Low speed, high speed. Forward, reverse. It doesn’t seem to make any difference. Tesla seem to keep crashing into poles, often killing occupants.

Delray Beach police are investigating a fatal crash that happened in the 100-block of SE 6th Avenue. The crash involved a Tesla Model Y that was reported by witnesses to be driving at a high rate of speed northbound on Federal Highway. The vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a light pole in front of a hotel. The driver died at the scene.

It’s become a running joke how any bent or broken EV sign pole is proof a Tesla has parked there.

For all the big and loud talk about Tesla supposedly eliminating crashes, it is peculiar how we regularly are witness to the opposite. Teslas often crash where no other vehicles would or should.
