Jun: You are driving it wrong. We made it as light as possible, so don't crash.

They're just not crash compatible. This happens whenever the bumper heights of two cars don't align.

This is especially prevalent with the ever increasing heights of SUVs.

Heh, Chinese and their tofu industry, not a fan of Tesla either, Musk can f off. It pains me to see that there are still ppl so naive about China and their produce.

We shouldn't be letting Xiomi off the hook this easily, especially since they are a new entry to the automotive space.
It's clear from the damage that the Chinese are still falling back on their old playbook of building cheap products at cheap prices. There is no way that a bumper basher type accident like this should cause such levels of damage as the Xiomi demonstrates. This was a 30kmh accident. Imagine the Xiomi had the accident occurred at, say, 60kmh. There would be very little left of the car (and its driver), and 60kmh is a slow speed!
Articles like this help warn the prospective car buyer before he buys the car. Thanks!

For those noobs out there, if EV cars totaled, they can't be salvaged unlike ICE cars. So SU7 is no longer fixable

As noted already, the visible damage may look terrible, what actually matters is how it effectively absorbs shocks in order to safeguard the lives of humans inside the vehicle rather than the post-accident auto repair bill/insurance claim.

Obviously, the front end is designed to absorbe the momentum of collision and divert energy to deformation thus protecting the reinforced passenger compartment!
Therefore if the front will apear intact it would be much worse!
The rear end of this Tesla is probably made of alluminium casting and the real damage could be seen inside, the external appearance might be misleading.
It is important to note that the major goal is protection of passengers (and pedestrians) and this was not investigated!

Just another desperate attempt by Tesla simps to try and score points in an accident scenario where there are opposite ends of two vehicles involved in a collision. Try reversing the accident scenario and see how the Tesla crumple zone reacts.

I would suspect the model Y would be TOTALED due to battery damage from the mimimum crash

You are comparing the solid rear bumper vs crimple zone collision.....of course the front end will crumple. Same would happen if the cars were reversed...

It is hard to tell from the pictures but if the rear quarter panels on the Model Y buckled then it might be a write off. Many have lamented on how body damage on aluminum Teslas is super expensive to fix. If rear quarter panels need to be replaced then it will cost a third of the original car price in the US. If the rear gigacast frame is impacted then it is a writeoff.
TLDR: Xiaomi might still be fixable and the Tesla might be a write-off.

Well, I am not an expert but my old Corolla was once hit by a Honda Pilot from the rear, and my bumper only had minimal damage while the Honda front looked crushed like the picture. I think it's normal for the front of the car to be designed like that to protect the driver.

This isn't a fair comparison, let me know when you see a crash where they hit head on

that Xiaomi gets its front completely redesigned while Tesla suffers hardly a scratch. Is that Xiaomi made of cardboard or what? a car should look like this after hitting a wall going at least 60km/h. so either driver in that Xiaomi was seriously speeding or Tesla is as hard as wall.

Tesla wins xd
