    Probably because Tesla is not a car. Just an iPad on wheels.

    Tesla probably had throttled his top speed without his knowing. Should have used a different vehicle.

    I’m glad the wife and children survived because the Tesla was so solid

    @Space Ghost


    Apparently some sick people here want them to be in a Kia or Chevy so they would have been dead

    I think he should try again with a Kia or Chevy. No proof the result wouldn't the same.

    He should bring them to Texas. Abbott will take care of it.

    Experts say the design of the Tesla is what helped save these people lives. From the article linked below..

    A Tesla battery goes in the middle of the car, unlike a gas car which usually has its heavy engine right at the front.
    This means the Tesla is less likely to fall nose-first and instead has a tendency to roll sideways.

    Teslas also have a safety feature called a steel step frame, that is designed to redirect energy to parts of the car that can best handle it.

    Tesla roofs "are about 30% stronger in terms of crash resistance" than a regular car, Rasty said.
    "So they can support about four times the weight of the car where the average requirement is three times the car's weight."
