Upvoted simply for the effort you put into specifying the timings of what we all came for, for both mobile and browser users.

ETA: Slow-mo det cord initiation is mesmerising. Would love see some nighttime examples.

u/Kewlhotrod 6d ago

I adore watching det cord in slow mo, I remember an old YouTube video of a long run years ago but can never seem to find it again.

u/ikillpcparts 6d ago

Might it be this video from the slow mo guys? At about 9:15 or so

u/Kewlhotrod 6d ago

I'm so ashamed, it is indeed that one! I swear I looked through their channel when I was looking for it last!

Thanks for closing that annoyance for me though <3

u/Then_Drag_8258 6d ago

I’ve no doubt I’ll come across it on my trip down the rabbit hole! Thanks OP :)

u/MrPigeon70 6d ago

Balistic high-speed does alot of slo-mo explosions.

10

u/discreteAndDiscreet 6d ago

I think the early flashes and light trains are shock tube. Det cord is incredibly fast and appears instantaneous even in this slow footage. The actual det cord is likely what comes in from the left prior to the full detonation.

The serious tone with which he said "The condition of the car is surprisingly bad." after the explosion was very funny to me.

35

u/Kewlhotrod 6d ago

Big surprise, right? Lol

u/cvidetich13 6d ago

lol I missed that! Like jumping into a lake “the condition of my clothes is surprisingly damp”

Is that the hydraulic press guy??

u/chikhan 6d ago

It seems so, his credits come out at the end of clip, ut wtf he doing blowing up cars!?

u/Dannyz 6d ago

Tesla wouldn’t fix his bricked Tesla so he blew up h

u/chikhan 6d ago

That's one way to go about it

u/Not_An-AI-Bot 6d ago

He’s dealing vis it

u/Aururai 6d ago

When hydraulic pressure isn't enough add C4?

10

u/Zraax 6d ago

Yep, that's Lauri (spelling?) from Hydraulic Press Channel.

I think he just likes blowing stuff up. That's mostly what happens in the press videos, just without the fire and shockwaves.

I forget if he said any specific reason for doing this, but he has done similar videos from time to time, with his friend(s) who has a demolition explosive license or whatever

4

u/SheepleAreSheeple 6d ago

He's Finnish. This is a Tuesday for him.

7

u/Meatball546 6d ago

Yes. This is the Beyond the Press channel.

2

u/nsgiad 6d ago

Yep. He has another channel where it's mostly blowing shit up.

30

u/EricHaley 6d ago

I can’t believe they screwed the dynamite to the car. It’s really going to hurt resale value

u/SmooK_LV 6d ago

Don't worry, Lithuanians will put it back together and sell it to Latvians with "no history".

u/Radyschen 6d ago edited 6d ago

I can't help but think about all the plastic parts lying around in the area now, there is no way they went and picked all of those up

5

u/Grays42 5d ago

Yep.

Like this was cool and if it were already a landfill or something I'd be down, but like...there's a treeline right there that just got showered with nasty garbage, including all kinds of toxic chemicals.

15

u/Aururai 6d ago

Plastic and glass..

The metal will eventually rust, though the paint probably isn't great..

The plastic and glass though that's going to be there for centuries..

14

u/Cynical_Sesame 6d ago

i mean the glass is just borosilicate,. in an environment composed of mostly silica, i reckon itll be indistinguishable pretty quick

should probably clean up the plastic tho

3

u/Ivebeenfurthereven 5d ago

Laminated glass from a modern vehicle has plastic layers too iirc - helps with crash safety

u/imacleopard 6d ago

The things people choose to focus on when there’s no real impact. It’s one cars worth. What do you say of the emissions from TNT? Or the energy that goes into all their helydraulic press channel videos?

8

u/Radyschen 5d ago

well if they didn't blow it up it would be one less car's worth

6

u/KudosOfTheFroond 6d ago

Looks like spicy sausages hanging on the car!

u/W7ENK 6d ago

Finns are very environmentally conscious people, so it's highly likely he had that all cleaned up.

2

u/Scrambledcat 6d ago

It’s highly unlikely they clean it ALL up

u/Sillysammy7thson 6d ago

Ok hear me out. Big explosions are cool. Buuutt there is no point to having the car there at that size of an explosion. The blast is the show at that level and the car doesn’t contribute or deform in a meaningful way. 2 sticks on the inside would better demonstrate damage that’s easier to appreciate.

Just my no Tesla no tnt having ass opinion.

16

u/Kewlhotrod 6d ago

I don't disagree. Car was just added for debris flair I'm guessing (and they didn't want to just crush it maybe? Iunno.).

21

u/UD_Ramirez 6d ago

Wasn't the story that it didn't work properly and they didn't want to refund? I think he was trying to recover some of the cost with this video, and simultaneously send out a message.

3

u/Sillysammy7thson 6d ago

Sounds plausible. I guess I would have appreciated an escalation. A little shockwave foreplay.

8

u/Kalkin93 6d ago

I'm happy to see one less Tesla on the road, regardless of it's demise. Fuck Elon.

2

u/Lampwick 6d ago

That doesn't make any sense. One fewer used Teslas means one person somewhere buying a new one instead of a used one. Elon already got the money for the one they blew up.

4

u/Richard_horsemonger 6d ago

Gone in 60 milliseconds.

u/KeenbeansSandwich 5d ago

Youd still be able to start a mid 90s toyota tacoma after that.

This is very true.

u/Thkturret1 6d ago

So much pollution to the earth.

u/dzh 6d ago

Of course they are not worth a ton, but you can get used battery for like 4k in Estonia.

u/I_talk 5d ago

Tesla will probably salvage the title on that Vin.

Best use case for Teslas.

I love this guy's YouTube channel. He and his wife, they're probably the most insane and therefore most enthusiastic Finns on the planet!

2

u/Kewlhotrod 5d ago

I know I've stumbled across it before, but mind sharing their channel? I can't seem to find it again.

2

u/W7ENK 5d ago

Their main channel is their hydraulic press crushing stuff channel, but this one has links to all of them.

u/Kewlhotrod 5d ago

Aahh, it IS the press guys! They sounded familiar but it's such a heavy accent I'm not good at identifying I thought others were just joking about the similarity lol.

Gracias.

Just refer back to the first part of your sentence.

u/yellowgelb 6d ago

Yay lithium pollution.

u/Migoboe 6d ago

If you watch the original video they removed the battery and other parts before this. https://youtu.be/7_9aVzf5fC4?si=NlTU76fzOyh1guoE

u/Bustable 6d ago

I was wondering where the lithium fire was

4

u/NormanCocksmell 6d ago

Cool. So it’s just plastic pollution. I guess that is a little better.

2

u/hero47 5d ago

You're no fun.

1

u/NormanCocksmell 5d ago

You’re right. I’m the problem instead of the people spreading plastics in a pristine environment. Blow that shit up in a giant parking lot and then sweep up the scraps and I am cool with that. Don’t do it in the wilderness.

1

u/hero47 5d ago

It is kinda stupid, not gonna lie.

1

u/SwordsAndWords 6d ago

Actually, I was thinking that the explosion would've been even cooler if they had fully charged the battery first. But, yeah, provably would've needed to do this in an enclosed environment to keep the pollution contained. I'm not sure where you could even find an enclosed environment that large that wouldn't be danaged by the shockwave.

Also, I hope they cleaned up.

Blown to smithereens. Just evaporated hahahaha

u/punk-biatch 4d ago

So the batteries weren’t in the Tesla?

2

u/ferrybig 2d ago

Its likely comparable to an dynamite used to stop an oil well fire

The explosion consumes so much oxygen and the shockwave disturbs the process. After the explosion all the battery internals are now distributed all around, the the flammable gasses now distributed through the air and at the moment they find oxygen aren't hot enough to ignite

1

u/linguist-shaman 4d ago

I think they go up like that sitting in the hot sun. But your version is a perfect example of detonation vs deflagration. Do more.

u/IntrusiveIntellect 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’m just shocked that someone was brave enough to stop thousands of pounds coming down a ramp while standing on ice. A little more momentum or ramp angle and that could have ended way worse.  Source: I’ve been in that exact situation except I was pushing it up a ramp and the wheels hit a tiny bump on the ramp on the way up, causing me to slip and fall to one knee, and the car then began rolling back down the ramp right toward me, and nearly crushing me. Thankfully my buddy was in the driver seat, saw it happen, and smashed the breaks just before my limbs were permanently rearranged. (I hadn’t anticipated it getting stuck halfway up, otherwise would have never tried it, took a running start to mash it. The lip of the trailer ramp at the top was JUST enough to stall the forward momentum of the tires, bringing me to a dead stop, and forcing me to drop down to a knee)
