While the Model 3 clearly suffered extensive damage, it is indeed a big achievement for the person behind the wheel to have come out without any injuries. Such accidents usually tend to cause either fatalities or at least cause serious injuries.
Tesla has always made bold claims about the safety features of its cars and Model 3, its most affordable offering currently, is no different. And while Model 3's popularity in markets where it is offered is well established, such instances of passenger and driver safety could be a further shot in the arm for Tesla.
