Stunning security video has emerged of what appears to be a Tesla Model 3 flying into a parking lot at what appears to be at least 50 or 60 miles per hour and crashing into several parked cars, before what appears to be flipping over in mid-air.
The video surfaced on Weibo and shows about 15 seconds of security footage where a vehicle flies through a lowered parking lot gate at a breathtaking rate of speed before wrecking violently.
“The car lost control, suddenly accelerated, failed to brake, and crashed,” a translated version of the Weibo post says.
It goes on to say the driver – who had 10 years experience in driving – was rescued for 7 hours after the crash and had to receive a blood transfusion as a result of their injuries.
“Autopilot was not turned on and the brakes were stepped on,” a translated version of the post claims.
The poster on the Weibo board also wrote (translated):
“I said before there will definitely be similar things in the future. Because now the sales volume is up, the base will be bigger! There are exactly the same accidents abroad!”
You can watch the video here:

The most idiotic car maker in the world makes junk cars
I agree, and self driving cars will be even more dangerous, as they could be programmed to , say, ‘have a tyre blowout and drive off a cliff’ that would be attributed to a blowout etc.
Indeed. Funny fact: “Yandex” is testing their robotic cars in the US, at streets. KamAZ (truck manufacturer) could do the same. It’s better to do not in Russia, he-he. Transport cars with autopilot could be useful, but not passenger cars.
I often wonder how robotic vehicles will behave in snowy weather and floods, and this could easily happen during a journey that started in good weather.
the muss murderer touchless NSA is happy
But capitalization of this crap is bigger than “Ford”, GM and FIAT combined. Who said it’s fraud? It’s invisible hand of the market!
And the end of the road of a ‘fraud’ is the same as a ponzi scheme crash. The Pump and Dump crew gain and the deluded lose the shirts on their backs.
Here is another one:
“When a country adopts an economic system based on unregulated greed and selfishness, the invisible hand that guides the market will give the invisible finger to the public.”
The middle one?) Feel the difference between english and russian size

I thought “you got to be kidding”, but then I saw the pictures. Hilarious.
Two thumbs up!
It’s a gesture “middle finger” in Russia. It’s not to you of course, just for illustration to depict our market’s invisible hand.
The staff were probably smoking grass like their boss when they made this, lol.
Elon Musk also wants to connect not just your car but your brain to the Pentagon’s Ziocorporate globalist terrorist war-profiteering machine with Neuralink. And the blind sheep that adore celebrity and consumerism clap like trained seals when they hear about it.
Please, even with the throttle wide open pushing on the mechanical hydraulic brake will stop the vehicle. When you see stuff like this it’s due to pedal misapplication. Zerohedge has a hard on for anything that’s negative against Tesla.
Maybe the Lithium batteries had a voltage spike? :D
If there was a spike the voltage regulator would suppress it. There would be a sudden disconnection of power to protect the expensive motors.
That would have been the plan, but I don’t think Boeing were hoping their first new jets would decide they wanted to crash neither.
No worries though, the stock markets still believe in them, and we know how honest and truthful those people are, lol.
If you watch the video you’ll also see that the center brake light is not illuminate, so the brake pedal was never depressed. Brake switch is a normally closed circuit that opens when the pedal is not depressed. If the switch breaks the brake light comes on. Once again it’s pedal misapplication.
That’s what the consumer gets when they have computers making all their decisions.
Ouch, ain’t that the truth.
Two thumbs up!
Whoops! Wrong pedal.
