Tesla Model 3 Survives Terrifying Tree Crash, Emerges Unscathed via InsideEVs
A Tesla Model 3 surprisingly survived a storm in the Netherlands last week. A Twitter user shared pictures of a parked Model 3, squatting with a massive tree lying on its roof, alongside storm debris scattered around it. One would expect a car to get crushed under the weight of a tree, but this particular Tesla appeared to remain intact.of trees falling on Teslas in the past, but the latest incident seems like a rare case where the vehicle was completely intact.
The only visible damage from the outside was a slightly caved-in rear roof portion. From the inside though, the rear windshield appears completely shattered, with shards of glass lying on the rear parcel shelf. It may not be the heaviest of the trees, but the incident is still worth highlighting the Model 3’s structural strength. The Insurance Institute For Highway Safety listed theas a top safety pick for four consecutive years between 2019-2022 in the midsize luxury car segment.
All Model 3s manufactured between 2017 and 2023 have a roof strength-to-weight ratio of 5.85, which simply means that the vehicle can withstand a force 5.85 times its weight, according to. The organization lists the Model 3’s curb weight at 3563 pounds, and the peak force it can withstand is a whopping 20,835 pounds.
Although, it’s common for four-door sedans to have a high roof strength-to-weight ratio. Many cars in the segment have earned a similar rating. IIHS also noted that it stopped conducting roof strength tests because “virtually all vehicles were earning good ratings.”
