    IDK about a pile of parts, rear suspension was certainly done and A-pillars bent but that could have been way worse.

    only thing I'd think about taking from that car is that motor if it wasn't damaged in the wreck.

    Yeah, and that wheel can be just popped back on, I'm sure...

    Not so much a signature as a cry for help.

    Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.

    You get me some chewing gum and zip ties and that car will be as good as new.

    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    the owner of the tesla was posting about it on their owner's forum and telsa posted the video themselves as a testament to its safety. I question how fault was assigned since the video was never in the original posts when the accident happened a year ago. The tesla guy just got his new car...

    I wouldn't have posted this as Tesla or the owner since it shows fault on both sides of the equation. Wonder how this played out...
