The 33-year-old driver apparently lost control of Tesla while turning left on Route 141 near Duolun's Harburg district, the report said. His car crashed into several trees on the side of the road and was split in half. Photos taken at the scene of the crash showed the car nearly torn to shreds. The rear axle, trunk and rear seats were found in fields close to the road, while the front end of the car was in a cornfield hundreds of feet away, and debris from the battery pack was scattered all over the place.

Local police in Germany said the vehicle was likely driving at high speed before the incident, which is the only explanation for why the wreckage was able to fly hundreds of feet away. According to the local fire department, the accident went unnoticed for a few minutes because it was night. Other drivers eventually noticed the wreckage around 01:10 a.m. and called the police. And Tesla, which had the accident, did not automatically make emergency calls.
After receiving the alarm, paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after. After rescuers rescued the driver from the car, they tried to rescue him, but the injuries he suffered left paramedics in a hurry. According to the report, the cause of the accident and the reason for Tesla's collapse are unknown. Authorities are investigating the case. Bystanders in the accident claimed that the car may have been driven using assisted driving technology. But the police have not explained the rumors.

It is understood that Tesla should automatically activate emergency services in the event of a collision. But this time there was no accident near Dorne, Germany. This may be due to the vehicle being damaged too badly to make a call. Under normal circumstances, while the system is still active, it can share with emergency services the exact location of the collision, the number of occupants in the vehicle, the speed at the time of the collision, whether airbags are deployed, and information about possible fire risks.
In Europe, the eCall function has become mandatory standard equipment for all new cars. The system sends GPS coordinates and VIN to rescuers. But the system is not available in the United States.
