I rolled over at 65 MPH in a Nissan Versa and it almost looked saleable afterward. Mostly front-end damage.

I did the same (about 60mph, clipped a tree in a curve and rolled) in a Honda Fit, and left myself upside down. None of the windows broke, the doors still opened and closed, and the car looked almost fine except for some damage on the front end. Of course it wasn't actually fine, but still, I was impressed.

I don't think this is really unique to Teslas at all.
