Tesla electric car, BMW M5 collide: the result is exaggerated
Video of a car accident involving an M5 high-performance coupe. The Model S owner thankfully said that it was Tesla's excellent safety body structure that saved his life and prevented his child from becoming an orphan. As soon as the video was released, it immediately sparked heated discussions online. The accident occurred on a night in May. Vernon, who was driving a Tesla Model S, collided with a BMW M5 that was driving sideways at a high speed at an intersection. Vernon believed that the driver of the BMW ignored the stop sign at the intersection and rushed through the intersection at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour and hit the front of the Model S. After the accident, the drivers and passengers on both sides did not receive serious injuries. The four people in the Model S at the time only suffered minor bruises due to the airbag's rebound. The BMW's drivers and passengers also did not suffer any injuries. Later, the owner of the Model S uploaded the dashcam video and photos of the scene, and said that the other party's vehicle was more seriously damaged. The BMW M5 even rolled on the ground at least twice. How could Tesla miss this opportunity? They took this opportunity to make a big fuss and emphasize the safety of their products. Judging from the photos uploaded by Vernon, the damage to the BMW M5 is indeed much more serious than that to the Model S: the Model S only suffered minor damage to the left front face, while the entire body and rear suspension of the BMW M5 were severely damaged, as if it had been kicked from the side by Optimus Prime. As high-end coupes at the $90,000 level, is the difference in safety performance really that great? In fact, judging the safety and firmness of the vehicle by the degree of damage alone is not comprehensive. A comprehensive analysis should be made from the speed, direction, angle and volume of both parties at the time of the collision in order to look at this incident fairly. According to the video footage, the Model S was hit on the front, which is the harder part of the vehicle, while the BMW M5 was hit on the side, which is the weakest part of the vehicle. It is like A hitting B's waist with his knee, causing B to be seriously injured, while A is unscathed, which does not mean that A is stronger than B. Netizens have different opinions on this matter. I think that the high rigidity and high strength of the Model S body structure, the completely straight double octagonal rail structure and the six airbags can greatly reduce the degree of injury, but the BMW M5 that rolled over at high speed and was smashed on the side was able to leave the people in the car unscathed. It must be said that the safety of the BMW M5 seems to be more amazing. Whether the Model S or the M5 has a higher safety performance cannot be judged by just a video. The real answer still needs more professional testing methods.
