TOP 20 BIGGEST TESLA CRASHES OF 2022

The Top 20 biggest Tesla crashes from Wham Baam Teslacam in 2022.
Teslacam Stories is a series of Tesla owners real experiences told by the Tesla Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos. All incidents are recorded from Tesla vehicles and submitted to this channel by other Tesla enthusiast. I contact each person who send me their videos to talk with them and learn more about their story and to follow up what happened after what we see on their video. Voice over and captions are added to describe what happened, and why. I believe that this additional information regarding the incident gives the videos a newsworthy value.
⚡Having problems with your Sentry/Teslacam videos?
If you wonder why some videos have glitching and artifacting, it's due to a slow USB drive being used - like the standard Tesla USB. Teslacam writes 4 video files simultaneously and you need a faster drive that is meant to be written on constantly, and overwritten daily. For example high speed memory cards used for video cameras, or SSD drives. I always recommend the Samsung T5 SSD. It's cheap, and very reliable and you will have no artifacting: amzn.to/345q8SX (Amazon Affiliate link)

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.

[@MyWitsEnd.]

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.

@@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

[@DivineTech]

@@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.

[@SaraHessXXIV]

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.

[@ReasonX3]

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.

[@SaraHessXXIV]

@@ReasonX3 could be. I wonder if there are after market parts for Teslas, like tires. Probably not though.

[@metalmike570]

@@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.

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.

[@marcus5551]

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.

[@AshKast]

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.

[@purpleturkey101]

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.

[@skeasy5437]

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.

[@skeasy5437]

One of them 50/50s

[@marcus5551]

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?

[@67VWForever]

Great Best of Tesla Smash, can't wait for #2

[@musaratqasim4810]

Your videos are amazing 😍

[@TheEulerID]

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.

[@aminfozdar]

I agree, but the car that hit him also went through a red light apparently

[@Akinto710]

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.

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.

[@casperhansen826]

@@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.

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".

[@ganymede3141]

@@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.

[@laurakate84]

@@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.

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.

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?

That happened to me three times and I can remember each one. strange.

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.
