Possibly a testament to the Tesla’s strength and safety and its ability to protect its occupants from a horrific situation.
it is unclear to me what happened to the rear seats. Do you think if there were someone in those seats they would be OK?
At about 1:08 it appears to show the rear seats are there and it kind of looks like the middle and left are okay but the right rear is leaned forward. They didn't split off with the rear of the vehicle.
Just an insane crash all the way around. Glad that (apparently) nobody was badly injured.

Right, I saw the seats too, but assumed s-t meant what the conditions might have been like in the rear of the passenger compartment.

Nissan GTR.

Interestingly that’s a Model X. So it has a third row.. The missing section includes the third row. I can’t imagine the fate of anyone if they happened to be in the third row (in this instance there was no one) and something similar happened.

There are crumple zones to dissipate energy but this is total loss of cabin integrity. This would be bad for any car. It is amazing that people are walking around with the amount of energy in this crash.
The main issue with this video was not the length but being shot vertically.

The worse part of that video is all the lookie loos -- wish I was a cop there so I could start threatening everyone with loitering tickets.

Most likely the Mustang lost control and jumped the curb and hit the Tesla going the opposite direction.

Epic Driver fails aka ya can't fix Stupid.
Not saying that I have never fishy fishied before but I never hit more than a curb.
Okay there was a black ice bridge on the interstate that got me going in the wrong direction.
My point is, turning the steering wheel is not going to fix your traction problem.
