A San Francisco man who was arrested for riding in the back seat of his Tesla as it drove on the highway says he'll keep pulling the stunt after being released from jail — and he'll keep buying more cars as they get impounded.

After getting booked on two counts of reckless driving, Param Sharma arrived for a Wednesday interview with the Bay Area news station KTVU riding in the back seat of a Tesla again. But it wasn't the same car that California Highway Patrol pulled him over in.

The day after being released from jail on Tuesday, he told the channel, Sharma bought a new Tesla Model 3 because the other was impounded. Also, he is "very rich," he told KTVU.

"I have unlimited money to blow on Teslas. If you take away my Tesla, I will get another Tesla. That's how it works," Sharma said.

So cocky Sharma should be thrown into jail until the rich man comes to his senses.

This guy is about to discover that judges have a great sense of humor when it comes to these types of displays.

I'm not an expert on California motor laws but I think if Mr. Param Sharma continues to get arrested for not operating the vehicle legally he will get his license suspended then if he keeps doing it he'll get his liberty suspended. There's more rich people in jail than you might first suspect. Especially the ones that flaunt their no fcks given game cards.

Sedan_Clan what can realistically be done to stop dudes like this?

With his "unlimited" income, how expensive could a chauffeur be?

Also, people with “unlimited” incomes typically aren’t buying the model 3. Call me crazy, but this guy might be lying.

According to what he said on video he will call Elon musk to 'eradicate' licenses if he loses his.

This guy is a serious fuckin clown. I don't know if he's legit being serious on his IG or if he's trolling.... either way, this guy needs his ass beat.

Sedan_Clan you see this shit? What would you do if you pulled this moron over?

That is my thought. Hey, money bags, buy a Mercedes Maybach and hire a driver. Stop being a douchenozzle.

Human garbage.

Fly320s · 05-14-2021, 06:29 PM

I have a Model 3. I had no idea I could sit in the backseat and get the car to drive. I wonder how he did it.

You need to have the "Full self-driving auto pilot package", it's a 10k option on the model 3.

You're not supposed to 100% rely on it like this idiot does though.
