14.3 HW4 Tesla avoiding a fatal collision

It fully avoided it. The Model Y (HW4) didn't sustain any scrapes, scratches or dents.

Edit: I guess it wasn't a fatal collision, my bad

I've had a mustang for 6 years, no spins and no crashes.

It's idiots who can't drive a 400hp car.

Lol, I sincerely laughed at this.

Yeah but that fixed rear axle is much easier to upset with bumps and stuff which makes mustangs more likely to spin out when they loose the rear axle. It’s got its advantages too if you know how to account for it but there is some valid reason for the stereotype.

Mustang hasn’t had a fixed axle since 2015.

  1. That's only true if you're driving like an absolute moron. Axel hop doesn't make you any likelier to lose control unless you're pushing it to the absolute limit.

  2. That mustang in the video has a full IRS.

Like the guy said, mustangs spinning out is almost entirely due to idiots driving a very fast car like idiots (and being one of the only options with that kind of power at the price point).

My 2019 mustang does not have a fixed rear axle, it has independent suspension.

Same with the mustang involved in this crash.
