The two electric vehicles are colliding

Like the fate of drivers, the reasons for the collision have not been revealed. The Tesla Model has damage only at the level of the bumper and the rear. As for the front of the Xiaomi SU7, it is completely destroyed. Except that contrary to what some Tesla fans explain, the difference in damage has a technical explanation.

The Xiaomi SU7 is equipped with an armored cage which protects the occupants. Its front is a programmed deformation area, designed to crash during a collision. The mechanism increases the time necessary to stop, which reduces the impact force by protecting the passengers.

As for the Tesla Model Y, the limited damage of the photos corresponds to the level of security well rated by several organizations. If nothing was shared on the fate of the occupants, the level of protection of the two electric vehicles probably minimized the injuries during the collision.
