Tesla hits back after $200,000 supercar destroyed by truck
Car manufacturer Tesla has hit back at claims its “safest SUV in history” has a fault after a $200,000 supercar was destroyed by a truck.
Shocking footage obtained by 9NEWS shows the moment the door of the Tesla Model X supercar was all but ripped off when it opened automatically on a major Sydney road.
Sam Kovac, the car’s owner, told 9NEWS the doors opened automatically on the Princes Highway, sending debris flying and causing “carnage”.
Mr Kovac claims he was meters away when it happened without notice.
“I came out to find my car in bits, it was just carnage,” he said.
“They key was nowhere near me at the time, it was 25 metres away from the car and the car obviously did it all on its own.”
The optional feature on the Model X requires two double clicks for both front doors to open.
