Many of the above posts seem to think that this was a spoof. I can confirm that while delivering another Tesla to the guys place of work in Denmark, I did see the car Tesla that had been involved in the accident.

I had travelled from the Uk with the other Tesla after having had some maintenance work carried out.

The crashed Tesla stood up to the carsh very well indeed.

Clearly a copulating case arising from the Prius degenerative braking system.

As Kristin said, the VW is light, more likely in europe what would have been the outcome if the SUV had been a 3 ton Rangerover? also I find the name prius way too close to the attitude of its victims, pious!

I’d loved to have seen the outcome if they had proper SUVs in Europe instead of hairdresser soft-roaders like the Touareg. Imagine that scene with a Tahoe or Expedition!

Toyota Pious: designed by boffins, tested by dummies, driven by idiots.

The most amazing thing was that nobody was hurt

I agree. When I first saw the red car It looked awful.

Certainly is – I was wondering yesterday who “Privatfoto.” I hope you’ll let Anthony keep the photos up. Without the photos, all that’s left are the jokes.

I’ve had a couple photos “above the fold” in New Hampshire papers and gotten credit for them. Even got money for one, but turned it over to the victim’s fire fund.

So, what happened to the motorcyklist, or was he gone when you arrived on scene?

I am informed by my Dansk correspondents that ‘wedgie’ is translated as (very anglicized phonetic spelling) oohlfoort. The shortened version is Al Gore’s dream.

If I was the unhurt driver in the Tesla, my first thought would be, “I waited two year to get this car and some weenie in a Prius just totaled it…Wow…look a the size of the gas tank on that SUV!”

The crash was caused by Global Warming/Climate Change.

Without the hysteria led Green Garbage campaign to lay the blame on
mankind’s CO2 output there would only have been a VW SUV on the road.

Dang it. Another one of my million-dollar ideas ripped off by someone else, this time before I even thought of it. If I had a nickle for every stroke of my genius…

Tesla is a really nice car. Although I’m highly skeptical on the whole man made global warming issue, I’m a big fan of these purely electric cars.

That accident could of gone all kinds of different ways including the SUV on its roof and with people dying. Drawing conclusion from a single event is unrealistic but fun :)
