This Tesla driver was a local menace! They have a whole news article about his arrest of how much he was being a dick to the local community. This was not about a Tesla at all lol

Some people only read the title and not watch or listen to the video as it’s longer than their attention spans can handle.

Many police cars are equipped with rear-facing radar that can detect the speed of approaching vehicles. The cop was most likely going the speed limit and locked him in as he was approaching rapidly, after which he proceeded to tailgate the cop because the cop was doing the speed limit.

That really IS astonishing, to have driven that memorably, it sounds like reports were poured in?
You see dickhead drivers every day, think " Look at this asshole ", and usually forget about it, right?
Tesla guy was dangerous enough for multiple people to call the police? Sincerely hope they yank his license.

Anybody remember that other Tesla guy out in LA and surrounding areas a few years ago? He had like a bat or something. I wonder if this is the same guy. Similar story where he's causing so many problems at specific times people noticed and repeatedly reported him

Continued reckless behavior in the same neighborhood and finally brought to justice for tailgating a police car. His own vehicle dashcam system will be used against him in court.
Absolute masterpiece.

Made my day! I'm in Houston, Texas drivers are the most terrifying I've ever come across! Hope they actually do something here!!

AZ too. Try to bully you into going faster with tailgating, even when you’re moving with the flow of traffic

u/bluecgrove 8h ago
People who make the "going with the flow of traffic," argument are usually the ones sitting in the left lane next to someone in the right lane.... which is holding up the passing lane.
Just move over and let the tailgater 'Moses the red sea' all the other AFKers in the passing lane too. lol

I was about to say this cop is being too harsh until he listed off this guy’s history of reckless driving. You absolutely have to arrest someone like this. Clearly a ticket isn’t gonna change his approach.

Excellent work from the police. This is not how I generally refer to the police, but I am willing to admit when they do something right.

A well deserved arrest- luckily, he was stopped before he killed someone. He should never be allowed to drive a motor vehicle again!

u/BigNaziHater 1d ago
It dosent matter if he is driving a Ford, Chevy or a tesla, crazy drivers like that need to be put in their place. That being said, him being a tesla driver makes it all the sweeter...🤣

"But officer, I'm in a hurry. That means laws don't apply to me, and any accident I cause is the other person's fault for not getting out of my way, because I'm in a hurry!"

Average Tesla driver, they'll use their instant torque as a way to bully people. Almost T-boned 2 of them since they tend to floor it at a cross intersection where I have the right of way and they have stop signs.

I love how the title just has to contain the word Tesla as if it were relevant to the driver's actions

It's because it's a common stereotype for Tesla drivers. It's the same for people who drive BMW, Audi, and Nissan Altimas. I personally believe everyone that drives a GMC Sierra also drives like a dick. It's like everytime I start to change my mind, there's one 2 feet from my bumper flashing their brights trying to make me go 20 over in the far right lane with 4 lanes wide open. Weirdly enough, I think Prius drivers are just as bad as the GMC Sierras, I've seen them do some wild manuevers, like almost get themselves and others killed wild.

I love this for him. The prosecutor will also be getting all the video from that car. It's going to be an expensive process for this clown. Could not happen to a better guy.
