This part is wild to me:

    > Subject vehicle (Tesla) pre-crash speed: 4 mph
If true, how could the driver of the other car have been killed?

I've had a pretty wild ride from being hit at probably less than that speed.

I'm sure you've seen video of the police performing a PIT maneuver. That's basically what happened to me--tapped by a car starting from a stop sign. They got a scrape, I got totaled. And, yes, it works as advertised--totally confusing, my foot somehow found the brake but I have no recall of doing so.

And all 4 Tesla occupants were injured. Something doesn't add up.

2-way stop and the other guy hit the Tesla at 40-60 no seatbelt?

That would track with the injuries in the Tesla as well.

Gotta come up with the energy somehow. If the Tesla doesn't have it the other car needs to.
