Teslacam Stories is a series of Tesla owners real experiences told by the Tesla Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos. All incidents are recorded from Tesla vehicles and submitted to this channel by other Tesla enthusiast. I contact each person who send me their videos to talk with them and learn more about their story and to follow up what happened after what we see on their video. Voice over and captions are added to describe what happened, and why. I believe that this additional information regarding the incident gives the videos a newsworthy value.
From the footage and additional information, a viewer can learn the consequences of bad driving and can educate his/her self with better driving safety. This process also gives the videos a great educational value. It is my desire to add my own unique and creative value in a transformative way to ensure you enjoy and learn from the videos being presented.

My dad got his car keyed in a parking lot. When he went into Bestbuy to ask if they’d let him see the security footage, they denied his request. That’s one thing that Tesla did right, having security cameras on the car itself.
If the damage was great enough, he may want to retain a lawyer who would probably be able to get that security footage. Another way, is to file a police report, but that depends on how aggressive the local police are on these things.
As a former retail employee I can regretfully confirm this. Unfortunately, retail business policies usually prevent employees from sharing video footage unless Police are called. To do so otherwise could result in termination depending on the company.
Yeh, stores are useless when it comes to getting any help from them
@@kckwlrjjrr if you get a lawyer, the lawyer can get an order to compel them to turn over any video. However, that’s pretty expensive.
If it’s above your deductible, you can file a claim with your insurance company and they may decide to hire a lawyer. However, if you’re gonna go that route, be sure to get a police report. It helps a lot.
@@SeanPat1001 oh of course, I'm talking about without having to go through all of that, the stores are useless.
They act offended when you try and ask them for help
For once , a scratcher got what he DESERVED . this is very relaxing 🤗🤗
Yes
Yea
Yep 👍
"...Hope you're satisfied!" 😂
My mother's door "knifer" got arrested and had to pay. We pressed charges. Turns out she was the receptionist at an Aspen Dental near where mom works and the manager of Aspen reached out to my mom to say that his car had been keyed too but he couldn't be sure it was the receptionist.
I work in a body shop. When you key a car, it usually digs deep enough to disturb the primer. That means all along the length of the scratch i have to grind away all the paint and primer down to the bare metal. Then prime and paint. It is so much damage.
I’m so glad you caught him and pursued charges. This guy is a serious asshole and deserves some time in the clink.
damaging someone else’s property is never acceptable
Unless it’s a car owned by Elons company then damage as much as you want
@@owaine-changaming lol try it on mine, you might get shot...but feel free
i never understood the mindset of destroying a strangers property, so bizarre
@@bbtyeahright jealous people everywhere
@@bbtyeahright well a few reasons because there jealous. They hate Elon musk. Or they hate telsa. And alot of people hate Elon musk and Tesla. Have you seen the stocks of Tesla. Tesla almost went bankrupt 3 times.
1:43 I dont think anybody has noticed this but look at the leading edge on the Cadillac's drivers door, its all bent in, he clearly makes a habit of door dinging HARD and keying other people's cars. I'm sure this guy will be linked to many more incidents like this.
@Inthe Flow what gave it away was when teslacam said he probably does it for fun I looked at his driver's door edge because that's exactly what someone who does it for fun car door would look like.
He was released within an hour with no bail. Non violent crime is not a crime in CA.
G👁👁D EyEs !❕️! 👌
@@joyjoy534 "crime is not a crime" 👌🙄
@@joyjoy534 California is a horrible place to live. If you don’t jail and prosecute people then they will continue doing the very same thing forever.
Wow. Just wow. So outstanding this guy got caught. How unfortunate that there are people like this that do this kind of senseless damage to others.
I feel sad for the car owners who didn't notice the keying immediately on their car, only to find out several days later and wondering WTF WHO DID THIS HAPPEN AND WHEN!? 😢
This man needs to pay a hefty fine, for the other 200 cars he keyed .
He needs to be sent to a North Korean style labour camp to pay for what he's done.
If this happened in another country he would have no hands left to key cars with!
he needsto seak the repair cost damage plus a little more to teach the guy a lesson
@@saiyamang5397 would be the best thing for him or shoot him be better again
He needs the death penalty
*Watching that guy being led away in handcuffs whiny/crying like a baby was a bit of satisfaction.* *I bet the cops were telling him to tell it to the Judge.*
My friend says it's the toughest looking guys that cry like a baby when the cuffs go on!
Lmao isn't this CA? The guy will be out without even having to pay bail or fine because what he committed is considered a non violent crime. Then he can just fck off and not even appear in court to continue his vandal fun time as he likes. If they catch him again, they will just release him once more. There are actual thieves who have been caught and released 3 times in the same frikin day lmao, and this guy is just a petty vandal. You really expect too much from CA justice system lol...
because he is a little jealous beech
@@isthatatesla7191 Yep
handcuffs*
Prosecutors and judges better hold him accountable! No $100 signature bonds, no dropping charges if he pleads guilty to only one of them, no dismissing charges because the court is backed up or any other bullshit!
This is california, where crime isn’t punished. They probably sent him home immediately with a Starbucks gift card.
@@trashyBagles He's the wrong race for that. We're hated now.
So sorry Leo. Thank God you had cameras.
Here's a tip from someone who's been a security guard for 15 years: Don't bother calling security. Just call the cops. Security has no special powers to do anything except document the incident for the client. The main job of security is to deter people from doing things because we are a witness. We have less rights than the average citizen. They wouldn't have been able to detain the guy. Security companies, for the most part, only want the guards to document because detaining can open a can of worms with liability. Plus, the cops tend to take their sweet ass time when a security guard calls them. They arrive quicker when the victim calls. Also, don't blame us when something happens. We can't be everywhere at the same time.
interesting to know
Respect, man!

Not the ones advertised for this front and back 🙄
Only shows how far Tesla is compared to traditional auto makers.
too sad it takes so much energy
Too bad cars cannot have an Auto Taser feature which activates while being keyed. 25,000 volts or more should do the trick. I'm sure Tesla's AI could determine deliberate vs accidental contact.
@@mikewurlitzer5217 I love that idea, imagine that like home security camera we livestream the cameras to the app, and then energise the car remotely.
If I caught him keying my "baby" 06 Honda Civic 188,000 miles, he would be picking up daisies 😂
I think you mean "pushing up daisies", or does the county have inmates pick up daisies as punishment?
4800 dollars for that job seems a scam. I can't understand the disproportionate gap between some car repairs and some others in the USA. (I'm Italian and have a vintage american car, I'm not being negative, I just would like to understand)
2:40 YES! It's so refreshing when people actually press charges!
For a minor issue like a light bump that will pop back and no serious thing at all, not even worth to press any charges, verbal warnings are suffice,
but when total cost of fixing +repainting in this case is over 40k then is a must otherwise victim must pay the repair of damages from it's pocket..
It always vexes me as to why would someone key somebody else’s car. There should special punishment for these type of individuals.
Jealousy, envy, lack of motivation to work and get your own stuff, plain stupidity, no life, no sex, the list can go on…

What's the matter with people? I used to have a really cool hotrod and everyone loved it. I found it abandoned in a field and in bad shape and took it and rebuilt it from the ground up and I will admit I had some help. It was super sharp when it was finished and was a super babe magnet for a shy kid that needed it at the time. One night, some punk came and kicked in the side 3 times and it broke my heart. I wound up selling the car and swearing I'd never have another great car until I had a garage where it could stay full time. People are jerks. I came from nothing and nowhere and finally had something going for me and somebody couldn't stand it.
I’m sorry, some ppl are hateful and when you are doing good it breeds jealousy
@@jacquelinevigil2951 Thanks, and you are right.
$4800? That’s preposterous!!!
I drive a car that cost me $3000…and it is a sexy car.
A dude like this in my town would’ve ended toothless and needing some “body work” himself by an Ortho doc. Glad he got caught. Way to go Tesla
Exaaaaaaaaaaaactly...
😄😄😄😄😄
he'd need a prosthodontist.... not an orthodontist..... welcome to dentures, that he pays for.
@@christopherpoulos5223 that too lol but I meant Ortho as in orthopedics 😏
KeyTF out of his car and see how he likes it.
I think if you're caught vandalizing someone's car not only should you do time and fines but your personal vehicle should be crushed.
😂
😂
They should make it so the victim can key any pattern or drawing into the offender's car, legally.
Seems excessive. IMO, should be a fine + restitution, unless it's a multiple or repeat offense. Crushing a person's car is completely uncalled for and morally wrong.
Should be sold and paying all the other vandalism victims
He should get a "Racketeering" charge which actually carries more weight and would allow the government to seize his body shop. This is definitely a Racketeering job.
Thankfully this kind if thing is rare here in Japan. I guess it probably happens once in a while, but never seen or heard of it happening. Here people have respect for other people and their property. I always try to park my car away from everyone one else, so as to not get a dent or scratch from others if they accidentally bump their door onto my car. Most are very careful, but the worst ones for this are mothers with small children. They tend to whack open the door as wide as possible to get access to their kids and in doing so bump the door. Or the kids open the door onto another car. I have seen that before, and in some cases the mothers say nothing to the kids.
But deliberate vandalism is rare here.
Wish every society had those values.
You don't have the uncivilized there.
That's cause Japan has a culture of respect.
USA has a culture selfishness.
The fact the guy stuck around to be arrested is even crazier than him keying the car
He didn't know he was being recorded. He thought he was getting away with it.
@@mick776goldHe *keyed* more than the *Tesla*, the jeep parked beside it was also *keyed*, and likely more cars were *keyed* before the guy was arrested
He wanted to gloat over what he had done. Wonder how he would feel if someone keyed his Cadillac.
He thought he could bluff his way out of the police. Overconfidence. And the thought is that "if I can convince the people you trust that i'm innocent, you'll be forced to leave me alone about it.... Except you know.... video evidence.
He was going to key more cars
What a demented fool! I'd like to know what the judge had to say about him. Pay the damages plus court costs and 30 days in jail.
Yep, fair punishment and restitution if you ask me.
paying the damages? these go far deeper than the repair bills this guy is a menace to human society.
@@twistedneck Ok other than damages, court costs and 30 days in jail, what did you have in mind? What about burn his entire family at the stake, or live cremation? You decide. :-)
Some DA's (super lefty, whatever) aren't even putting worse criminals in jail.
That's a crime in itself. People are dead because of this insanity.
@@serpentines6356 true
Old buddy of mine used to say about certain folks “Not too bright but can lift heavy weights”. A perfect example of stupid is to commit a crime and keep going back to the site of your crime. Amazingly that is how many criminals are caught … which also explains why they are criminals.
This scratcher didn't think he would ever get caught but he left his DNA, ignorance and stupidity out the window. Scratchers want recognition because that's the only thing they can get in life. They can't buy it they got to ruin it 😞
What possesses a person to want to vandalize another person's property.
Very happy to hear he was caught.
Did you not listen to the video ? They suspected he was doing it in hope's to get business at his car shop
@@ptrekboxbreaks5198 yeah I watched and listened to the video, and still owning a body shop is the most stupid reason to vandalize another person's property. Why not just put a flyer under the windshield wiper?
Jealousy, which is a deadly sin
They said his “wife thinks “ he owns a body shop lol
How about if they continuely park across a handicap ramp. All the time. Blocking access for wheelchair and bicycles. Is there ever a good reason. Same cars. Same spot. How about at the end of a block off on a street. Where the city leaves a spot for bicycles and people walking to get threw. But rude drivers feel that's their parking spot. Look at it from both sides. Maybe you drivers should THINK a little sometimes. It's all not YOUR road. I've wanted to key or flatten tires on some cars cause they don't give a care about anyone else. Just so they don't have to walk any further. There are some reasons to teach common sense.
Imagine how many times this guy must have done this before he was finally caught, he must have been doing this daily to get jobs at his repair shop, what a scum bag
Yea the cops should investigate his shop to see all the recent customers. And all of the ones that went in with scratches and paint repairs should be refunded by him.
There has been a similiar thing in our town. Some idiots went around the town and broke cars' windows and not taking anything.
But how will that guarantee they'll go to his particular shop? Such a dumb thing to do
@@misaelfraga8196 Exactly, if my car had that much damage the insurance company would tell me where to go.
@@misaelfraga8196 that’s why they likely target so many vehicles so the odds are one of them will go to their shop
I wonder if the guy owned a paint and body shop. Cause those scratches, the owners will call those in to their insurance to get fixed.
Definitely into what he did and wanting to continue the experience.
Imagine turning up at the body shop and seeing the guy who keyed your car.
Oh someone key your car? We fix! We fix!
The body shop this guy trusts to roto rooter his behind is probably doing the same thing...
He would have to do it for free
@@anonymous-is4hy I can’t help but hear Steven He

Did Leo help out the Orange Jeep Driver too? Glad Leo got the guy busted and arrested, should go back and post signs that 'was your car keyed' and provide the case # for the police, dude needs to be in jail for a while and pay restitution.
I tried to, but that driver left before I was there. The crew at Target knew about the incident and was ready to inform them about it. The day I returned there, I only found different employees who did not know anything about. The jeep didn’t have a front plate either so I couldn’t identify.
@@flylfb ah, that's a bummer. hopefully magic of the internet can find him. glad you got his ass though.
@@flylfb so did the guy pay you?
@@flylfb Hey Leo, thank you for your efforts. How were your interactions with Alameda Police, the DA and the courts. Were charges filed? Was there a resolution? Did the perp take plea? Did the perp get charged with DUI? I think what you did was great!
@@cesarrangel546 that happened in May, I haven’t heard back from the DA.
Sentry mode is so handy. Just a couple weeks ago somebody must have reveraed into the frint of my car on a parking lot. I fidnt even notice until the next day. Ill never know who did it
This is the greatest body shop ad of all time 😂 yall almost fooled me with this one
That dude had something VERY wrong going on with himself! My take is that, rather than trying to drum up business for his body shop, he was expressing his twisted jealousy. I'll never understand why anyone would key a car.
Which is weird because he has a nice car.
One of the funniest things I ever saw was when someone keyed my sun faded, sandblasted 22 year old Tornado. I mean it was sandblasted to the metal in places, so I obviously didn't care about how it looked.
@not today - Yeah, but changing his clothes before doing it? And checking to see how bad the damage is? Or was he wiping the area so it was more noticeable? I think the wife is right. I think he's trying to drum up business.
@not today - Quite possible.
Drunk
TIP: NEVER tell the offender that you have video evidence. Tell ONLY the authorities. Otherwise, you jeopardize your safety if the offender knows they’re busted unless they can get the video. Also, carry spare flash drives if the only way to share the video file is manually and not uploaded via email or the cloud. Carry on.
Ehhh or carry ccw
Good advice.
@@JamesFisherfrilleddragons also good advice.
@@JamesFisherfrilleddragons thats where I'm at wit it at this point

Same here in my city,, they throw nails in the parking lot,, i think they might have car workshop nearby,, now everything makes sense
The fact the Tesla owner only “talked” to him and didn’t stomp his face in kudos to him for keeping his cool
I know I probably won't have been nice to him as they but then again if you stomped on his face probably be in more trouble than him
In my case had this been me and I didn't have the videos but knew he did it. Curb stomping time.
@@MrBooMY3 🤣 exactly.. if he did this in my neighborhood it would not end well for him. I’ve seen people throw hands for a lot less than this
Tesla people don't have balls for that. I'm surprised he actually confronted the guy.
He would have gotten a $5,000 ass kicking from me 1st! Then prosecuted 2 the full extent of the law!🤕
What a creepy guy🤬 So glad you pressed charges!!
but girls love guys like this though
I must have missed the part about prison time for this perp. I'll have to watch the video again to find it!
That's terrible. That perpetrator was appreciating his handiwork. What type of person does that? I'm so glad that he got caught.
Nothing more satisfying than a dose of justice
I bet the guy was released within a few hours, im sure he went out right away doin the same thing
@@rogusmith2630 I highly doubt that
@@rogusmith2630 I don't think so, but looking at the american justice system I wouldn't be suprised

@@avap0n459 democrat's justice system is catch and released. judges in Cali let, murders, rapists, robbers, free all the time. same thing happens in NY, Chicago why do you think they're so over ran with crime.
Such a satisfying ending. I'm a Tesla owner, and if I ever catch someone vandalizing my property, I'm the guy that WILL take time off work to show up for every court hearing to make sure they're prosecuted. And seek restitution.
If they did it to mine Tesla would have me on film putting a might hurt on him...
Thank you on behalf of the society. I would too but I believe the majority of people won't.

I guarantee he called his buddy and told him he keyed a tesla and his buddy called him an idiot and told him teslas have cameras everywhere and he was trying to wipe it off.
Super Stupid 🤦♂️
In that 1 video where the girl hit the Tesla and took off and then later on she came back and gave the guy all her information . I bet she was told the same thing , that's why she came back.

*The criminal mind* is so darn stupid , he shouldn't hung around there in the 1st place.
Didn't he do the jeep after though?
No, you got to think like a criminal. He was wiping off his fingerprints.
I remember seeing another clip on RUclips where a lady was doing the same thing to a Telsa and got caught the same way. She claimed that she must have done it by accident, but the video clearly showed it was intentional.
There’s a lot of video cameras in the world these days. It makes it really hard to lie.
lol so she couldn't hear the 'SCREECH' sound???
Damn the jeep too! 😭😭
He went into the mall started bragging to a friend about what he did! That person told him about the cameras and no he is out there trying to fix it!! LMFAO..
This is the most satisfying video I’ve watched this week. Justice Served!
I mean he was arrested, but I sure he was released within the same day
If you like that look up purse thief trapped on bus
As someone who has had his car keyed, this brings me a lot of satisfaction. I hope more people come forward and this guy gets a large fine
What did you do to get your car keyed?
@@markazain8996 nothing. Just came back and noticed a huge scratch 4 panels long
No one "does anything" to get their vehicle keyed. If you have an issue with someone, be an adult and direct it to them in person. If it's too dangerous, then obviously you'd call the cops. Keying someone's car is the truest sign of absolute beta male weakness. You are never in the right and you're proving you are just a soft, emotional twat.
You surely haven’t upset someone ? Someone that could take his revenge by keying your car ?

I hope your insurance doesn't go up because of this, this was obviously not your fault.
I would not have been able to control myself in that situation and the criminal would’ve needed an ambulance or a coroner to take him away from the scene.
Why anyone would key a car that everyone knows has more cameras than any car on the market and then unmask themselves and hang around like that is beyond me.
He thought he would get away by changing clothes, surprisingly

It's nice of him to hang around so he could be arrested, rather than key the car and just get out of there ASAP. Good job, bud.
And it's probably true he may have a shop near bye which explains why he double checked he's work to calculate the potential cost for repair and stayed in the parking lot for more vehicles to damage a true to life piece of s**t I can't stand scam artists and thieves.
might have been planning to walk up to them and be like "oh hey i have an auto body shop, I can fix this for you today, ill give u a great deal!"
Notice how he wore the same color clothes as the vehicles?
He wore a white hoodie for the white tesla and an orange hoodie for the orange jeep.

That will be a bit, he is Jail house stripes right now!!!!
I live in the Bay area this happen in, I would love to know if that guy did in fact own a Body shop, what's the name I want to steer clear.
Reminds me of a time 25 years ago, when a friend of mine drove to his place of employment, ,
after parking his car he remained inside whilst awaiting for the premises to open, after a few minutes he felt/ heard something ,
on exiting the car to investigate he found somebody in the process of stealing his wheel trims.

I bought my brand new car and 3 weeks afterwards, someone Keyed it just "for fun", 2 doors and a rear panel. It is sad there are people like this 😔
It's why I'd never buy a brand new car. At least no one would bother to key a dust bucket.
@@squodge nah, u don't need to buy a dust bucket either if you have possibility to have a nice car in which you will feel good.
I think it's mostly just nasty jealousy. I worked manual labor, scrimped & saved to buy my car. I don't do salon haircuts, salon nails, tattoos, drugs, alcohol, Starbucks, fast food, netflix, or even new clothes. Thrift stores ftw!
I finally saved enough to buy a 98 Mercedes C-class that I fell in love with. So low-maintenance & dependable! Clean and pretty!
Hateful people have torn off the hood emblem, poured chemicals on it to ruin the paint, keyed it, smashed shopping carts into it, & smashed the trunk in (hit & run).
Funny thing is, the car they get into after hating on mine? Costs them tens of thousands of dollars, while mine was a total of $1500.00. But they're jealous. People are just hateful and stupid.
That's why I drive round in a 27 year old rust bucket. Having anything near a new car where I live is asking for trouble. A lot of sad, jealous people live near me.
@@JamieM470 seems like a lot of people dislike you
I've had 2 cars keyed, in 2 different countries, and it is just the worst feeling. Besides the money, theres also the feeling of not being happy to park again in that same place. If thats a supermarket you shop at regularly, then its just an awful feeling.
Separately, I wish theyd throw these perpetrators in jail for a year or two.
Im so sorry, ive been there myself. Just make sure you have full insurance when travelling is all i can say. 😒
@@THEvagabond29insurance agent? 😂
Exactly. We’ve all gotten a flat tire after parking in a parking lot and you’re just like, “How did that nail magically turn 90° and leap off the ground into my tire, definitely wasn’t the local tow company, definitely not” 🙄
WOW....$4800 to repair scratches! Need to do another story on PRICE GOUGING by body shop!
“Leo’s wife thinks the guy owns a body shop in the area and was keying new and expensive cars to get more business.”
I have always suspected this is the case whenever there’s a rash of slashed tires and broken car windows in a particular neighborhood. It’s a local shop owner who is drumming up business.
🤯 how awful. I hadn't even considered that esp since who knows which shop a person would choose. Maybe you are sending somebody else business! Unless. The shops owners work together messing up people's cars so that statistically speaking everyone has a chance of getting some new customers. If that's the case this world is just fucking evil.
Its the only reasonable explanation I suppose. I cant imagine why on earth a grown man would think its ok to key people's cars. This world is crazy.
It's pretty common for tire shops to throw nails out in the road too.
@@IH8stpdppl I've seen evidence of this
That's psychotic. I'm so busy I can barely keep up. Maybe if he was focusing on his business instead of ruining people's cars he would have more customers.
What's impressive is how this guy didn't get his face stomped in
Because these same people have a anti-asian hate crime passed hence the reason why people don’t want to mess with them. Honestly, when the law passed for us, it only did more harm rather than it did do good. People will use that as a power trip so they think they can do whatever they want. I wish it was removed.
If you look up the word "stupid" you'll probably see a picture of this guy.
Great job getting this guy off the street I am with the photography
This kind of stuff makes me so nervous to drive an expensive car around or leave it in a parking lot. People are crazy and highly jealous
i live in the uk had my car done two times now
I don't own expense vehicles, regardless the public always finds a way to leave it mark on it...
Don't let haters stop ur grind
My buddy had his new car get damage overnight on the first night he left it out. People do get jealous unfortunately
@@Zeno7741 don't let them win by downgrading ur life
While I love videos like these, we can only cherish this moment in time where most vandals do not know about these camera features and not try to take out the cameras first.
nah this guy is just stupid.. he un-masked and show himself.. if he just took off and never came back, he would not be caught.
Don't give them ideas
@@blueshoes5145 now they know this feature on Tesla they will cover the camera next time. or worse break it..
surprised someone who keys teslas for fun is not aware of sentry mode..
Plot Twist: Leo and the vandal co-own the Go Auto Collision Body Shop and this is an elaborate ad.
He probably called a friend to brag about it and his friend said, WTF dude those things have like 18 cameras on them
The camera feature is amazing. This car keyer new what he was doing and think about this, this guy has probably done this 1000’s of times. He made sure the depth of the scratch was too deep to cut or sand out. In the UK it would have been £660 ($782) to have the whole side sprayed by a competent highly rated body shop pre pandemic.
I dont think so, a scratch that deep requires a complete paint job, and if you have people in the UK who can repaint an entire care with proper auto paint and bake it for 800 bucks then wow, you found some really REALLY cheap services..
There are like 6 coats of paint/treatment needed... this guy scratched to the metal dude. Every coat has to dry/cure properly in the right conditions. Thats why its so expensive.
A real man never messes with another man's car.
This world is lacking real men, canada and the japanese fucked with all my cars, never living in canada, or buying a japanese car again!
Can replace car with items over ten fucking dollars lol
No. just the guy's wife or mother.
The lights on a TESLA automaticly turn on if you walk within 10 feet of it. TESLAS will be vandalized daily until this is corrected.
Yup. It’s against the rules. It’s on Page 8 of the Real man’s manual.
Why do people do this, it is such an odd crime
That's like an undertaker moonlighting as a hitman.
Someone did this to my BMW while it was parked on the road while I was having my driveway redone. I honestly wish it had cameras like these Teslas.
Very Satisfied with this one! So glad one of these creeps finally has to pay for what they did.
Leaving a movie theater at night. Parking lot was on a slight hill. Car parked up the hill from me was using my car as a stop, they did not have their own car in park or the break engaged. If I had not noticed and driven away their car would have rolled and damaged something else. My friend wanted to key it but I thought that was a bit extreme. So I pushed it off my own car and engaged the break, leaving it in the middle of the lane with the doors open and the lights on.
What mindset must a person be in to commit such a crime. Mind boggling.
Let's not forget about the jerks who dent your vehicles when they open their car doors. They never own up to it. They should be jailed, also.
That is the worst. I even try to park far away, but always someone shows up real close. Im very careful and vigilant myself not to damage anyones property.
Yeah. I bloody hate these people.
Tesla really needs to update the app so that we can be notified when a person passes by so that we can live to the cameras right away somewhat like ring cameras and or best cameras.
They do have motion detection notification on the cameras but most will turn that off because century mode is already so taxing on the battery.
You seem a bit paranoid. Tesla's are ALWAYS recording even if you think it's not. When anything breaches it's proximity it will notify you of any issues. But the live feature doesn't seem like a bad idea but that idea could be used in several bad ways.
@@King_of_Africa I know that but the notifications come well after the situation is over, and it doesn’t alert your phone if a person passes by it only alerts you when something touches the car
@@FreeScripts if the features are implemented just like your standard home security camera system there is nothing to use it in a bad way for. It’s just simple, when a person passes by even if they don’t touch your car you get a quick notification, then you are able to just go to your live feed and watch to see if that person will do something, if it’s person just passing by you can just disregard. I know many people would love to catch the clowns in the act, and this feature would most likely allow that.
@TeslaFanBoy2.3 at least give people a choice 🤷🏾♂️
I had a old car that I spent nearly $15'000 in restoring to mint condition doing body work and new paint fresh professionaly. One day I came out and the car looked like a golf ball all small dents and keyed everywhere. Cost me $6500~ to repaint and get the car fixed again took me nearly a year to save it up again at that time. I think I'm happy that I wasn't around, because I would have regretted going to jail for making this person looking as a golfball ruining my own life.
well you don't own one off those overpriced kias so I believe you would and I don't blame you as long as its not Eletric people like that deserve that fate
This happened to me back in the 90's to my new 300ZX. Some guy ran right in front of me and I almost hit him so I laid on the horn. I parked but based on his angry reaction, I had a gut feeling he was going to do something to my car so I stood behind the wall. Sure enough I see him walking around coming back to my car and he had his keys in his hand. I took off after him and right before he got to my car I jumped him. It was awesome, he was a little guy and I'm a 5'9" female so he went down hard. Didn't know what hit him.
I used to own an auto detailing business and believe me, the factory paint is ALWAYS a LOT better than a repaint job.
All cars needs to have this feature
Keying the car and hail damage are the worst!!
That’s me! I really enjoy watching this channel and I’m glad I got a resolution for this incident. I’m very thankful for the supportive comments here!
Although, I don’t condone any of the racist attacks some commenters are making about the person on the video. He committed what I believe it’s a felony, but that’s it.
Attacking someone for how they look or where they might be from is low as the reported act.
I hope the true fans of this channel may agree with me and enjoy more videos coming next!
Leo, I’m the owner of the red Jeep that was also keyed! I have a case # with the APD but would like to somehow connect with you on this.
@@james4152 I’m trying to find a way to send you a contact without the comment being removed from yt.

That rodent deserves all the nastiness that comes his way -in any form. Get rid of him. Deport!!

This guy must have had a car keying fetish. I would be extremely upset to see my vehicle keyed; however, I would be overjoyed to have a fully detailed video of the incident. Well done Teslacam. 👏
Please tell me keying cars isn't a real fetish :)
If he has a fetish for it, then he should just scratch his own car.
- He's a psychopath and probably gets off watching when the victims come out of the store and discover what he's done.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta have cameras Everywhere these days!
What a grub 😂
Whether for malice or for profit, sad to see so much evil being perpetuated today.
Atleast he was caught and thats what really matters.
I had a 240SX when I was a lot younger. It was keyed similarly. It didn’t have cameras like the Tesla’s do. So I had to pay out of own pocket to fix. It’s good to see that he was caught..
I wouldn't have a Tesla if you paid me. But even I know that they have camera's all over their car's 😂
