I am glad everyone is okay. Shout to the MY safety.


Harjas2102

Impeccable. The car saved me and I am very grateful


Signal_Cockroa902335

She took one for the team, may she rest in peace. And yeah, mostly definitely totalled

Ok-Needleworker-419

If OP was in a standstill, there’s nowhere to accelerate. Tesla won’t accelerate into another car on purpose.


Murky-Ad4144

Is that a standard feature?


enjoythecollapse

Automatic collision avoidance, yes, among other life saving settings (if turned on)


Harjas2102

Not sure, something I’ve always wondered too


Harjas2102

Thanks for the kind words. I don’t believe it did though.


Madison464

Sue the F out of him.


Melzjohnz

And get a S plaid 🫣🫢


Frizzle95

80 mph in a rear end collision is so much safer than 80 mph coming head on. Glad you and everyone involved is okay. Hope you are able to get a nice replacement.


Harjas2102

Thank you ❤️


AthiestMessiah

Any chance you can share the video?


Harjas2102

[https://youtu.be/mfLAH5Xs8f0](https://youtu.be/mfLAH5Xs8f0)


PM_ME_MASTECTOMY

Doesn’t look like the person was traveling at 80mph and seems impressive how tame the crash seemed from the front camera view


Harjas2102

So the reason I’m gauging it at ~80 is due to the fact that in the first clip, the witness is traveling ~75 and the Jetta passes them, and continues to gain more and more distance right up until the collision, and you don’t see any brake lights at all until less than a cars length from where I was. The point at which brakes were applied, the tesla isn’t even in view anymore because of how close the Jetta is/possibly already initiating contact


MyLambInEagle

I agree with your assessment. Glad you’re ok and glad that other driver had a dashcam!


Harjas2102

Thank you so much, and yes, that dashcam was such a big help!


AthiestMessiah

He was going at 80 At some point but didn’t slow Down fast enough. Guy is a moron. And I guess he didn’t have sun gladses on to see that. Buy two polarized sets of cheap 10-15$ and leave them in the car. Life savers. Polarized though or you can miss seeing shit Good video. Question: did the Tesla airbags deploy? Which ones?


DropKnowledge69

Even though you walked away. Please make sure to get yourself thoroughly checked out. If you have any neck or back pain, ask your doctor to prescribe an MRI(s) to objectively verify if any of your discs were affected. I'd be surprised if you were 100% ok with a crash of that magnitude. A competent attorney should be consulted and guide you through the process. Best of luck and glad that you're relatively ok.


tragik11

This, pain and symptoms can come later it could be years sometimes. So yes, take this advice.


Harjas2102

Thanks folks, I didn’t hesitate to go and fully get checked up and things are looking good. Thanks for your support ❤️


Calculator143

Get a lawyer 


Responsible_Sky_4141

For sure agree on this. I had a wreck 5 years ago that I went into the median and hit the concrete at the end and launched my vehicle into the air, while towing a trailer. Not positive that cause the issues I am having now, but 2 years 2 separate sets of pt and then 3-4 months of chiro and I’m still having issues.


Harjas2102

I hope you continue to heal and get better


Responsible_Sky_4141

It gets better and worse depending on what I’ve been doing, but the pain can be managed. Trying to avoid surgery as much as possible.


clipse270

Ct scan. MRIs tend are not sensitive to vascular injuries which would be the primary concern in a trauma setting. Ask me how I know


ghostlyinferno

Just to add to this, if you don’t actually have any symptoms (pain, numbness, tingling etc) your insurance isn’t going to just cover an MRI. Agree to getting checked out, but going and asking for specific testing isn’t really the way medicine works, nor should it.


NB-THC

Just like you said . It’s just a car. You’ll get a new one , possibly a better one. Glad you’re okay .


Harjas2102

I appreciate the words ❤️


sh00t1ngf1sh

Exactly this. We can make a million of these. But there’s only one of you.


MagikarpWins16

Kinda wish this would be instant loss of license for the VW driver unless they could prove some massive mechanical failure beyond their control occured.


Harjas2102

Totally see what you mean


iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioo

Nah bro assuming this is the US, lots of fully licensed drivers roaming the roads with MULTIPLE DWI’s so no chance this driver loses their license. * FWIW I agree with you completely. Just stating zero chance it happens.


Oven-Kind

I’m impressed how little damage the car took from the description of accident. Glad your ok


Harjas2102

I was impressed too. Thanks so much ❤️


rhlp09

That's what I thought... I mean, getting rear-ended at 80 mph is quite a lot... Since everone is okay, I hope you get your new MY soon :)


Harjas2102

Thank you!!!


Gishwati

I'm mostly impressed that the passenger cabin looks as if it was not deformed. Plenty of damage, but humans were protected ...well done, Tesla engineers!


tmillernc

Ouch. That looks terrible. Glad everyone is OK.


Harjas2102

Thanks a lot ❤️


jaredb03

Glad you're ok. I got rear ended about a year ago stopped on a 55mph highway(not in a Tesla) and she admitted she was on her phone. It was pretty jarring, and can't imagine at 80mph.


Harjas2102

It’s really not worth for anyone to be on their phone…glad that you’re doing okay I hope. Thanks for the kind words ❤️


Sn0caps

God bless you happy to hear you’re okay. Please contact a lawyer and go through appropriate pain management needs as even if you’re feeling ok right now, it was a hard crash and lingering effects can pop out later


Harjas2102

Thanks a lot for the advice and kind words ❤️


willmok

Jesus... glad you're OK!


Harjas2102

Thanks a bunch ❤️


_inspired_one

Let us know what happens with your insurance. Hope you get all your rehab covered


Harjas2102

The claim process has been started. Luckily there is lots of video to back everything up


BillySpaceDust

I am glad for your safety and I hope you end up with a big check that gets you comfortably in a new one (perhaps the .99 club if it is still going on). I am curious to know if batteries are salvageable or if everything gets dumped? Maybe a dumb question.


Harjas2102

Thanks for the kind words. I think mine is gonna get dumped. I saw fluid leaking from one area of the vehicle where it was smashed in the hardest deep enough to where the battery is. Maybe some anode/cathode juice. We’ll see what the future holds, I think it’s a great question though. I wonder if I could donate my FAD computer so the chips and rare earth elements could be used


UghKakis

Sue his ass


autism_is_awesome

100%.


LeastRecording3392

Glad you are ok. Make sure to go get checked out by a trained medical professional. There could be aftershock that you are not aware of.


Harjas2102

Thanks a lot for your words ❤️ I got thoroughly checked out and have safely returned home. Just a fair bit of head and neck pain that is stable.


SkyHighbyJuly

Schedule physical therapy to keep an eye on you. Insurance will cover it for the foreseeable future. Last thing you want is to seize up because something goes unchecked.


Responsible-Pass6983

Just got in a wreck in my MYLR as well… research the statute of limitations by state, for injury claims!! TN is 1yr.


anddrewbits

Do follow up and get scans while its fresh if they didn’t do them yet. God forbid more damage shows in a year, you can’t go back in time to get the proof


Harjas2102

Got a pretty thorough checkup and didn’t skimp out on much. Luckily things are looking good. Thanks for the kind and caring words folks


anddrewbits

I hope you heal well and wholly. Thank God for the safest cars on the road


MadScientist-2233

By the looks of this picture as long as you’re alive and u can walk away from it!! Hang in there bud


Harjas2102

Thanks a lot for the kind words :)


therealhm2

What did the Tesla do during the crash? Did it automatically call emergency services?


Harjas2102

I immediately ran out of the car so I forgot what was initially shown but minutes later I saw a bunch of warnings about how the battery is going to die soon etc etc. My phone automatically called 911 and emergency contacts.


ms2496

Glad you are ok as others have said cars are replaceable. My daughter just got a Model Y so glad to see the safety of the car. You should see a doctor for a check.


Harjas2102

Definitely got seen to check up on everything. I’m glad your daughter will be in a car as safe as the Model Y is


banananananbatman

80mph impact is deadly, I am glad to hear everyone is okay. MY keeps proving to be one of the safest cars on the road.


Harjas2102

Thanks a lot. I have lots of faith in their safety too.


AdvantageVarnsen1701

I’ve got 3 herniated discs. I got sideswiped and was down for a couple weeks. Couldn’t imagine how I’d be in your shoes.


Harjas2102

I hope you’ve recovered well. I got seen and everything seems to be stable


AdvantageVarnsen1701

Yeah this was a couple years ago. Thanks for asking 👍🏿


Maxmans45

Glad you’re ok. Give your body 72 hours to figure out how hurt it is, but rest and relaxation for now. Keep an attorney handy


rubenhardy

I wonder why people almost always think only positive when it comes to God. OP said " God swerved me safely into the grass". The same god made the other drive bang on your back". 😀


ieatsushi

How long did you have your car for?


Harjas2102

Almost a year on the dot


hokutenn

Get a personal injury lawyer to get everything you’re owed.


BearCubTeacher

That’ll rub right out with a bit of polish.


puffyjacket85

I would think that car was new enough to have auto braking to prevent collision.


j0kerm4n

So glad you’re okay! Out of curiosity, how much crumple occurred in the back? Curious if you had a 3rd row?


Harjas2102

Thanks so much. He hit my rear right corner, bounced off of me, went into an 18 wheeler, bounced off of that and then back into me. More side and corner damage than anything else so not much crumple on the center of the rear. 5 seater. Loaded with storage containers with all my belongings cause I’m in the process of moving.


j0kerm4n

Wow! 🤯


lz4kelly

I’m glad you are ok. I hope the insurance will pay you well.


Harjas2102

Thank you so much ❤️


lz4kelly

You are welcome!


AlterFritz007

Passat or Jetta?


Harjas2102

Jetta


AlterFritz007

Good for both of you. The Passat is heavier. I hope that you will buy another Tesla.


Harjas2102

I feel very very safe with being in another Tesla. Let’s see what the future holds.


Mynd_

Dude glad you are ok holy cow. That whole thing caught on cameras?


Harjas2102

Thanks a bunch I appreciate it. I have a dashcam video from a witness who was right behind all of this, and multiple angles that the Tesla saved.


Arrogant_Amigo

Glad you are okay! Sorry about your car


Harjas2102

Thank you so much. It definitely sucks but I’m thankful to walk away from it


designandlearn

So sorry, glad you’re safe and I also hope you get a nice replacement.


Harjas2102

Thank you so much


BobbyABooey

What’s in that big bag


Harjas2102

Bunch of clothes with a comforter stuffed on top thats two colors. Either a blue-ish gray or brown.


No-Distance7821

Thank God you're safe. I was hit from behind last week as well bit the other party insurance is fixing my.


Harjas2102

Thanks for the kind words. I hope you’re doing alright.


melloack

Glad you're ok friend


Harjas2102

Thank you very much friend


Sharp_Buyer_9185

I’m glad you’re ok! Please come back when you’re ready to show us the new Tesla replacement. ❤️


Harjas2102

Thanks for the love, stay tuned ❤️


kensic9

glad you are ok. that looks to be very little damage for the impact speed of 80mph


Harjas2102

Thanks for your words, it could have definitely been a lot worse and I am thankful that I could walk away.


beenonone

Wow. I hope everyone is ok.


Harjas2102

Thanks a bunch


ILoveInNOut76

Damn, Im glad you are OK. Keep us updates on the circumstances...I hope he wasn't DWI.


Harjas2102

Thank you very much, I’ll keep up with some updates. In my eyes, there is no way it wasn’t either distracted driving or impaired driving.


saregister

Ouch! It'll definitely buff out, no worries. Seriously tho, glad you're ok. That could've been a lot worse.


thunderslugging

Well that sucks. Hopefully you get a nice payout to get another.


avebelle

Thanks for sharing. Hope everything works out for you.


TransportationOk5941

"It was fun while it lasted" and it can be again! Glad to hear everyone involved are okay


Lovable-Fun-28

Glad that you are safe. That's all that matters


VexOffend3r

Glad to hear you’re ok!🫶🏾💪🏾


Harjas2102

Thank you so much


VexOffend3r

My MYP was totaled last year in November but I walked away from it with just a bruised left hand and I was kind of glad because I was one of those people that bought the car before the price drop so I had no equity in the car all negative to the tune of about $17K so it being totaled got it payed off.


Dixie_Sunset

Whew! I agree cars are replaceable, thank God you're okay!


Harjas2102

Thank you so much


Cal216

Either he has amazing breaks or he wasn’t going 80 MPH. The trunk would be in the front seat if someone hit you at a standstill going 80MPH. Not to mention their front end would be in their backseat lol. I’m glad you walked just fine, that sounds extremely dangerous.


I_haveatinycock

I read this as “Either he has amazing breasts or…” and got really confused for a second


Cal216

😂


PR2TPA

Sorry to see, but glad you were lucky and able to post this.


Competitive_Band_125

Best 3 days of your life.


kWizmoth99

How you know 80mph


Harjas2102

I have dash cam footage from a witness behind the collision. The Vw that hit me sped past the dash cam vehicle whose own speed was about 74-75. The VW that hit me practically never hit the brakes until he was 0.5-1 car’s distance from me.


Kindly_Map_2382

The other day i was in the left lane slowing down to stop behind the only car waiting to turn left and there was a line of cars on the right waiting for the green light. A woman crossed in the middle of the street and was looking the other way, i saw her last min and started braking but i also saw that the tesla saw her aswell as there was a warning "emergency braking" of the screen. I was impress with the car, less by the woman, and her she got the fear of her life. This car is really safe


rsxstock

Wow the door and cabin area seems unaffected. That structure and rear crumble zone did wonders


Soggy_Credit_8344

Hope u have a good injury lawyer


ucdavis-grad

Great to hear everyone is okay. Great mindset about everything being replaceable.


Economy_Hope6166

Damn sorry for your loss 😔


Business_Bug1385

Glad you are okay!


Thick_Client_2868

So glad you're ok


QuantumProtector

Wow, glad you are okay. Consider submitting the dashcam clip to Whaam Baam Teslacam.


Harjas2102

Thank you! I’ll check it out. Is that here on reddit? Or Twitter?


financialnavigatorX

Send it to #whambamteslacam


grilledghum

Omg rip


SecludedExtrovert

Damn. How fast were yall goin?


FluxionFluff

Oh shit! 😱 Glad everyone is okay! Fucking terrifying! Definitely amazing how the Y held up. Even though you escaped unscathed, absolutely get checked out, just in case since you never know as some injuries don't show up immediately


lachers_30

So glad everyone is ok and you are 100% correct, at the end of the day it’s just a car.


Wolfinstien

Glad everyone is safe


STREETFIGHTER50

Glad yall ok though! Hopefully he has good insurance


Harjas2102

Thank you very much


kryztoze

Glad you’re ok!


Doppio914

Are you ok?


Harjas2102

I am indeed. Thank you very much for asking


Gremlin256

Glad to hear you are ok... !! Hope you checked yourself with a doctor. I got a concussion when I got rear ended by a person driving 65. Get yourself checked please


Harjas2102

I went and got checked the same day. Thank you so much for your concern


nachokings

Should buff right out


mm2kay

If you reset the car it will be good as new. Just hold the buttons down till the screen turns off. Jokes aside. My second Tesla my previous MY had a guard rail skewer the left side got me in the leg broke the tibia(still recovering but walking already) jumped on another MY on the .99 promo.


Gurl_from_the_point

Wow.


walkingthecows

Godspeed to you! Hopefully no one is injured at all.


OppositeArugula3527

Other guy was on the phone. Fuck him.


Emergency-Glass-9649

Submit the footage to Wham Baam Teslacam!


Harjas2102

I’m on it! :)


Ok_Crow_3199

Lucky escape. Out.of curiosity how did the glass roof manage the impact? Looking at photos looks intact, is that the case?


Harjas2102

Fully Intact. Couldn’t see a scratch on it


PaperOrPlastic34

Glad you’re okay man, wow. Definitely go speak to a personal injury lawyer ASAP, like tomorrow. Don’t speak to the insurance, especially the one insuring the individual that hit you. You’re not obligated to speak to them so definitely reach out to a lawyer and get medically checked out. Getting hit by 80mph is intense, no matter what vehicle you’re in.


Harjas2102

I’m getting right on it…thank you very much I appreciate it.


BearCubTeacher

So glad to hear that everyone walked away relatively unscathed. That’s actually almost miraculous! Still, injuries can hide for a bit after such incidents- so kind of keep a journal of things/symptoms. Something that didn’t escape unscathed will be that guy’s insurance premiums…


techpro00

Do not accept whatever their insurance first offer is. You should be getting a new car and then some extra on top of it depending on what their policy limit is


kingdom2000toys

Wow - glad your safe and the MY did its job.


FizzyJews

Praise be to God!


Important_Payment_88

God 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾


lol_lol_lol_lol_

Troopers be like - Tesla.com!! Buy, Buy, Buy!!


Alarming-Presence-35

Glad you’re ok! Question, though: Why do these accident posts always sound like it’s the end of Tesla ownership for them? “Only had it for 5 months!” Or “Fun while it lasted”? I assume it will just be totaled out and then replaced. Don’t get me wrong, accidents are awful, and often incredibly inconvenient, and I certainly feel for folks on those fronts. But like, you’re going to be able to replace it if you want (barring a few odd situations when loan balance exceeds payout for totaled vehicle).


SkyHighbyJuly

Glad you’re both okay! Praise the Lord! Whether you feel hurt or not. 100% schedule doctors appointments to get checked out. Concussion, neck trauma, spinal check, etc. Their insurance will cover it in full so no reason not to. Especially in a high speed wreck like that.


Harjas2102

I went straight to get scene (though I refused the ambulance). Totally agree with you. Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏼


spartanglady

Freaking Jetta drivers. I hate those folks who drive Kia soul and VW Jetta. Mostly Morons.


Harjas2102

Lol


Jor3lBR

FSD for all around us can't come quick enough.


staged84

TIL god = physics


Harjas2102

Update: Thank you all so much for the tremendous amount of love and care. It feels good to have a community like this to be able to fall back on. I did not hesitate at all, and went to get seen by medical professionals and am taking the necessary steps to ensure my health is as best as can be and monitor things. I was able to walk away from this relatively unharmed. The driver of the VW was eventually able to get out of their vehicle as well with some help, but was eventually taken by ambulance to a local hospital. Nothing seems to be life threatening, so that is good. This experience has illustrated the safety of this vehicle, and it doesn't seem like I'd choose anything else for a next car when that time comes. The ultimate cause of this incident is not known as of now. Here is the video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfLAH5Xs8f0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfLAH5Xs8f0) I also submitted on Whaam Baam Teslacam as many of you suggested. Once again, thank you. Your kind words, care, guidance, comical jokes, all mean a lot to me. Stay safe, and take nothing for granted. <3


PM_ME_MASTECTOMY

Fuck the person who slammed into you. Fuck them.


Aggressive_Mode_7393

I l surprised to see no airbags went of.....


Alarming_Fan_6455

Glad you’re safe. That’s why I love these cars. 


26fm65

The other party should not allow to drive for life. Glad you are okay.


PersonalAdagio4233

Did you have lnsurance? Just curious, in finland you must have one and you just would get new car.


TruthTeller-2020

Neck pain can come later…ask me how I know after have cervical surgery after getting rear ended. At least complain of neck stiffness and mild pain and get an MRI. Fortunately you were not hit square in the rear. I was rear-ended that ended up causing a herniated disc that worsened over time. They ended up having to remove the disc between c6/c7 and placed an artificial disc.


Krioyo_custom

Glad you and the other party are ok!


omniblastomni

I hope you get another one so you can let the good times roll again.


forgottenfilmrolls

Curious why no airbags went off


Wasabulu

Holy shit glad it wasn't a full on impact but the dude swerved at the end there. Otherwise this would have been badddd.


FunkyTangg

No video link of the incident?


Yggdrasil0521

God has a plan and you are a part of it. I was just in a statistically unsurvivable accident. I'm here by the Grace of God. You are loved. -YBIC


ifdefmoose

Glad you’re ok. Car can be replaced. Get red next one, it’s got better visibility.


ElectroConvert

Time to upgrade to the MYP. Glad everyone is fine.


kdubstep

So glad you’re alright!


MidEastBeast

Get with your insurance and sue for negligence or something. Youll already get a new car out of this, but maybe you can get a MS or MX now lol. I am glad you are okay. Agreed that life isn't replaceable, material objects are.


jtmonkey

I’m sorry this happened. I’m also kind of happy to start seeing people talk about accidents that don’t involve the car on fire. They’re super safe and I hope you’ll be back in one soon!


Foodstamp93

Glad u are ok. Time to sue!


ReformSchoolGraduate

You’ve sustained minor body damage. 2100 dollars and you’re good.


Formal-Wolf-1113

Glad you are all ok, this could have been way worst by the sound of it.


Born-Community-4495

I’m glad everyone is okay. I would seriously get yourself checked out though. I got into an accident (my brother was driving) long story short, I felt fine afterwards. Actually I was more worried about my phone that flew out the window. I didn’t realize till later that my hips, shoulders, neck, head weren’t completely “straight” I had bad nerve damage severe muscle spasms. I can’t do anything to fix it now except what I’m told “exercise and drink lots of water, do physical therapy…” nothing helps for more than 2 minutes at a time. Even if you think you’re okay, going through your normal day to day could be more impactful than you may think.


Zhjeikbtus738

It’s just a scratch, merely a flesh wound. She’ll walk it off


teckel

I know a guy who does paintless dent removal who could fix that right up for $150.


NecessaryLocation704

I am glad your fine and battery did not catch on fire. It did what it was suppose to do.
