And it wasn’t even a powerwall. The unfortunate driver thought he Autopilot had…
…but that was a mistake with large consequences. When director Sylvain Juteau was ready with another song a checkbox on the joekelige screen of the Model X (driving test) and back to the road looked, he drove to his own words, already half in the water. At that time, was according to him, it is too late to put the car back in the right track send and went to the Model X kablabber against a wall.
“I thought I was on Autopilot (was it really activated or was I only believeing it to be activated, I don’t know) and I took my eyes off the road for a moment to change the song on the central display. When I looked up again, half the car was already off the road… I grabbed the wheel to steer away from the stone wall, but it was too late. Everything happened very fast.”
For devout Tesla fans is the weight of the incident extra heavy because the Model X, the Canadian is not just a Model X, but a so-called Model X Founder Series. Normally these models are exclusively reserved to some honcho’s of Tesla, as Elon himself and a select group of large investors. Sylvain Juteau, who the website roulezelectrique.com runs, got the special Model X, however, in your hands because he Tesla’s referral program has won in its region.
That referral program works basically the same as that of a seedy online poker site. The idea is that your personal relationships, turnover in hard coin, by people to persuade, also to spend their money with company X. Tesla runs this program still. At this point you may as a successful referrer will, for example, 21″ arachnid patta’s win or an invitation to the unveiling of Tesla’s new vrachtbak.
Sylvain’s car is now at Bugatti Montreal, which is the only by a Tesla approved body shop in Quebec. Sylvain hopes that his special Tesla, the only Model X Founder’s Series Canada, not declared a total loss. Fortunately, they have in these parts have some experience with patching up cars against a wall driven.
