The wreckage is being pulled up with a crane. I am not sure of the current status.

A common Coastal CA thing is bald tires... maybe the family could afford the status symbol of a Tesla, but couldn't afford to buy new tires, so it's safer in the rainy weather we have been having... and add speed to it.
look at the last picture, the tires look pretty good /
Tires are good, but may be performance rubber and not so good on wet pavement. With the black door handles, that is a newer car; older cars had chrome. Plus, that car is likely AWD making it pretty stable. This was a case of an idiot driving dangerously and paying the price. He is lucky the car did whatever it did to save the lives of that family.
He was probably just trying to adjust the fan speed and had to go through 6 steps on the touch screen at the wrong point in the drive.
I’ve driven more than 1,000 miles in Teslas — and I’ll never buy one
Teslas may be popular, but they're one of the last electric cars I'd buy

This is not time for a Tesla joke. Plus, the fan is adjusted with a voice command; there is no need to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road.He was probably just trying to adjust the fan speed and had to go through 6 steps on the touch screen at the wrong point in the drive.

Even if the driver was messing with whatever, he picked a stupid time and place to do it.
This was excessive speed.

Where do you come up with this nonsense? It's a common thing in Madison County, Iowa for pickup trucks to have non-working turn signals ...
Yeah but not all Camrys have all of the front end parts in decent shape and are equipped with decent tires. Your average neglected Camry with a hundred and twenty thousand miles on it and cheap tires that don't match and one or two of them not worthy of
passing inspection, that a lot of people who are struggling financially to just get by drive on the road nowadays won't even come close to pulling the kind of G's something with good front end parts a proper alignment and good tires that are properly inflated can pull even if it is not a super car.
By the way just because everybody in the vehicle survived the accident doesn't mean that some of them may not have physical problems for the rest of their life from the damage they incurred. I haven't seen anything stating that one way or the other but that is something that is often neglected when they talk about people surviving a bad accident.
The info is sketchy but apparently the children were in good shape. The parents were air lifted out but did not have life threatening injuries. Let's hope this is accurate and they come out OK
It’s actually true. Why do you think when it rains there is so many accidents? Even after the initial asphalt oil rise to the surface. But the oils theory don’t apply to concrete highway
Even Elon puts cheap no name tires on security Teslas
Where are the anti EV cry babies from BITOG?.
Glad it worked out.

I may dislike the interior, but that held up extremely well and did a great job keeping the occupants safe. That matters.
Autopilot?
I did not appreciate the posts suggesting the possibility this horrible accident was intensional. Unfortunately, they may be accurate. From the CHP - San Francisco:
"CHP investigators worked throughout the night interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence from the scene. Based on the evidence collected, investigators developed probable cause to believe this incident was an intentional act. The driver of the Tesla, [I removed name], of Pasadena, California, has been placed under arrest for attempted murder and child abuse. There has been no determination as to what driving mode the Tesla was in; however, that does not appear to be a contributing factor in this incident. Mr. [removed] is being treated for his injuries and will be booked into San Mateo County Jail upon his release from the hospital. This remains an ongoing investigation and no further information is being released at this time"
Unbelievable. Insanity.
