Back in July Tesla Roadster #6 got into an accident right after the owner had taken the delivery. The car had minor damages and was very likely repaired soon after.

Only 60 Tesla Roadsters have been delivered to their owners so far. What we have here is another Tesla Roadster, that got into an accident in southern France on October 29th, when the sales director took the car into a turn at 100 kilometers per hour. The road was wet with a very bad visibility.

This accident looks to be a good PR for Tesla as the sales director only received a broken hand and some bruises, the passenger who was rejected from the car also survived and was recently released from the hospital.

No fire took place and the carbon-fiber body looks to be in a quit good condition considering the car was doing 100 kph before the accident. Accidents are surely bad, but this one proves that electric cars can be as safe as gasoline or diesel powered cars.
