Weird looking crash. Not the first time Randy Pobst got a car airborne at Pikes Peak either.
Best YT thumbnail ever?

As much as I am a fan of EVs, the battery packs still need to get lighter for handling to be on par with internal combustion vehicles. I imagine carrying that much weight at speed into a corner - one loss of traction, and that momentum is going to keep you pointed in the wrong direction.

Poor Randy. He's not pleased with himself.

The first time was a bit more dramatic.
I remember that was when MoterTrend was still just on youtube and they didn’t mention anything about the crash in the title of the video, so when it happened it caught you off guard. I remember it scared the crap out of me!

That said, gas cars are heavy AF nowadays too. and if they weigh the same, the EV will have a way lower CG.
