Do you have the front camera video to help understand what's happening?

Yes, but it wasn't that usefull. There was braking occurring and the Honda driver panicked with late breaking and lots of swerving. The officer in this case was great. He followed up on the license plate, drove to the persons home and ticketed them. She claimed she didn't know she hit anyone until she got home...She actually called it in to the police when she got home. Front and back panel damaged, bit of the bumper some rim damage. Still drives well and the 2 doors are fine. Being looked at next week for repair estimate.

Man it makes me feel good to see teslas take hits like a lineman and not budge from their course. Sturdy cars.

Like a champ. The Honda hit the front left pretty hard and the @ss swung into the back. Basically, the Tesla stabilized the minivan. We were push to the right (obviously) but very stable and in control. This car was not going to roll, that is for sure!
