## Caption

😳 A Tesla Model S Plaid crashed on Germany’s Autobahn after reaching roughly 286 km/h, or 178 mph, moments before the driver lost control.
⠀
The driver says one of the rear Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tires suffered a tread failure, sending the Plaid into a violent high-speed crash.
⠀
Those 305/30ZR21 rear tires were part of a 2026 Goodyear safety recall covering specific production batches because of a potential tread-separation defect.
⠀
According to the uploader, the driver was already aware of the recall before making the high-speed run, although the exact cause of the crash has not been independently established.
⠀
Despite the severity of the wreck and the car being almost completely destroyed, the driver survived and later said he expected his recovery to take several months.
⠀
Would you ever attempt speeds like this on an unrestricted Autobahn?
