The whole FB post:
... guys this is it. The road trip is over. I'm sorry.
Vehicle was engaged on Autopilot at 120 km/h. Car suddenly veered right without warning and crashed into the centre median (edit: divider at the exit fork). Both wheels (edit: one wheel) completely shattered, my door wouldn't even open correctly. I'm unharmed.
Update 00:29 - policeman responding on scene is a fan of the Model 3, go figure. I'm just stating the facts in my post. My insurance is third-party only, which means I will receive no compensation for this collision. I am now calling a tow truck driver who will tow the car to Thessaloniki as it is not drivable. I will make further plans, most likely to repatriate the car back to San Francisco from there. I'm trying to stay positive guys, I'm so lucky to have had this opportunity to represent the EV community and movement, and so unlucky to have had this happen to me after driving without an issue through 25 countries.
Update 02:47 - thank you very much to the local police for their help. The vehicle has been towed to a secure yard. Like I said in the previous update, it will be towed to Thessaloniki in the morning. Further arrangements about the car will be made there. The police also drove me to a local hotel (where I am now). My left hand was grasping the bottom of the wheel immediately before the collision. The vehicle jerked to the right (seemingly in an attempt to take the exit) with great strength and did so very suddenly, which was the immediate cause of the collision of the front left of the car with the divider. I have prepared a draft statement regarding the incident and will release it in the morning after I have had a chance to sleep and calm down. I am again disgusted by the various negative comments and personal attacks that have surfaced on the various Tesla Facebook groups, including suggestions that I am bringing the car back to the US to commit insurance fraud by pretending the collision happened there. Other comments suggest that this is not a big loss for me as I'm rich and that I've made enough money on this trip to pay for the entire car. This trip has been about seeing the world, meeting people along the way, and giving them the opportunity to see and experience this beautiful car. I understand the critics saying that at times that's not what this trip has appeared to be, but at the end of the day the trip must be taken and judged as a whole - a trip that I continue to stand by and am proud of.
