Don't open if your faint of heart... Mach-E Crash

[Plutoman15]

I don't have any information. Thanks to MPMOORE1979 for posting this in another Mach e form.... One less first edition mach e. The people are OK.

The glass roof doesn’t look too bad considering. Doesn’t look like it shattered to pieces. Cracked and crumbled a few places but still in place.

If I remember correctly, Bethania Garage used to offer a free Hard Dog bar replacement if you ever rolled your Miata.

Glad everyone is ok. A car is just a thing.

I wonder why the steering wheel air bag didn’t deploy?

Interesting damage pattern. Almost looks like it was driven real fast into a really, really, really tight parking space. ?‍

Probably an ex participant in Canada's worst driver show

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

"Make up your mind dude. Is he gonna shit, or is he gonna kill us?"

Doesn't look like there was frontal impact.

Maybe Rich Rebuilds can resurrect this poor 1st edition.

Only the side curtain airbags deployed?

For the same reason side airbags don't deploy in a frontal crash. That's a scary crash, and it looks to have held up well!

I was wondering about that too...trying to figure out where/how it got hit to spare the passenger side but trash all driver-side surfaces. Can't imagine a car this bottom-heavy would roll, but who knows? Certainly looks like an impact came down on passenger side front wheel though.

My best guess is it looks like the MME struck something on the front right causing the car to roll to the left and yaw to the right, (think classic Hollywood car crash) causing it to roll and finishing up on its roof I think but the scratches on the hood seem to point to that (hard to tell from pictures).
That's an impressive prospect! A car the weighs 4800lbs ish with a low center of gravity to end up even on its side.

I think it's safe to assume the car is totaled.

Can I grab those brake calipers?

 

[kdryden99]

Wow! That's quite a few MMEs that have been accidented already. Glad occupants are ok but sucks to see. I am curious to know what happens in this case. Does the insurance try to get them another FE or do they settle for a premium.

 

[MailGuy]

Glad everyone is ok and car handled this abuse well. A little miffed all of our insurance premiums just went up.

Oh no!

That's painful to see, but glad they are OK.

out does your rear ending 10 fold. Perhaps you can borrow some bits. Looks like his rear end was ok.

I would feel so devastated if mine were totaled. So far, the damages are $11,500. That seemed huge earlier this week but in comparison to this, not so bad.

That does seem a lot. I would be devastated too, especially after such a short time. I would cry if I had your damage. I just wish my car would hurry up. Love your vlog by the way.
