I love that they had pre-cut the styrofoam wall in a cartoony hole shape because they knew it was going to happen.

From following video with raw footage they initially used a poster, but seeing that Tesla would just plow through it they built the styrofoam wall for a better effect.

With the visual there's no way it would not have. It's not hard to foresee.

They also didn't need to put an actually wall behind the photo and destroy the Tesla, but why not?

Pretty sure that tesla is in fine condition. It's styrofoam, odds are the car didn't even get a scratch.

Rumor has it that it exploded.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rear axle broke.

Of course, if the styrofoam was even mildly damp, the Tesla will be rusting now. 😅

The car definitely had some weird panel alignment after the crash, but that could've just been Tesla's legendary build quality.

How would the photo stand up without some kind of wall?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Looks like they have some kind of lines under tension, possibly staked into the ground. Could be done without a wall. But a wall would make it easier.
