Does anyone know why that dude in LA jumped his Tesla?

Tyga11 · 03-20-2022, 08:21 PM

I just saw the video and literally have no idea what he was thinking? Lol

Probably got his M4 X-drive allocation, so he crashed his slow ass Tesla? Lol. Just kidding

PYE46M3 · 03-20-2022, 09:26 PM

He couldn't afford the gas prices to fill it up

Topcarbon · 03-20-2022, 09:46 PM

Im shocked

Minacious · 03-20-2022, 09:54 PM

YouTube clicks and views?

To look cool in front of his peers?

Just not very bright?

A lot of eyes are on him now, so I hope it was worth it.

Probably running shine.

It's for social media. I'm hearing rumors it was Alex Choi. He's notorious in the LA car scene for being a spoiled entitled brat. Until these social media platforms stop incentivizing people financially to do crazy stuff for more views/followers, this stuff will continue.

IG, TikTok, Facebook etc. are a cancer to society.

I read it was a rental, too; no details beyond that. Evidently the car was abandoned and LA's finest are looking for the driver. Seems this is currently being viewed as a hit & run since two cars were hit as a result of the stunt.

Call Elon. Tesla knows where everyone of its car's are at all times… Teslas are chock full of ET-Phone-Home devices. Owning one of them is like waiving your 5th amendment rights..

It's actually pretty close to my area, but LAPD covers Echo Park.

RugbyBro · 03-21-2022, 04:27 PM

Hate to give this dude views but start at 1:58. Sedan_Clan does any of this make him a party to the crime?

It was from Choi's channel, and happened on a drive he set up, but he wasnt the one driving. The full video shows he was on the side recording. There's also an angle from his own dashcam from the side. Apparently someone wanted to show him the place where Dobrik jumped his model Y. And just didnt understand physics at all

Young people have been doing this since the dawn of the automobile. It's just better documented now that there's an incentive and easy technology to do so. Used to just be a "hold my beer" moment.
