A 2018 Ford Explorer, marked police vehicles, was operating with lights and siren when it proceeded through a red traffic light at an intersection. The subject vehicle, 2020 Tesla Model 3, was proceeding through a green traffic light at the intersection and struck the Ford.
Here is a 2020 model y in the junkyard [link removed] it has been partially disassembled which makes it hard to determine why it ended up being written off. However. The front motor and suspension has been removed as a complete assembly and it is obvious that there has been a suspension and steering failure. Blown up photograph is attached to this submission. The top ball joint has slipped out of its stupidly designed slot. Worst of all the steering arm ball-joint has popped apart.
