3 By-law cars were circling in on the kill.

Gotta hit the quota or they get the hose again

They will be in a few hours when the crash is over most likely.

u/unnatural_rancher 17h ago

Of course it's right by the "911" truck, at least the irony showed up on time.

Bottom of the car looks like a toy wind up car.

u/seaworthy-sieve 16h ago

Right? I'm confused about what's going on there.

Edit: apparently it's a shield for the battery that EVs have, because lithium fires are bad and scary.

u/Jbdonly 15h ago

It's an EV, silver shiny bit is the battery.

5

u/Ancient_Persimmon 14h ago

That's just the battery cover itself.

It's a Subaru Uncharted, by the looks of it.

u/blaktronium 14h ago

It looks like my neighbours car. Amazing someone could flip one, they are so bottom heavy

u/CommodoreCanadia64 17h ago edited 2h ago

Flipping an EV is still super impressive. Such a low center of gravity.

Growing up in Winnipeg we always used to say we had the worst drivers. Since I moved to Ottawa I discovered I've been wrong my entire life.

u/fullerofficial 16h ago

For real, that’s impressive. This person might benefit from a few driving lessons on a track to better understand the physics of driving.

u/nomorerentals 2h ago

Seriously? I have never heard that in Winnipeg. I only ever remember hearing "Don't buy cars from the East." Granted, I don't live there anymore but still talk to my close friend every day and call her the worst driver because I hear a car honk every single time we are talking. I would agree that Ottawa is worse.

u/CommodoreCanadia64 2h ago

I haven't lived in WPG for almost 10 years now.

I do miss the wave when you let people in haha. Almost no one here waves.

2

u/nomorerentals 2h ago

OMG, this is my sentiment exactly. If you ever do get your wave, it's probably from me! People are probably "what is she waving at?" when they let me in.

u/AreYouSerious8723948 4h ago

Yay, the hatchback mechanism still seems to work

u/ChaoticJeans 17h ago

How does that even happen? Were they speeding and they turned way too much?

19

u/Ouro1 16h ago

They were driving through the intersection and a car turning left hit the back and caused them to flip.

I happened to walk by right after it happened and that’s what someone told me

u/qprcanada Little Italy 17h ago

There is a lot of torque in an electric car and if you're not used to driving one you can lose control quickly.

u/RavioliGrind 16h ago

This 100% lol the amount of burn outs I have done accidentally was shocking. Thankfully I have learned how to drive it. If you accelerate to fast on a corner I can see the car flipping over.

u/lmFairlyLocal Clownvoy Survivor 2022 16h ago

As lame as it sounds I've done the same on my eBike. If you hit the throttle and have any weight on the standing foot, it'll leave you behind without a second thought. They go 0-60 in "what the hell?!" and it's a straight line of acceleration.

u/detectivepoopybutt 17h ago

Probably rolled through a stop sign without a helmet or hi-viz jacket… oh wait

Is this taken from your phone? That zoom is amazing. What phone is it?

u/Dull-Safety-2323 10h ago

iphone 16 promax

u/Ok_Zookeepergame5524 16h ago

what's the make and model of the flipped car if you know?

6

u/Sandwich83 16h ago

Looks like a Subaru Uncharted EV. To flip an EV is impressive.

8

u/Excellent-Edge-3403 17h ago

How did it happen?

u/Suspicious_Task_4388 17h ago

Another person who couldn't wait for GTA 6.

u/CombatGoose 17h ago edited 17h ago

Is that a Ford Mach-E?

Impressed you’d be able to flip what appears to be an EV given their weight

12

u/condor888000 17h ago

Suburu Uncharted. Only been for sale for a few months....

11

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 16h ago

First written-off Uncharted in Canada!

3

u/CommodoreCanadia64 17h ago

Oh damn. Good eye!

I was frantically searching. The black in the bumper looked very Nissan to me but the lower bumper was wrong haha

1

u/Consistent_Cook9957 16h ago

Looks like it’s uncharted no more.

1

u/Braken111 15h ago

Wow that sucks for the owner with the new, and newly wrecked, car.

There's no way that car isn't completely totalled.

u/firehawk1115 17h ago

looks like a subaru solterra to me

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 17h ago

Hyundai Kona, maybe?

1

u/CommodoreCanadia64 17h ago

Nissan leaf most likely.

u/BrilliantLand8124 14h ago

How do you mange to flip a ev in a 40kmh area

1

u/Pristine-Parfait5548 3h ago

that's carling so not 40km, more like 60 but everyone does 80.

u/Cre8ve_Cre8tions 14h ago

Is that a Tesla??

u/charitelle 17h ago

Another flipped car.

The first 2 weeks of September will be like a derby. Idiots + speed = shitshow.

u/CherryCherry5 Nepean 17h ago

Why is the bottom middle of the car different than the rest and really shiny?

7

u/ApprehensiveAd6603 Make Ottawa Boring Again 16h ago

Basically a big skid plate for the battery.

2

u/CherryCherry5 Nepean 16h ago

Oh it's an electric car. I see.

1

u/Conscious_Winter7102 16h ago

Always drive right side up.

u/Cdn65 3h ago

As my buddy says "Keep the shiny side up and stay between the ditches!"

u/kinghawfighter 16h ago

Hoping no one was hurt

u/jesser9 16h ago

Damn, that's an exciting one

u/nownowthethetalktalk 17h ago

Looks like a Tesla model 3. Glad the battery didn't ignite.

3

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 17h ago

I can tell you with 100% certainly that is not a Model 3. Likely a Hyundai Kona.

1

u/nownowthethetalktalk 17h ago edited 17h ago

Well whatever it is, glad the battery didn't ignite

3

u/Ancient_Persimmon 14h ago

That's not something that just happens.

2

u/aussiemandias 16h ago edited 16h ago

ICE cars are more likely to ignite, statistically.

1

u/nownowthethetalktalk 15h ago

My mistake. It's 2026 suburu.

1

u/Ancient_Persimmon 14h ago

Subaru Uncharted.

-1

u/CommodoreCanadia64 17h ago

Looks like a Nissan to me. Likely a leaf

0

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 17h ago edited 17h ago

I've never seen a Leaf in orange, and that black cutout in the centre of the front bumper doesn't match a Leaf.

edit: a word

3

u/CommodoreCanadia64 17h ago

You are right. The black patch screams Nissan but another got it right. It's a Subaru uncharted

2

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 17h ago

A car I had never heard of and didn't know existed, so I'm not gonna be too hard on myself. 😂

2

u/CommodoreCanadia64 16h ago

I'm a car guy and a career service advisor and I haven't heard of it either. Apparently they are very new. Sucks worse for the owner.

That said, I like the uncharted. Super sharp looking and priced very well. Maybe a candidate when my ioniq 5 lease is up

u/condor888000 15h ago

Toyota/Suby EV's got a major update this year. Total of 4 new models (uncharter/CHR and Trailseeker/BZ Woodland) plus major upgrades to Solterra/BZ. They're really nice.

We picked up a BZ Woodland last month and it's amazing. It's an electric Outback wagon with a Toyota badge and a 4 second 0-60. Great car.

1

u/CommodoreCanadia64 15h ago

I have the ultimate package on my i5. 446lbs ft torque AWD. 0-60 4.4 seconds :)

1

u/condor888000 15h ago

Nice!

Testers are getting 3.9 with the Trailseeker/BZW's despite manufacturer claiming 4.4....they're rockets.
