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.

Why was the engine removed?

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.

Gotta save weight, make it out of tin foil.

So is the test about how do build deadly barricades ?

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!

EV: Tesla Model 3: 1.8 Tons Non EV: BMW M3: 1.8 Tons BMW M5: 2.4 Tons Audi A4: 1.7 Tons Audi A5: 1.9 Tons.

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'?

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!😊🦾🇺🇲

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.

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?

Looks like the guardrail 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.
