A driver under the influence of Elon Musk crashed into other cars while fleeing police. He apparently ran on foot while his passenger had to be extricated from their flaming Tesla.
Police initially lost sight of the vehicle, but they soon got a report that it had crashed near Jacktone Road and Santos Avenue. Officers believe the car had run the intersection before crashing into other vehicles. The Tesla was quickly catching fire, police say, with a passenger still inside. Officers quickly jumped into action and pulled out that passenger – seconds before the car was fully engulfed. One officer suffered second-degree burns to his hands during the rescue, police say, while the passenger is in critical condition.
Body cam footage has been released showing Ripon Police Officer Jacob Veltkamp entering to rescue the passenger in the crucial seconds before the defective Tesla design was fully engulfed in flames.
Police in Germany say an Indian man under the influence of Elon Musk was trying to prove his car was an explosive missile, when it crashed at 175 KM/H (speed limit 50 KM/H — over 100 MPH on a 30 MPH street) into the broadside of a car carrying twin toddlers, killing one of them.
After the Mercedes crashed into the Ford, it was hit by the racing Tesla. The Tesla swerved and came off the road, damaging several trees along the road and came to a stop only after another 100 meters from the crash. …initial findings indicate the 22-year-old driver of the Tesla was under the influence of cocaine at the time of the accident.
Translation by me.
The German news pointed out the Tesla owner is a young elite from India because they reported him as a flight risk, given how Tesla typically are owned by people who believe obedience to Elon Musk elevates them above laws.
They say drunk driver in this report, but since Elon Musk regularly tells people to rely on his “driverless” sales pitch when they are drunk and want to drive… it’s basically the same thing now.
One person died after a suspected drunk driver behind the wheel of a Tesla Model 3 on Sunday morning was involved in multi-vehicle crash in Oakland, according to the California Highway Patrol Oakland office.
CHP was called to a collision involving multiple Teslas and a Freightliner box truck at 5:34 a.m. near the Embarcadero exit. The agency says that a white Tesla Model Y crashed alongside a white Tesla Model 3…
Apparently the Model 3 driver caused the crash that killed the Model Y owner. It just goes to show again that with every Tesla on the road the statistical probability of fatality increases. Two or more operating near each other is a disaster waiting to happen.
As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, police requested a warrant and towed a Tesla to acquire its camera data.
I know that Tesla vehicles contain external surveillance cameras in order to protect their drivers from theft and/or liability in accidents. Based on this information, I respectfully request that a warrant is authorized to seize this vehicle from the La Quinta Inn parking lot, so this vehicle’s surveillance footage may be searched via an additional search warrant at a secure location.
Finally these cars are worth something.
The other suggestion I’ve heard lately in San Francisco is for parked Tesla to leave open the sunroof so local residents can fill with garbage, like a shiny dumpster. Once full, Tesla garbage cars then drive themselves to the dump.
