Either a Tesla or a Lotus.....both use pretty much the same body.

It looks like the Prius ran into the Tesla that went under the SUV which landed on top of the Tesla.

Ha, look at the can of fix-a-flat.
Also noticed the tires on the Tesla are bald (track tires?) maybe that was the problem?

Could this be staged or is there a story to go along with it? The debris is strewn too evenly and it all stops within a few feet of the cars. Not to mention the perfect positioning of the VW.

I think the pirus slammed into the tesla, then tesla pushed the back of toureg, but tesla's too low and toureg's too high, thus the toureg was pushed in top of the tesla... and the debris may be due to tesla's trunk is at the very back, thus the debris came out from there.

you'll notice peice of tesla stuck on toureg's rear bumper and rear bumper of toureg's cracked open, yet there's no damage to its side.

The VW plate looks like it happened in Europe.
