Amazing the windshield is intact. I've noticed this on several of the Model S accidents. Trying to think of an accident that chopped down a power pole and didn't shatter the windshield.

Is that what happened here?
No worries. Sorry if my phrasing led to confusion here.In reading back I see that I based my remark on one of your comments: "At this point, I'm more concerned about the car than the woman." I think that, as a non-native speaker, I misunderstood the intent or meaning of your post. My apologies.

2 things stood out to me (aside from her being charged with DUI):
#2 She's apparently a doctor. Wasn't the MS driver that hit the Honda in CA a doctor as well? I suppose it shouldn't be too surprising to see similar backgrounds considering the cost of the car.
And the world loses another tesla.
This is definitely more than a coincidence.
Kimberly Jill Shibayama, a 34 yo physicians assistant according to Google search, crashes a black Model S with gray wheels in Murfreesboro, TN in August.
Then Dr. Juris Shibayama, a 38 yo orthopedic surgeon practicing in Murfreesboro torches a black Model S with gray wheels in November?
Doubt she's his wife (that appears to be a Dr. Libby Shibayama) but maybe kid sister?
My bet is this is the same Tesla and Kimberly was test driving big brother's car. So either the first one was totaled and replaced with an identical model or this is the same car. Which definitely brings up the issue of previous battery damage.
Surreal.
Post #19 in the quote. However, when you pull up the article, the name has been removed. If you google her name plus "DUI", the news article cited in #19 is the top hit, but her name is still missing.Source for Jill as the driver of the pole crash?
