8:46 moment épique 😂
WTF pedestrians arnt safe in Texas? Especcially in the proximity of bus stops? Whats wrong with the US?
stay away from lifesaver interlock they have bad cameras and they give no help on there phones
This said nothing about how it "actually " works. It tells how to do it.. weak
This test shows just how bad a Tesla is. Just look at how far the dash moves inside the car, I would not want to be inside in this crash.
No engine...no wonder it crashed like that.
I hope there is no damage to the radiator, that really damage the motor.😂😂
Don't worry my dad was a TV repair guy he can fix it 😎👍
Auw !!!
never mind, the most sold vehicles by far, even more so in TX, are full size pickup trucks. Much heavier than the average electric vehicles. Never heard so many concerns about that, in the past.
Блоки вкопаны в песчано гравийную смесь, а также имеются подкладки из массива бруса. Всё это снижает точность разрушения автомобиля.
Cool. Now, do one that actually hits the bumper and the frame.
The purpose is to stop the bed and cargo. I am sure you can work out why.
@mikeconey2164 it's A LOT easier to stop the cargo when the cab eats the collision. In a regular car, they build in "crumple zones" to absorb the impact before it hits the passenger compartment.
Okayyy??? No explosion?? Fuel tank broke apart, no leaks??? Where did the motor go?? Was it at the cargo area??? Hummm???
@@hectorbatista585 The motor went underneath. This test was purely to stop the bed and cargo.
@@Roboticus_Prime_RC What do you suggest then? Ten foot high solid concrete barriers? That would look fantastic outside an embassy. These stop the truck, thereby stopping a bomb or the truck itself from hitting the target. This is an anti terrorism device.
Why was the engine removed?
It got shoved back and into the ground.
electroshit
Do you have any short span concrete bridges over rivers in places like the Caribbean Islands where storm waters are of great concern?
Texas Transportation Institute failed it's own test.
Is the barrier made of paper? If this is the standard in the US, it's very weak.
Hi, professional guardrail inspector here. This is thrie beam guardrail which is stronger than W beam. Guardrails in the U.S are made of U.S Steel. This guardrail isn’t weak one bit.
Gotta save weight, make it out of tin foil.
So is the test about how do build deadly barricades ?
It's a safety barrier.
@@gordonborsboom7460 Jeez, try reading. It is to stop the like of truck bombs, which is why it was a success. It halted the bed and cargo.
@@mikeconey2164 there is no mention of bombs in the text description
@@gordonborsboom7460 You saw the part about the State Department, right? It's not a far extrapolation to think this is supposed to stop truck bombs or big trucks in general that try to kamikaze into targets.
@@gordonborsboom7460 Do you want to be spoon fed everything? Why else would this be a success?
LOL! Useless test for nothing. The Ford Crown Vic from 1998 (2nd gen., EN114) was 1,8 tons - without passengers and without packages...
A model 3 RWD standard range only weights in at 3600lbs. A Long range AWD model 3 weights in at 4000lbs. This is well within all 4 door ICE passenger car weights. The guardrail itself failed.
No barrels were harmed in the making of this video
Hey! You scratched my barrier
That barrier totally failed.
Uuungh
There isn't much information here on the parameters of the test. With a gas vehicle, they naturally coast when they have momentum and no accelerator applied. With EVs, the motors themselves apply braking. How did the team testing this account for this to ensure a realistic simulation was performed? What would the difference be between a car where the collision avoidance system fails, but the driver's foot comes off the accelerator or if the foot stayed on the accelerator. I have to imagine there would be useful information between these three scenarios that could also be fed back to the manufacturer to design an even safer car.
PSML at US road safety, historically always been shite, I think those barriers are known for being crap, that just proves it lol... In the UK Armco would stop a truck unless it overrides it and every main motorway has median protection with Armco.
ограждение бутафория!!!! не такое стоит вдоль проезжей части на магистралях! там гораздо прочнее конструкция, и рассчитана на демпфирование удара автомобиля. Было бы настоящее нормальное ограждение, последствия теста были бы куда плачевнее!!
This is bs, why don’t you show some Hummer or ford trucks?
Это у них а у нас это ограждение отрежит авто вдоль как бритвой и всех кто был бы в автомобиле.
If you timed the jump perfectly…
Given the light damage to the car, I'm thinking that any average sized car will look the same.
Ehrm ... that is a Model Y, not a Model 3, no? Other than that, this vehicle is not *that* heavy, so probably this guard rail is simply not strong enough for bigger SUVs and Trucks at this speed. Thus, it is not clear how this test specifically relates to electric vehicles or what problem it is trying to point out? But the Tesla seemingly did great in terms of passenger safety.
Back 2 the drawing board
Note that the Model is actually a very light EV... Most EVs are 500kg more heavy..
Everyone is fine!!!
No engine!
No eyes!

Seems like the whole guardrail is a failure and was woefully inadequate to begin with. There are large SUVs, pickups, and trucks that are way heavier.
Must I conclude from this that someone cannot spell 'three'?
The system was named after its inventor, Dr. William Thrie.
@@SunriseLAW Thank you for that - today I learned something new! Best, Rob in Switzerland
@@RobWhittlestone Actually, I made it up. I think you had it right. :)
Why do they test with a Model 3? It is actually one of the lighter EVs. Wasn't the point to see how "heavier EVs" fared?
Tesla ❤❤
America nhtsa want us to all perish. They imported who they want here
Ah! Ah! Nice try! Tesla (an American company) wins again!😊🦾🇺🇲
Who do you think made the guardrail?
@@dirkvornholt2507 All are know is that TESLA makes the most American made cars. And that's awesome! 🦾🇺🇲
@@kfk256 I know as a German Tesla driver. But linking patriotism to a car brand seems a little strange to me.
@@dirkvornholt2507 I'm sure you are happy when German technologies do well. So, you understand the happiness of an American about American technologies doing well. It's not jab on you or anyone. It's simply about successful engineering outcomes by ingenious people in a country that encourages and supports ingenuity.
@kfk256 I'm happy if it creates well-paid jobs, wealth, and taxes for the community, but I don't think it makes a nation better or worse. Neither a brand makes a nation nor a nation makes a brand. The nation just influences the chances of a brand by supplying educated staff, and the brand pays taxes to fund education and infrastructure. Sadly, this symbiosis is kind of getting out of fashion.
So the point is those guardrails are poorly designed. Because the Model 3 isn't that heavy, and every car's goal is to lower the center of gravity for better handling.
When looking at the thumbnail, I suspect we have a clue that it is designed to be at a height where most of the densest parts of an average vehicle resides - the engine, but with an EV, the battery would be at or below the bottom part of the guardrail, so it would not have much effect to slow the momentum of such a low center of gravity. Just a guess and I could be completely wrong there. I'll take the automated safety systems to protect the car from going straight into the rail at that angle and speed and the added safety of very low likelihood of rollover any day though.
I guess time to go all jersey barriers then...
i don’t get it. what’s the issue? a Dual Motor Model 3 with no people or cargo in it weighs exactly the same as my 2011 V6 Tacoma Double Cab Long Bed with me in the driver seat. me driving my 13 year old truck into that rail will do exactly as this Model 3 did in the video. and i’ve towed and hauled things with my truck that a Model 3 would never. are we fat shaming EVs now rather than innovating better road safety technology?
A sedan should weigh as much as a full-sized pickup? Are you listening to yourself compare apples and oranges?
Looks like the guardrail failed the test.
Looks like your critical thinking failed the test.
Thoughts and prays for the brave truck driver that volunteered for that test.
No engine
This is why in many EU countries highway guardrails are double, and some times triple, i.e. protection at several height levels.
Due to the EU tests and national technical norms
