UPDATE: Story with pics and link to dashcam video posted to Tesla Customer Stories.
----------------------------------------
I was hit in my Model S tonight. Clearly the other party is at fault.
My airbags deployed and my center screen went dead after I manually put on the parking break and turned the car off.
All four of us are ok. If the car was another 4 or 5 feet forward, I and the rear passenger on my side would likely be dead.
I have a dash cam. Will give more details to the forum after things have settled.
But the car took the impact well. The police and fire department were great and the Tesla service person answered the phone around midnight.
Only problem is that the center screen was dead so I couldn't put the car in tow mode. The tow truck driver says that my car looks totalled.
