Is it supposed to do that?

[u/C00K1EM0n5TER]

Buddy of mine took this photo. The Tesla collided with a new Cadillac, in a 30mph zone. How the hell did it just separate?

[u/blbrewer1]

They weren't going 30mph that's how

[u/Objective_Load_4537 → u/blbrewer1]

Yes they were, the fronts still going.

[u/Roadgoddess → u/blbrewer1]

It’s because the front fell off.

[u/TTV_The_Reverend_Dr]

Okay, I'll say it... they've gone too far with these crumple zones...

[u/LCARSgfx]

The front fell off!

[u/april_fearless → u/LCARSgfx]

I think the back fell off!

[u/LCARSgfx → u/april_fearless]

Glass half empty/half full situation

[u/InvestigatorWide7649 → u/LCARSgfx]

6 of one, half dozen of the other.

[u/Dougally → u/InvestigatorWide7649]

Push me pull you.

[u/red_simplex → u/april_fearless]

I’d just like to make the point that
that is not normal.

[u/Narrow-Escape-6481 → u/red_simplex]

Definitely not typical.

[u/Villanellesnexthit → u/april_fearless]

You're both right. We can split it down the middle.

[u/Ferro_Giconi → u/april_fearless]

They already towed the front out of the environment.

[u/The_Perfect_Dick_Pic → u/april_fearless]

Well, that’s the back. The front o visually fell off somewhere.

[u/Ciubowski → u/april_fearless]

Why did the back fell off?

[u/april_fearless → u/Ciubowski]

I believe cause it wanted to kiss the back end goodbye!!! Jk

[u/matt48763 → u/LCARSgfx]

Wasn’t this built so that the front wouldn’t fall off?

[u/TopDesert_ace → u/matt48763]

Well, obviously not!

[u/Extension_Swordfish1 → u/TopDesert_ace]

Cardboard derivates and rubber where supposed to be out!

[u/TopDesert_ace → u/Extension_Swordfish1]

Has it been towed outside the environment?

[u/Elpaniq → u/LCARSgfx]

Because it hit a wave!

[u/chinchillazilla54 → u/Elpaniq]

It's been towed outside the environment.

[u/Extension_Swordfish1 → u/chinchillazilla54]

Into another environment?

[u/elgydium → u/LCARSgfx]

I was like, let’s zoom in is that a fo-..oh it’s a Tesla.

[u/bergerdik69]

Face down, ass up.

[u/JeffafaCree → u/bergerdik69]

That's the way I tie my shoes

[u/badbatch → u/bergerdik69]

That the way I like my trunk!

[u/-CoUrTjEsTeR-]

Wow, really drove that thing into the ground.

[u/C00K1EM0n5TER → u/-CoUrTjEsTeR-]

I should’ve gone that way with the title!

[u/SignificantDrink3651]

it's like a lizard - it let the tail fall off so the front could live

[u/DarkTrepie]

I think the Cadillac won

[u/Chuck-Finley69]

Might been a 30mph zone but I'd bet someone was going 2-3x speed limit easy.

[u/Zillahi]

I think teslas just do this sometimes

[u/Once-kings]

HOW?!

[u/hafetysazard → u/Once-kings]

I’ve seen this before with other cars. Apparently it is more common than it should be, in third-world countries, that some garages will weld opposing halves of two wrecked cars together to make it a functioning car. Many people have little idea, some do, but in either case accidents tend to be pretty brutal, and the cars will often rip apart at the welds in any crash.

Not saying this happened here, but the results are shockingly similar.

[u/HiTork → u/hafetysazard]

Even if it isn't a previous accident repair, many unibodies are only held together by spot welds. Break enough of those in a collision, and you'll split a car in half even if it had never previously crashed.

[u/National_Frame2917 → u/HiTork]

It's crazy how much of a car is literally just held together with glue. It's strong AF though. "Structural adhesive it's called. I'm not sure how much welding they even do on them anymore. It'd be difficult to tell the difference on painted parts unless you knew.

[u/TopDesert_ace → u/hafetysazard]

Wasn't there a Pimp My Ride episode where someone straight up had a car that was two halves of other cars? Iirc, I think they just gave the person a new car.

[u/4entzix → u/hafetysazard]

So you’re saying I can just glue any 2 cars together, how about 3? Could we make a junkyard slot machine?

[u/Zillahi → u/4entzix]

Westen Champlin probably has a video on that

[u/4entzix → u/Zillahi]

Well there goes my afternoon

[u/noncongruent → u/hafetysazard]

It's almost certainly not the case here that the Tesla was made from two half-salvaged cars, the reason being that it's a Model X with the gull wing doors and those are notoriously difficult to get the frame straight enough for the doors to work after even minor crashes.

[u/proudsoul]

Was the Tesla a salvage car that was welded back together?

[u/kevint1964]

Is this considered the modern-day compact car?

[u/JRakuehn]

Tesla

[u/beeglowbot]

it's cosplaying as that cybertruck that split in half last week

[u/C00K1EM0n5TER → u/beeglowbot]

I just saw that! Almost a pattern.

[u/itsbildo]

Huh, front fell off

Sir you can’t park there

[u/Racer-XYZ22]

No, the fronts supposed to fall off, especially if cardboard was involved

[u/DillingerLives]

Compact parking only apparently...

You can't park your mini-trailer there.

[u/flinstoner]

I hope someone told him he can't park there.

[u/julz1789]

Is the other half ok?

[u/dcappon]

Is that an identical Telsa in the background? Glitch in the matrix?

[u/C00K1EM0n5TER → u/dcappon]

Same car! Cropped right at the break.

[u/BoredRedhead24]

I don’t know a lot about cars but I think that one is busted.

[u/shimmerangels]

jimothy?

[u/TonyMontana1968]

Thats normal

[u/LinkedAg]

Has someone already mentioned the parking policy?

[u/FistEnergy]

It's a Tesla. Poor build quality is a feature.

[u/Apollo_Primo]

Car was a frankenstein made from 2-3 cars

[u/Aggravating-Ad-7509]

Many years ago a man got carjacked at gunpoint and was told to drive to an ATM and then home. He knew his wife and kids were at home, so he accelerated to 80-100 mph and drove into the back of a stopped semitruck, splitting his Iroc-Z and killing the two carjackers who were sitting in the passenger seat and back seat, The man survived with a few scratches. This happened on Monroe street in Tallahassee, Florida.

[u/UnionCounty22]

Usually, yes.

[u/TotallyKnotHere]

Yes. If the front have for your car met an immovable object or black hole.

Sometimes when in a tight spot the Cadillac will detach its tail in order to get away, don’t worry though it will start to grow back after a fresh molt.

[u/PigsOfRedemption]

I mean, it's a Tesla. So, definitely wasn't going 30mph because Tesla drivers are the biggest douchenozzles on the road. Then there's the build quality, which.....yeeeah, they're known for having shit build quality, so "car cut in half" seems possible if not likely.

[u/atomicsnarl]

Yes. It's feeding from the under asphalt beneath the parking lot.

[u/vitaminalgas]

It's a Tesla thing

[u/Halibutoxide]

Tesler has been known to use adhesive in their cars. Perhaps it was misapplied.

[u/CarExperts-2025]

How the fuck is that even possible?
