Despite winning numerous safety awards around the world and being the safest car in the world, many [uninformed] people still question the safety of Tesla’s all-glass roof on the Model 3. A multi-vehicle accident that happened Sunday in China is yet another example of just how strong the roof actually is.
Based on photos posted to Twitter by T☰SLA mania, the crash involved what appears to be a red Performance Model 3 being hit from several angles. In the aftermath of the accident, a Toyota Rav-4, which weighs well over 3,000lbs, can be seen sitting on the roof the Model 3. According to witnesses at the scene, the driver of the Model 3 was able to walk away from the accident, apparently unharmed.
The accident showcases just how safe the Model 3 is in that the cabin of the vehicle appears to be entirely intact, with the glass roof still supporting the weight of the Rav-4.
We saw another example earlier this year when a concrete pole fell directly onto the glass roof of a Model 3, but the driver and his young child were unharmed in the accident, which was all caught on the TeslaCam.

BTW this serious accident happened in Guangdong China.
Thanks to the hard work and brilliant design of @Tesla and @elonmusk, the Tesla driver seemed to have walked right out of the Model 3 unharmed. pic.twitter.com/xkQxOoao8G
