For those wondering, never pass a semi on the right side. If you can always pass on the left. The trailer mirrors still dont provide much vision and the entire right side is a HUGE blindspot for the truck driver.
@@bbeth4 it's not illegal, but most companies have policies to limit it. The only time it's illegal if there is specific signage stating trucks use so and so lane.
I’ve noticed that. Truck drivers definitely get more ancy when I’m there, and when they don’t know I’m there they like, press completely against the right side and almost hit me.
Every time I pass a 18 wheel truck I do it as quickly as possible in case he loses a tire or makes a lane change. They have blind spots all around the truck where they can’t see you and lots of times people part themselves right in that Blind spot for miles.
In Canada too it would be a crime. A vehicle can be considered as a weapon. It sound stupid as; someone attack you with a baseball bat and, if you're not injured, police will not come...
Love the way you have made pretty much a whole video of Tesla drivers not paying much attention who then sent in the video of them not paying much attention. Seriously this video has made my day.
I liked number 19, a Honda stopped to quickly for auto pilot to respond. In other words the Tesla driver was driving to close to the car in front and ran in to the back of it. Lucky there wasn't anything in the lane to the right or the Tesla driver would have hit two cars.
Tesla drivers are typically rich privileged drivers. My uncle has a $120,000 model S and the way he drives and cuts off people is ridiculous. And he just laughs and jokes about it. “Get outta the way I got a Tesla! Ahaha” Ultimately, it isn’t the vehicle. It is that the owners are more rich than the rest of us.
@@mimcduffee86 Uh, as a trucker myself. Even with all our mirrors we still have very large blind spots. Please don’t get yourself hurt thinking truckers have no blind spots. Also, three lane roads through a city, the middle lane is the safest lane of travel for us. With all the vehicles entering and exiting the interstate it helps ease the flow of traffic and prevents us from sudden stops.
@@DivineTech arent trucks supposed to stick to one side of the road? I have no clue if that's a thing in the Freedom States 🇺🇲 but here in India its a law in most states that heavy vehicles must drive in the left lane
@@SmitePlayz_ in some states yes, but not all of them. Arizona for example has a regulation that when on highways use the outside lane for primary travel and the inside lane for passing slower traffic.
9:08 "This intersection has a rather long yellow light so Jalon says he knew he had time to make it." The light was red before he entered the intersection and he even sped up. The fact that anyone ruled this his right of way leads me to believe he didn't show the video to authorities or insurance and lied to police. I feel sorry for the Chevy driver cause now his insurance is fucked due to Jalon's recklessness and lies.
When you’re turning, you’re pretty much always at fault, it was pretty close whether he made that light or not, because you can see the stop line is pretty far back, that acceleration was a very bad call though instead of just stoppig
I don't drive a Tesla but like watching these videos because the cameras catch all the details. I'm impressed with how sturdy they are, how they never seem to flip, and they keep the occupants safe. I've noticed that Teslas hydroplane during heavy rain and that they often times are totaled. I assume the parts are so expensive, so it doesn't take much to be considered totaled. I wonder why they hydroplane so often. Whenever it rains heavy where I live, there is this section where the interstate changes into three heavily trafficked interstates and there are always crashed right there in the rain. Last two times it rained, I witnessed a Tesla spin out and crash into another car and hit the Jersey wall at high speeds. I assumed he was driving too fast, but maybe he wasn't. The other time, I saw a Tesla that had just recently crashed right before I passed, but it hydroplaned and hit the same Jersey wall head on and no other cars were involved. These are just two random incidents out of many that happens there when it rains. I've seen cars of all types crashed there during rain. It's probably because there is a dip from one of the interstates where it goes up into an overpass. Water probably accumulates there causing these wrecks.
I think the problem might in tires. I don't know what sort of tires are installed by default on Teslas, but hydroplaning means that wheels can't "dig out" all the water under them. Either the tire protector isn't good enough for rain conditions or people just drive too fast and aggressively.
@@ReasonX3 Teslas' are heavier than other vehicles because of battery weight and the vehicles skeleton (which is cast or poured). It still doesn't explain why it will hydroplane like that.
True, but why is the truck changing lanes? German law limits trucks on the autobahn to 80kph (50mph) and they must stay in the right lane. There seems to be no reason for the truck to change lanes.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 It's quite normal for trucks to go into the middle lane when there is an on-ramp, so cars can merge easier onto the Autobahn. You can even see a car approaching from the right. Also, trucks are allowed to pass other vehicles and therefore are allowed to use the middle or left lane (not very common though) for passing, except there is an explicit restriction for overtaking or the pass takes longer than 45 seconds
@@yourDecisi0n Thank you, Jens also. It would appear I've miscronstrued the information I had, it was from many, many years ago. I don't recall ever seeing a truck change lanes on the autobahn and I've taken didn't as couldn't.
#14 the truck driver be at fault for lying & etc to try scam the Tesla driver cuz that what it sound like but that driver didnt know Tesla has a camera on board
So you're saying all of them are that way, and that you would be that way if you owned a Tesla? Afterall, you didn't say that they can be knobheads, you implied that they are, and you didn't say a lot of them, or some of them, or most of them are, so you implied that all of them are.
Yup. Might be a "long yellow" but he had plenty of time to stop and did in fact run that red. No way would I think someone would try to run a yellow from that far back.
Yea the cammer is definitely at fault, Technically ran a red. He intentionally sped up and caused a bigger accident. Could have been avoided if jalon didn't keep going.
"Chet was driving his model Y Performance when it experienced a slow puncture / stone chipped windshield. The insurance company deemed the Tesla a complete write-off at $98,000, with extra features." Right to repair, lol!
I don't know the law where Jalon lives, but where I am, it's that if the lights go from green to yellow you stop unless it is unsafe to do so. There was clearly plenty of time to stop. That doesn't absolve the other driver of responsibility, but everybody has a duty to avoid dangerous situations, and going through yellow lights does not help. As it is, the light turned red as he crossed the line, and that is irresponsible driving.
Idk the laws in all states, but it's crazy it seems to mean "Proceed with caution" many places, when in Europe, yellow means "Stop if safe to do so". The moment the light turns red the intersection should be entirely empty. Many lights in America has very very long yellow and red lights, and people run it multiple seconds after, it's crazy. The mentality of "Knew he had time to make it" is so stupid. Jalon should have stopped like half a mile before. Like the black car in the right lane is probably just about the cutoff of where you should have stopped instead of kept going. I would 100% have blamed Jalon for that crash to be honest. You even see him floor it when he sees the yellow light, and still manage to run a complete red light. Very stupid driving, could have killed someone.
Where I live (Orlando, Florida USA). As long as you have entered the intersection (crossed the solid white line) before it turns red you are legal. That guy definitely abused the intent of the law as he sped up to make it. Though what he did was technically legal.
All these videos were awesome. Yet, all I can think about is how many Tesla drivers aren’t paying attention while driving with Self-Driving, which causes most of these accidents.
Autopilot != Full Self Driving. The Full Self-Driving software actually watches you with the camera. If you stop paying attention it will start beeping at you. AutoPilot does not.
that's because he's idiots running on autopilot think autopilot mean it can do everything for you and they can do whatever they want unfortunately auto pilot doesn't work the way they think it does this is why some countries have it ban like Canada they banned autopilot because it caused more accidents because people are distracted while driving
@@cliffordstokes595 that’s why it shouldn’t be named autopilot right now. It’s not even close to be a full self driving mode but the idjits with it think they don’t have to pay attention at all.
I think Jayson at 9:28 was very lucky to be found to have the right of way. Not sure of the laws in the US, but here in the UK amber light means STOP at the line, or only cross if to stop suddenly would cause an accident i.e. from behind, not those wishing to cross traffic.
Same in the US. I'm pretty sure the guy didn't share the footage with the cops, or else he would've been determined to be at fault. At least partially. He even sped up as the light turned yellow.
Most states in the US have "permissive yellows" so if you enter the intersection going straight on a yellow, you have the right-of-way. The Tesla should/could have stopped but was technically over the line before the red. The other car should have waited and seen that the Tesla was not slowing down.
How much influence does the Police report have on the decision made by insurers in the US? Unless it is a serious accident, they may have just taken a few witness statements and made a roadside judgment of fault. Insurers may have the benefit of time and possibly other dashcam footage not available to the police at the time. So can they overrule, after all it’s their money that is footing the repair bills?
in the UK the dispacher sends out cops and ambulance even if its a small accident to make sure everyones ok and in america half the cars gone and there saying no ones hurt and its only a hit and run u dont need anyone like really?😂😂
19:57 Ayyyy I used to work at that Old Navy. Finally a video from my city in an area I know! Guess this was happening too much because not long after that, they put bigger and different signs up indicating it’s a straight only lane.
Exactly what I was thinking, if you are going to pass a truck then PASS IT!!!!!!!!!!!! His first mistake was passing the truck on the right(Suicide side).
Hey wham bam telsacam: would it be possible to see a Tesla in a town in the middle of Kansas? I kinda need to know since I saw my first one last night at a walmart
Fully, ten of these drivers could have avoided their accidents by being more alert and not driving next to a semi. The others just had to be along for the ride at the mercy of another driver that should have been paying attention. And Jalon... the light turns yellow, get ready to stop... you were way late on that light.
@@aminfozdar that's right. Altough if I am at the right side of a semi, I always try to get out of there as fast as possible because you never know if the driver has adjusted their mirrors correctly. I also hate the long trucks in the US for blindspot reasons. With the Cab-over-engine-models that are much, much more popular here in Europe, this accident would most likely not have happened because where the Tesla was hat the time of impact those models don't have a blind spot.
Marcel 10:25 Just cuz you’re in autopilot doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention! You had plenty of time to slow down and avoid the truck if you ***paid attention**
I wonder if they charged the truck driver with an illegal lane change. German law limits trucks on the autobahn to 80kph (50mph) and they must stay in the right lane. There seems to be no reason for the truck to change lanes.
# 13 Jaylon was clearly at fault! Yellow means prepare to stop! Video clearly shows he switched lanes and sped up but light turned red as he got to the stop line. Feel sorry for the person in the Chevy who I hope is ok.
#13, Jalon, total d**k move speeding up for the yellow light. Also, d**k move about claiming to Wham Baam that the yellow light was extra long so you felt like you can go. Jalon didn't cross the line until the light turned red, basically running the red light. The only reason the other person was found at fault was because they can't turn unless it's safe.
@@casperhansen826 yeah this channel shows tesla crashes so it makes you think only teslas get in an accident or something and that’s it’s really common, but it’s not.
If you’re a good smart driver you’ll be fine .. I’ve had my nice Mercedes’ for 4 years and I’m in Chicago and I’ve never been in an accident .. teslas here are so common here ..
@@casperhansen826 I was look for this comment, thanks. I was wondering why the repair time is ridiculously that long not mention..the majority of them are written off.
@@checkdilevels1180 The written off part happens if the repair estimate is above some percentage of the price of a similar car (same brand, model, age). It take ages to repair every car because they have to get new body parts from the car manufacturers, Tesla may be a little slower than others, it took 3. Month waiting time for my car (none EV) to get fixed last time, it was just a fender bender. The repair costs are quite high for all cars, if it is damaged on both ends or one side they are almost always totaled. I wouldn't worry too much, it is the same for all cars.
Some people really do shit out money in batches. I'd like that kind of financial supply like Deshawn at 15:50. He totaled his Model S Plaid on his own fault, didn't get any payouts and immediately ordered a new one. Also like Deshawn a lot of these incidents were either totally drivers fault like crossing on red at 9:17 (which is illegal) and withholding the footage. Or some of them happened due to lack of attention.
@@williamerazo3921 not sure where you got that he was talking abt a highway but trucks are assholes on backroads and city roads. if you're not going at least 15+ over they'll run you off the road.
Right off the bat, on the first video, that is one of my biggest pet peeves, people riding in either your blind spots for a long time or right beside you in light traffic. Those two scenarios are recipes for disasters.
Let me play devils advocate here. Except there is no such thing as a blind spot on the average car. Tractor trailers are the only vehicle on the road that could even be considered to have them and even then it’s no excuse. We have technology called cameras that could be placed at these few areas to prevent this. The fact we have done this makes no since. It would be cheap with todays cameras and could prevent almost all blind spot accidents. I’m sure as a trucker these too things you said suck and are annoying and aggravating.
@@brettrouleau7494 And when the guy in the Tesla had paid any attention while passing the truck (like looking around him and in his mirrors) he would have noticed the truck indicating right and would have made sure he was prepared to get out of the way. But it looks like he was sleeping.
@@brettrouleau7494 Preaching ! I've been driving for 3 years and I never tossed a fit about " someone in my blind spots" when all you have to do is shoulder check
@@liampetty2978 I think you chose the wrong clip, in clip 11 there was no truck, also everyone makes mistakes, and of course if you are watching a video with only Tesla's then there will be tesla drivers making mistakes, just because you see a few tesla drivers make poor choices in a situation where you are almost garenteed to witness tesla drivers making poor decisions, does not mean that all tesla drivers are bad drivers, of course there are some tesla drivers that are bad, but making a single mistake or poor choice does not make you a bad driver, it is normal for humans to make mistakes, even the best doctors in the world have made mistakes, does this make them a bad doctor? No. Also, when you are in a Tesla you have a feeling of safety, because you know that you can trust it to keep you safe, so it's understandable when drivers don't expect the car not to do it's proper job.
@@JoseFloresEC Exactly, I have a CDL (School bus driver) so I'm well aware of it being illegal to run a yellow, but sometimes heavy vehicles, like my bus, can't stop in time safely, hence why I said only run it if you can't stop in time for it.
That's when it is at it's best... stop&go traffic... the worst kind of mind numbing traffic to manually drive in. It's his fault for using the improper settings for the traffic he was in, not just for using the Autopilot function.
And the guys solution is to next time adjust his autopilot to number 7. What a complete moron. How about next time just drive the car like everyone else
his fault for owning n driving a tezzla. tezzla a toastla after crash. too much damage n cost $$ to repair it astronomical. gotta get a new car. best it not be a tezzla.
I just came across this and I was super surprised to see #17 because I actually pulled up in my car right when that van took off. You can see my headlights at the very end. When I saw the wrecked Tesla I knew immediately it was a hit and run. I followed the van since he was going the same direction I was. That van was hauling ass! In and out of lanes. I called 911 to report what I saw but the operator told me no one had reported an accident so there was nothing they could do. I know it was years ago but if Kieth ever needs pictures of the suspect and van they can reply to this message. At least I hope I still have the pictures backed up.
8:25 There's a hidden feature in Teslas: If you press AND HOLD the park button on the driving stalk, the Tesla will engage emergency brakes, no matter what speed you're going. My wife and I lost our MS to SUA, so when I bought the MX we tested that feature during the test drive (in a parking lot). It works!
9:03 Yellow doesnt mean drive. It means STOP if youre able to stop without making a emergency stop. This person had alot of time to stop. Its the tesla drivers fault. atleast it would be in Denmark
So you are saying the individual turning into the path of an oncoming vehicle bears no responsibility to make sure the path he is crossing is safe to do so?
@@larrybe2900 Jalon was supposed to stop. Yellow means slow/stop unless you’re in the intersection or can’t stop. The car that turned was following the rules of the road unlike the Tesla.
@@Brea95 If it makes you feel better but the car still turned into the path of an oncoming vehicle illegal or not. There might be circumstances like if the light runner was going "90" and the person turning could not have reasonably known the car was coming or something similar but something like this it will be the car leaving his/her lane that will be at fault. Now if witnessed by an officer both probably would get a ticket if the officer saw the car speed up for the red. I have followed a semi through an intersection not knowing until I was in the intersection the light had turned red, was I at fault? I felt bad but innocent because I honestly did not see the light turn through the cycle. I would suppose if an officer saw me I would have been cited. That happened to me three times and I can remember each one. strange.
@@larrybe2900 yeah he turned into him but Tesla was still wrong. Tesla ran a red light and the other car turned into him trying to get out of the street so others could go. The other car thought he was going to listen to the light and not speed up and run the light. You run a light and get hit you’re in the wrong not the other driver.
All we learn from this video, that it takes months to fix your crashed Tesla, or takes ages in USA to get insurance claims sorted. I crashed my diesel car, it took 3 weeks to fix it and repaint front of the car and it was ready to drive
Why on earth do people set the autopilot to the closest setting? You wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) be driving that close normally, so why rely on technology ‘under development’ to do any better?
Probably because everybody else is an asshole. My land rover has adaptive cruise control and if you set it to say 3 car lengths there's always some asshole that feels the need to cut in front then my car slows down back to 3 car length and same bullshit over again.
@@zzpaul01 ban auto pilot and send everyone a call stating that auto pilot will be removed from the car and if they refuse to bring it in the car gets reported as a illegal car and police will arrive at your house
People used to know how to drive cars. The problem with autopilot imo is that people don’t need to know how to drive. Pretty soon everyone on the road won’t have a clue as to how to save the car if it loses traction. 17:00 is a perfect example.
The problem with autopilot that it shouldn't be called "autopilot" in the first place. Tesla basically tests alpha versions of their driver assistant on their own customers.
Ad the other commenter has explained, the problem is that this isn't true autopilot. Also, in order to have a perfect autopilot utopia, you need that every single car has an autopilot too.
17:37 How fast was he going in the rain? 16k miles on tire doesn't mean anything, low thread depth 4/32 (doesn't need to be bald) will cause higher chance of hydroplaning.
That truck driver really said "OH! I didn't see you down there lil buddy"🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔 "wait a minute.. some ain't right here"🤣🤣🤣🤣. I know that sucks, but that is fucking hilarious!
4 months for accident repairs is obscene and completely unacceptable. Tesla needs to significantly improve its customer service. This would be a complete dealbreaker for me.
I’m going on month five on waiting for parts for my Chevy with still no estimated delivery date in sight. Thankfully they don’t effect my ability to safely drive, but still. It’s not just Tesla with issues supplying parts or even whole vehicles.
@@laurakate84 It has been quite a while since I last had an accident, but in all cases I was involved in one my car got repaired in 3 or 4 days. That included "waiting for parts".
@@laurakate84 Not going to call BS on your story because I don't know what parts you are waiting for, but my Chevy has been hit twice and repairs, with repaint took less than 2 weeks. Sorting out payment and paperwork with the insurance company took far longer than the repairs themselves. I also owned other brands, and I've never had to wait for parts for more than a few days. But I do hear Tesla owners constantly complaining about waiting months and months for even the simplest repairs. It's a constant given with Tesla and an outlier/rarity with other companies. Not to mention a repair estimate of over $20,000 for what looks like a destroyed rear bumper and some underlying bumper structure seems obscene. It's almost like they're designed to be disposable after even the smallest accident.
@@ganymede3141 Have any of your repairs been within the last year and a half? Prior to mid 2020 I had the same kind of experience as you stated. Now there is a backlog of everything. Parts and vehicles. One part is the reservoir for wiper fluid and the others are cosmetic parts for the interior. Nothing vital thank God, but still. Much different from any other experience prior to 2020. A lot of cars of all makes are being totalled now for seemingly minor things. A big part of that is even salvage prices are through the roof. So insurance companies will pay less to call a car a complete loss and sell it for parts than to repair it. That is more true when you factor in potentially having to pay the inflated rental car rates for an extended amount of time. All cars are effected right now. But most people don’t really realise it unless they have the misfortune of having to deal with it first hand. All electric cars are literally built different than traditional ICE cars. So the same accident on the same part of the cars will result in different damage severities under what we can see. Insurance companies are hesitant to authorise repairing batteries for one things. So one potentially damaged cell will call for a whole new battery. That’s just one example. There are also far fewer body shops that meet the standard requirements for authorised repairs. So you have the compounded issue of few parts and fewer people who can repair them. The people who can repair them also charge more. And rightfully so because honestly it does require a whole different type of skill set than traditional body shops. Teslas weren’t on most people’s radar until the last few years. Just in time for all parts of the economy to go crazy. Including cars. So a “normal” experience hasn’t been possible for many of the people complaining.
Crazy, the intersection that Jean Ah Oh’s accident was in is the same intersection in Atlanta Where I was in my accident. An 18 yr old boy driving his moms Mini Cooper rear ended me going +35mph (said his foot got stuck under the gas pedal, pretty sure he was on his phone) while I was sitting at the red light. Pushed me into the car in front of me, 2 months later, 3 rentals, and over $10,000 in damages I finally got my 2019 C300 Mercedes back & repaired.
Yeah this definitely should have been the tesla drivers fault at least 80%, plenty of time to react, unsafe driving for the conditions, clearly wasnt paying attention.
The 5:43 crash, I don't think it's a #HONDABUMP, the Honda didn't cause the accident. A the Honda driver did bump him, but it's not his fault. We need to have standards
I love how Tesla has fully integrated cameras on its all, a no-brainer for all car manufacturers imo. Other than that, I find it very odd of that lost-control in heavy rain conditions, too much torque from the electric motor?
You would think that Tesla's being heavier than most other vehicles would help it not to hydroplane, but you're on to something with the strong torque from the motor, and also the regen braking.
These videos are the reason I drive so carefully now! There should be a law that all driver's training classes should include one full class day of watching these videos. It's a great teaching tool for the stubborn minds who think it won't happen to them. And who wouldn't love spending a classday watching these videos? I drive like my life depends on it now. Always looking for red-light-runners and cars veering Into my lane....basically everything you see wrong in the videos 😅
Advice to people based on the first clip: Pass big vehicles quickly, and spend as little time as possible near them. I see drivers matching speed with semi trucks and staying beside them for miles. Personally, I try to limit my proximity to vehicles weighing 20 or more times mine. 10:20 So Marcel doesn't pay attention, is slow to react, and then can't make an avoidance maneuver without losing control of his car. OK. The only reason the decision went his way is because the truck driver used the turn signal *after* he had already begun the lane change, instead of well before.
This is why i will never trustvan auyopilot system in vehicles, the first video and second one is proof that there is no replacment for human in control
As a former driver trainer up here in northern Canada 🇨🇦 most of these accidents were preventable.. seems to me drivers think because they drive under the speed limit during bad weather they should be fine 😂 your speed should always be dictated by the road/weather/time of day or night & traffic conditions.. learn to read the road further than your front bumper 😂… been driving professionally since 1979.. drove over 700thousand miles without a single accident .. drove US & Canadian interstates from Maine to Cali🇺🇸 & PEI to Vancouver 🇨🇦 in blizzards etc etc.. start driving defensively.. just because the light is green doesn’t mean you should just “Zoom” through 😂

Exactly what I was thinking!!!!
I noticed this exact thing. It's really fucked what he did but it's probably too late to change anything
When you’re turning, you’re pretty much always at fault, it was pretty close whether he made that light or not, because you can see the stop line is pretty far back, that acceleration was a very bad call though instead of just stoppig
@@jadenbright3854 You ran a red light tho.
he was definitely in the intersection before the light was red. You just have to cross the white line before the light is red.
I would love to have seen perspectives of the oncoming traffic at 17:26. It’s insane that so many cars barely scraped by!
I don't drive a Tesla but like watching these videos because the cameras catch all the details. I'm impressed with how sturdy they are, how they never seem to flip, and they keep the occupants safe. I've noticed that Teslas hydroplane during heavy rain and that they often times are totaled. I assume the parts are so expensive, so it doesn't take much to be considered totaled. I wonder why they hydroplane so often. Whenever it rains heavy where I live, there is this section where the interstate changes into three heavily trafficked interstates and there are always crashed right there in the rain. Last two times it rained, I witnessed a Tesla spin out and crash into another car and hit the Jersey wall at high speeds. I assumed he was driving too fast, but maybe he wasn't. The other time, I saw a Tesla that had just recently crashed right before I passed, but it hydroplaned and hit the same Jersey wall head on and no other cars were involved. These are just two random incidents out of many that happens there when it rains. I've seen cars of all types crashed there during rain. It's probably because there is a dip from one of the interstates where it goes up into an overpass. Water probably accumulates there causing these wrecks.
I think the problem might in tires. I don't know what sort of tires are installed by default on Teslas, but hydroplaning means that wheels can't "dig out" all the water under them. Either the tire protector isn't good enough for rain conditions or people just drive too fast and aggressively.
@@ReasonX3 could be. I wonder if there are after market parts for Teslas, like tires. Probably not though.
@@ReasonX3 Teslas' are heavier than other vehicles because of battery weight and the vehicles skeleton (which is cast or poured). It still doesn't explain why it will hydroplane like that.
Sturdy? 🤣🤣🤣 These Teslas are taking more damage than a normal car

most of these accidents were preventable if the drivers were paying attention.
True, but why is the truck changing lanes? German law limits trucks on the autobahn to 80kph (50mph) and they must stay in the right lane. There seems to be no reason for the truck to change lanes.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 no they dont have to. probaly there was someone on the far right side and the truck wanted to make space.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 It's quite normal for trucks to go into the middle lane when there is an on-ramp, so cars can merge easier onto the Autobahn. You can even see a car approaching from the right. Also, trucks are allowed to pass other vehicles and therefore are allowed to use the middle or left lane (not very common though) for passing, except there is an explicit restriction for overtaking or the pass takes longer than 45 seconds

9:15 The light turned red just as the Tesla entered the intersection. Remember, yellow doesn't mean "I can make it!"
Yup. Might be a "long yellow" but he had plenty of time to stop and did in fact run that red. No way would I think someone would try to run a yellow from that far back.

Great Best of Tesla Smash, can't wait for #2
"Chet was driving his model Y Performance when it experienced a slow puncture / stone chipped windshield. The insurance company deemed the Tesla a complete write-off at $98,000, with extra features." Right to repair, lol!
I don't know the law where Jalon lives, but where I am, it's that if the lights go from green to yellow you stop unless it is unsafe to do so. There was clearly plenty of time to stop. That doesn't absolve the other driver of responsibility, but everybody has a duty to avoid dangerous situations, and going through yellow lights does not help. As it is, the light turned red as he crossed the line, and that is irresponsible driving.
I agree, but the car that hit him also went through a red light apparently
Idk the laws in all states, but it's crazy it seems to mean "Proceed with caution" many places, when in Europe, yellow means "Stop if safe to do so". The moment the light turns red the intersection should be entirely empty. Many lights in America has very very long yellow and red lights, and people run it multiple seconds after, it's crazy.
The mentality of "Knew he had time to make it" is so stupid. Jalon should have stopped like half a mile before. Like the black car in the right lane is probably just about the cutoff of where you should have stopped instead of kept going. I would 100% have blamed Jalon for that crash to be honest. You even see him floor it when he sees the yellow light, and still manage to run a complete red light. Very stupid driving, could have killed someone.
I think you mean Green to yellow
@@jeremywp123 I did. Now corrected thanks.
Where I live (Orlando, Florida USA). As long as you have entered the intersection (crossed the solid white line) before it turns red you are legal. That guy definitely abused the intent of the law as he sped up to make it. Though what he did was technically legal.
All these videos were awesome. Yet, all I can think about is how many Tesla drivers aren’t paying attention while driving with Self-Driving, which causes most of these accidents.
🇷🇺🍷🇷🇺
Autopilot != Full Self Driving.
The Full Self-Driving software actually watches you with the camera. If you stop paying attention it will start beeping at you. AutoPilot does not.
@@jeremyn83 that camera actually isn’t used at all yet, but it will be used for the self driving taxi future thing
that's because he's idiots running on autopilot think autopilot mean it can do everything for you and they can do whatever they want unfortunately auto pilot doesn't work the way they think it does this is why some countries have it ban like Canada they banned autopilot because it caused more accidents because people are distracted while driving
@@cliffordstokes595 that’s why it shouldn’t be named autopilot right now. It’s not even close to be a full self driving mode but the idjits with it think they don’t have to pay attention at all.
WHAM BAMM TESLACAM never gets old
Thank you for ur efforts
I think Jayson at 9:28 was very lucky to be found to have the right of way. Not sure of the laws in the US, but here in the UK amber light means STOP at the line, or only cross if to stop suddenly would cause an accident i.e. from behind, not those wishing to cross traffic.
Same in the US. I'm pretty sure the guy didn't share the footage with the cops, or else he would've been determined to be at fault. At least partially. He even sped up as the light turned yellow.
Most states in the US have "permissive yellows" so if you enter the intersection going straight on a yellow, you have the right-of-way. The Tesla should/could have stopped but was technically over the line before the red. The other car should have waited and seen that the Tesla was not slowing down.
If you can get the full car over the line by the time it hits red, you're good. I'm shocked he was determined to have the right of way.
One of them 50/50s
How much influence does the Police report have on the decision made by insurers in the US? Unless it is a serious accident, they may have just taken a few witness statements and made a roadside judgment of fault. Insurers may have the benefit of time and possibly other dashcam footage not available to the police at the time. So can they overrule, after all it’s their money that is footing the repair bills?
5:08 he should also file a complaint against the cop who said they wouldn't send someone out.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
He should of sued then for the police for not helping and used the money to buy a new car

Fully, ten of these drivers could have avoided their accidents by being more alert and not driving next to a semi.
The others just had to be along for the ride at the mercy of another driver that should have been paying attention.
And Jalon... the light turns yellow, get ready to stop... you were way late on that light.

@@user-lw1cf9wr1m no one said they were innocent. Sometime it is their fault if u listen carefully

@@aminfozdar that's right. Altough if I am at the right side of a semi, I always try to get out of there as fast as possible because you never know if the driver has adjusted their mirrors correctly. I also hate the long trucks in the US for blindspot reasons. With the Cab-over-engine-models that are much, much more popular here in Europe, this accident would most likely not have happened because where the Tesla was hat the time of impact those models don't have a blind spot.
Marcel 10:25
Just cuz you’re in autopilot doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention!
You had plenty of time to slow down and avoid the truck if you ***paid attention**
I wonder if they charged the truck driver with an illegal lane change. German law limits trucks on the autobahn to 80kph (50mph) and they must stay in the right lane. There seems to be no reason for the truck to change lanes.

I was wondering why the repair time is ridiculously that long not mention..the majority of them are written off.
@@checkdilevels1180 The written off part happens if the repair estimate is above some percentage of the price of a similar car (same brand, model, age).
It take ages to repair every car because they have to get new body parts from the car manufacturers, Tesla may be a little slower than others, it took 3. Month waiting time for my car (none EV) to get fixed last time, it was just a fender bender.
The repair costs are quite high for all cars, if it is damaged on both ends or one side they are almost always totaled.
I wouldn't worry too much, it is the same for all cars.
Some people really do shit out money in batches. I'd like that kind of financial supply like Deshawn at 15:50. He totaled his Model S Plaid on his own fault, didn't get any payouts and immediately ordered a new one.
Also like Deshawn a lot of these incidents were either totally drivers fault like crossing on red at 9:17 (which is illegal) and withholding the footage. Or some of them happened due to lack of attention.
I also doubt that Deshawn was totally innocent in the supposed road rage incident with the truck.

Right off the bat, on the first video, that is one of my biggest pet peeves, people riding in either your blind spots for a long time or right beside you in light traffic. Those two scenarios are recipes for disasters.
Let me play devils advocate here. Except there is no such thing as a blind spot on the average car. Tractor trailers are the only vehicle on the road that could even be considered to have them and even then it’s no excuse. We have technology called cameras that could be placed at these few areas to prevent this. The fact we have done this makes no since. It would be cheap with todays cameras and could prevent almost all blind spot accidents. I’m sure as a trucker these too things you said suck and are annoying and aggravating.
@@brettrouleau7494 And when the guy in the Tesla had paid any attention while passing the truck (like looking around him and in his mirrors) he would have noticed the truck indicating right and would have made sure he was prepared to get out of the way. But it looks like he was sleeping.

It’s like the same thing with #11 the Tesla had plenty of time to react but just hit the truck. Starting to think Tesla owners are just bad drivers
@@liampetty2978 I think you chose the wrong clip, in clip 11 there was no truck, also everyone makes mistakes, and of course if you are watching a video with only Tesla's then there will be tesla drivers making mistakes, just because you see a few tesla drivers make poor choices in a situation where you are almost garenteed to witness tesla drivers making poor decisions, does not mean that all tesla drivers are bad drivers, of course there are some tesla drivers that are bad, but making a single mistake or poor choice does not make you a bad driver, it is normal for humans to make mistakes, even the best doctors in the world have made mistakes, does this make them a bad doctor? No. Also, when you are in a Tesla you have a feeling of safety, because you know that you can trust it to keep you safe, so it's understandable when drivers don't expect the car not to do it's proper job.
While his choices were unsafe, the other driver did not properly make sure that there was no oncoming traffic before turning.
It's still legal to go through a yellow. You just have to at least pass the line by the intersection.
@@JoseFloresEC Exactly, I have a CDL (School bus driver) so I'm well aware of it being illegal to run a yellow, but sometimes heavy vehicles, like my bus, can't stop in time safely, hence why I said only run it if you can't stop in time for it.

I just came across this and I was super surprised to see #17 because I actually pulled up in my car right when that van took off. You can see my headlights at the very end. When I saw the wrecked Tesla I knew immediately it was a hit and run. I followed the van since he was going the same direction I was. That van was hauling ass! In and out of lanes. I called 911 to report what I saw but the operator told me no one had reported an accident so there was nothing they could do.

8:25 There's a hidden feature in Teslas: If you press AND HOLD the park button on the driving stalk, the Tesla will engage emergency brakes, no matter what speed you're going.

Nah the turning car is either fully yielding or had a red light.

If it makes you feel better but the car still turned into the path of an oncoming vehicle illegal or not. There might be circumstances like if the light runner was going "90" and the person turning could not have reasonably known the car was coming or something similar but something like this it will be the car leaving his/her lane that will be at fault. Now if witnessed by an officer both probably would get a ticket if the officer saw the car speed up for the red.
I have followed a semi through an intersection not knowing until I was in the intersection the light had turned red, was I at fault? I felt bad but innocent because I honestly did not see the light turn through the cycle. I would suppose if an officer saw me I would have been cited. That happened to me three times and I can remember each one. strange.
@@larrybe2900 yeah he turned into him but Tesla was still wrong. Tesla ran a red light and the other car turned into him trying to get out of the street so others could go.

People used to know how to drive cars. The problem with autopilot imo is that people don’t need to know how to drive. Pretty soon everyone on the road won’t have a clue as to how to save the car if it loses traction. 17:00 is a perfect example.
The problem with autopilot that it shouldn't be called "autopilot" in the first place. Tesla basically tests alpha versions of their driver assistant on their own customers.
Ad the other commenter has explained, the problem is that this isn't true autopilot.
Also, in order to have a perfect autopilot utopia, you need that every single car has an autopilot too.
17:37 How fast was he going in the rain? 16k miles on tire doesn't mean anything, low thread depth 4/32 (doesn't need to be bald) will cause higher chance of hydroplaning.

4 months for accident repairs is obscene and completely unacceptable. Tesla needs to significantly improve its customer service. This would be a complete dealbreaker for me.

@@laurakate84 It has been quite a while since I last had an accident, but in all cases I was involved in one my car got repaired in 3 or 4 days. That included "waiting for parts".
@@laurakate84 Not going to call BS on your story because I don't know what parts you are waiting for, but my Chevy has been hit twice and repairs, with repaint took less than 2 weeks. Sorting out payment and paperwork with the insurance company took far longer than the repairs themselves. I also owned other brands, and I've never had to wait for parts for more than a few days. But I do hear Tesla owners constantly complaining about waiting months and months for even the simplest repairs. It's a constant given with Tesla and an outlier/rarity with other companies. Not to mention a repair estimate of over $20,000 for what looks like a destroyed rear bumper and some underlying bumper structure seems obscene. It's almost like they're designed to be disposable after even the smallest accident.
@@ganymede3141 Have any of your repairs been within the last year and a half? Prior to mid 2020 I had the same kind of experience as you stated. Now there is a backlog of everything. Parts and vehicles. One part is the reservoir for wiper fluid and the others are cosmetic parts for the interior. Nothing vital thank God, but still. Much different from any other experience prior to 2020.
A lot of cars of all makes are being totalled now for seemingly minor things. A big part of that is even salvage prices are through the roof. So insurance companies will pay less to call a car a complete loss and sell it for parts than to repair it. That is more true when you factor in potentially having to pay the inflated rental car rates for an extended amount of time. All cars are effected right now. But most people don’t really realise it unless they have the misfortune of having to deal with it first hand.
All electric cars are literally built different than traditional ICE cars. So the same accident on the same part of the cars will result in different damage severities under what we can see. Insurance companies are hesitant to authorise repairing batteries for one things. So one potentially damaged cell will call for a whole new battery. That’s just one example.
There are also far fewer body shops that meet the standard requirements for authorised repairs. So you have the compounded issue of few parts and fewer people who can repair them. The people who can repair them also charge more. And rightfully so because honestly it does require a whole different type of skill set than traditional body shops.
Teslas weren’t on most people’s radar until the last few years. Just in time for all parts of the economy to go crazy. Including cars. So a “normal” experience hasn’t been possible for many of the people complaining.
Jalon had plenty of time to stop for that light.

Pushed me into the car in front of me, 2 months later, 3 rentals, and over $10,000 in damages I finally got my 2019 C300 Mercedes back & repaired.
at 10:07 he could have avoided the crash, there was quite a bit of time to react and he was sort of far away from the truck
Thought I was gonna be alone on this one, he definitely overreacted and could’ve just got in the other lane.
One of the reasons teslas and auto pilot is not superior. You begin to rely on it with your life 😑
Yeah this definitely should have been the tesla drivers fault at least 80%, plenty of time to react, unsafe driving for the conditions, clearly wasnt paying attention.
The 5:43 crash, I don't think it's a #HONDABUMP, the Honda didn't cause the accident. A the Honda driver did bump him, but it's not his fault.
We need to have standards
Speedy recovery robbie 🙏
7:00
The other car: Gotcha wheel 🛞
I love how Tesla has fully integrated cameras on its all, a no-brainer for all car manufacturers imo.
Other than that, I find it very odd of that lost-control in heavy rain conditions, too much torque from the electric motor?

I wondered the same myself. It didn't seem too extreme for ESP to resolve
it was the regen braking 1 pedal driving slowed him down when he was on standing water
Regen caused this. It should have better tech to not engage so much on slippery roads. Another tesla that almost killed people ugh
You would think that Tesla's being heavier than most other vehicles would help it not to hydroplane, but you're on to something with the strong torque from the motor, and also the regen braking.
These videos are the reason I drive so carefully now! There should be a law that all driver's training classes should include one full class day of watching these videos. It's a great teaching tool for the stubborn minds who think it won't happen to them. And who wouldn't love spending a classday watching these videos? I drive like my life depends on it now. Always looking for red-light-runners and cars veering Into my lane....basically everything you see wrong in the videos 😅
Stay out the fuckin left lane there won't be no problems. Left is passing only
I agree these videos should be shown because mang of these were preventable if the driver was more careful and paying attention.
You lost me when you said make this a class
Drive like you’re on a motorcycle
Unfortunately, most people learn on the road...
The fact that the Tesla driver wasn’t injured in that wrong way driver accident.. goes to show how amazing Teslas are. Omg.
wow so cool wham bam tesla cam
Advice to people based on the first clip: Pass big vehicles quickly, and spend as little time as possible near them. I see drivers matching speed with semi trucks and staying beside them for miles. Personally, I try to limit my proximity to vehicles weighing 20 or more times mine. 10:20 So Marcel doesn't pay attention, is slow to react, and then can't make an avoidance maneuver without losing control of his car. OK. The only reason the decision went his way is because the truck driver used the turn signal *after* he had already begun the lane change, instead of well before.
Yup, the trailer truck signalled at least three seconds too late for a safe lane change.
It should have 100% been on Marcel
6:34 - Justin had PLENTY of time to avoid this accident, yet chose not to even try.
The driver was not concentrating on the road. The trap with the autopilot ?
Thank you. Justin was sleeping while his kid was in the car. These people today...
Lazy ass drivers
I noticed a lot of these Teslas the metal skin seems to rip and leave holes. How thin is the metal?
I hate how so many people realize they’re in the wrong lane and just cut you off without even looking at all.
This is why i will never trustvan auyopilot system in vehicles, the first video and second one is proof that there is no replacment for human in control
In Germany, a hazard warning light is always switched on when there is a traffic jam
Warm greetings from Germany
thats how it should be - everyone turns on their hazard lights when they dip below the speed minimum
3:36 the intrusive thoughts won XD
As a former driver trainer up here in northern Canada 🇨🇦 most of these accidents were preventable.. seems to me drivers think because they drive under the speed limit during bad weather they should be fine 😂 your speed should always be dictated by the road/weather/time of day or night & traffic conditions..
learn to read the road further than your front bumper 😂…
been driving professionally since 1979.. drove over 700thousand miles without a single accident .. drove US & Canadian interstates from Maine to Cali🇺🇸 & PEI to Vancouver 🇨🇦 in blizzards etc etc..
start driving defensively.. just because the light is green doesn’t mean you should just “Zoom” through 😂
11:28 Imagine if that snow was really packed into the corners of that road rail and pavement. He would’ve flew right off of that cliff. He would’ve cleared it, that is so dangerous
Jalon definitely should have stopped in that situation. You can see he actually entered the intersection on a red light.
He didn’t
@@HeartstopperguyWMAO743 if you look frame by frame it's hard to tell, which considering it turned yellow before he even made it to the solid line for the left turn lane demonstrates extremely poor decision making.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
He was already over the line so it's considered right of way
@@itsflyingqueso and even if he didnt have the right of way, the other car ran a red light so it wouldve been the other driver's fault
Satisfying video tbh
I love this channal
