As Insko drove east on Highway 14 near Cape Horn, WA, though, a freak accident happened. Out of the blue, a 37-pound boulder crashed into his electric car. The impact was massive, shattering a large part of the Model 3’s windshield. The rock also bent the steering column, split the dash, and moved the practically immovable 15? center touchscreen before landing in the passenger seat. “All of a sudden, my car just seemed to explode as this 37-pound rock flew through the windshield, smashed into the dashboard, and bounced directly into the passenger seat,” the Model 3 owner said [ https://www.kptv.com/news/it-s-a-miracle-it-wasn-t-worse-boulder-crashes/article_3c2b265e-dd97-11e8-a7f3-1b4e5425f0a3.html ]. Relating his story to a local news outlet, the Model 3 owner stated that it took him a second before he could process the freak accident. Fortunately, his Model 3, bent steering column and split dashboard and all, was still able to move. Insko was eventually able to pull over to the side of the road, despite being unable to see due to glass in his eyes and face. [image] Jade Insko’s Tesla Model 3 after the accident.
