Whilst the damage is bad, the Tesla probably looks worse than it would have originally because the first responders would have cut the roof off to free the driver.

from what I've read on this. and by looking at the damage, i don't think the first reponders had to touch the roof to get the driver out. as i think it went under the trailer opening the car like a tin of baked beans.

Looking at the photo the semi does seem to have the safety under run barrier on the trailer designed to stop exactly that type of thing.

I can't remember if they're required here (and can't remember seeing any) but they have been mandatory in Europe since 1980. I've never been sure if they'd stop a car at 110km/h though.

More bad news for Tesla.
I have a feeling there may be a Darwin award here some where.

The real question is what would the accident rate be like when all vehicles are self-driving and they can't do the unexpected with each other
There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

I see two possibilities.
1-Insurance industry lobby's to ban Self driving cars because it will do them out of a job
2-those without self driving cars can drive like complete hoons because the self driving cars will avoid us
