A Tesla Model 3 Gets a Friendly Face‑Plant From a Tree—No Harm!
Picture this: a Model 3 cruising on a quiet suburban lane when suddenly a massive tree decides to go on a “pinned‑to‑ground” adventure. The driver had to scramble from the car to pull away from the leafy splatter—yet nothing else was broken.
The “Well‑Been‑It” Show
- The clip that blew up on Twitter hit 1.6 million views in no time.
- One giant pine leafless:
- It landed on the roof like a bulldozer.
- The glass stayed intact—no shattered shards, no safety glass escape.
- The passenger compartment door’s glass did the same. The driver popped out, no bruises, no coffee splatters.
- The Model 3’s roof can handle loads four times its own weight with barely a dent. Elon Musk was bragging about it while unveiling the car, saying it would stay simple yet world‑class.
What This Says About the Tesla Design
Our Tesla got lucky here, but the incident shows the car is tougher than a superhero’s laundry basket. It kind of proves that the design is built to bounce back from whatever nature throws at it.
On the Flip Side…
- In recent weeks, a Model Y had a weird power hiccup before it went up in flames.
- The U.S. is digging into potential safety bugs linked to Autopilot crashes and FSD’s sudden brake‑on‑the‑lights.
- Keep your eyes on those “phantom brake” sparks that Tesla owners are reporting on.
While it’s a relief that the Tesla driver walked away unscathed, just a reminder that even the best‑built cars can be stranded by a stubborn tree. So next time you’re driving, remember: nature’s still got tricks, but the Model 3’s roof may be the next best thing to a superhero cape.
