autonomous driving functions such as Autopilot and FSDbut also to monitor the activity around the vehicle with the Sentinel mode.

If the Sentinel mode has found itself at the center of several official investigations, in particular for fears around the protection of privacy, the effectiveness of the system is no longer to be proven. Whether it is to protect your vehicle from possible damage, or to provide video evidence to your insurer in the event of a dispute.

As you might suspect, the cameras of the hundreds of thousands of Teslas driving around the world have already captured sequences sometimes terrifying, incredible or surreal. The YouTube channel Wham Baam Teslacam has also made it its specialty, by compiling accidents, road trips or insane maneuvers recorded by Tesla cameras.

His Tesla Model S ends up in pieces 3 hours after picking it up

And precisely, we will approach this Monday, February 27, the misadventures of Jeremaine. This resident of the State of Louisiana decided to take the road to Pennsylvania, a journey of more than 1300 km, to collect his brand new Tesla Model S. The idea being to save the $1400 requested for the home delivery of the vehicleand experience a first road trip aboard his new sedan.

The reception of the vehicle goes smoothly and at 9:30 a.m., Jeremaine naturally takes the way back at the wheel of his Model S. He was far from imagining that 3 hours later, his Model S would be torn to pieces.

As revealed by the images captured by the cameras of the car, everything was going well when the truck just in front of Jeremaine suddenly veers to the right. Because, the driver of the truck narrowly avoids a Honda which arrives in the opposite direction on the same lane.

Jeremaine finds himself face to face with the crazy vehicle, which does nothing else to avoid the frontal collision. The owner of the Model S swerves to the right to escape the worst… During the manoeuvre, he hit the wheel of a semi-trailer traveling in the right lane. The Tesla swerves into the truck before being thrown violently into the freeway barrier.

The Tesla Model S is just a wreck : the front part disappeared, the tires were torn off and all the airbags were deployed. However, more fear than harm for Jeremaine, who escapes without a scratch. The accident having occurred at 12:20 p.m., Jeremaine will have taken advantage of his new car in all and for just three short hours. We suspect that he probably regrets not having opted for home delivery…
