Reader Lars H. sent this photo of a spectacular crash in Denmark involving a Tesla Roadster. He didn’t provide any details, so we can’t tell you what happened or how any of the drivers fared in the collision. If anyone’s got info, please pass it along. We’ve asked Tesla Motors if it knows anything and will update you if we hear anything.

And third place goes to the Tesla Roadster. Second, the mighty Toyota Prius and in first position, VW Touareg!!

 

LOLOLOLOL :D

[KoenigseggBG]

I bet TG have something to do with that...one of those test of their :lol: :D

[GTAMADDOG]

Haha, owned.

 

Sit down, Tesla.

VW Touareg is crushing the opposition!

[Baltoman]

I see what happened thar!

 

It seems that the Prius and the Touareg planned in crushing the Tesla.

 

1° Prius sneaks up on Tesla.

2° Prius speeds up with its uber hybrid powah and slams on Tesla's rear end.

3º Tesla's electric system shuts down making it stop.

4º Touareg comes out of nowhere and rams into the Tesla with great speed making it pass right over it.

 

What still doesn't look right is the fact that the front of the Tesla is messed up too.

They are saying that the Toureg & Tesla were stopped when the Prius came flying up from behind rear ending the tesla "under" the back of the Toureg (note the bit of tesla wedged in the back of the Toureg)

Lol, brilliant thread title! I actually thought it was some comparison between an electric, hybrid and diesel car! Gosh those are such brilliant circumstances for a crash!

 

Anyway, like Shadow said, it's pretty obvious the Telsa got shoved under the Touareg by the Prius. Notice how much damage there is to the rear of the car, compared to the front where the structure is still intact.
