Israeli man says he probably wouldn't be alive today if he hadn't been behind the wheel of his Tesla Model 3 Performance that helped him escape the attack.
The owner of a Tesla Model 3 Performance from Mefalsim, Israel, escaped alive from a shocking attack by Hamas fighters, and it was mostly thanks to his car, according to a report from Israeli news outlet Walla. Minutes after Hamas forces invaded the Otaf settlements from the nearby Gaza Strip, a man described in the report only as C., a resident of Kibbutz Mefalsim, was called with the settlement's emergency squad.
Even though the Tesla's tires were flattened, the driver said the Model 3 Performance dual-motor AWD system managed to keep the car on the road. He realized he was seriously wounded, so he pushed the accelerator to reach the hospital, reaching speeds of up to 112 miles per hour. Fortunately for him, the diesel truck – a Toyota Hilux or Isuzu D-Max, according to what he recalls – wasn't able to keep up with the Tesla, and he managed to get away.
