As far as Penelope’s roll coal goes, I wanna say she wasn’t a victim of rolling coal. The smoke only happened every other second maybe less n wasn’t constant like other roll coals. Then the fact that the exhaust is out the hood in the middle just makes it less specific.
Agreed, especially since the truck was spewing smoke when it was still behind her. Either something is broken or the driver is really stupid. Each smoke particle is something he paid for that he doesn't get anything out of except a stupid cloud. That carbon might have been burned if the engine was adjusted properly - just look at the Audi Diesels (yes, part of Volkswagen, Diesel scandal, yadda yadda yadda - the engines in that scandal are *MUCH* cleaner than that POS). The larger displacement engines (e.g. 3.0 tdi) do have an SCR cat and weren't affected by the scandal at all. They're smaller but still more powerful than the engine in the truck in the video...
It has vertical stacks. That is the engine exhaust, because they have removed the muffler and the particulate collection system they smoke every time the go pedal is pressed. All most the dumbest thing done to diesel trucks.
As someone who lives in very rural eastern oregon and seeing true rolling coal frequently, that isn’t it. I was 3 cars behind a diesel. The car behind him made him mad at some point apparently b/c he rolled coal all over it before even leaving the light and on from there.

For the first clip, a similar thing happened to me a couple of days ago. I was riding my bike (bicycle), and the light turned green. I waited at least 5 seconds for traffic to clear, and when I started moving, a black 2018 Range Rover Vogue sped right in front of me, going at least 40-50km/h on a left turn. Traffic is crazy, man.
Yeah those drivers are dangerous. I've also had my fair share of red light runner in car. As a cyclist before i go through an intersection i check both way that traffic is slowing down in all lane. If i didn't do that i'm sure i would have end up in at least 2 accident.

2:14 That’s a temporary license plate. The reason why it was covering up the license plate is because the new driver bought the car a few days after it was first sold.
arent you suppose to take the old plates off tho? and front plate doesnt matter youre suppose to display it in the back? have you even owned a car before?
I agree, it’s the temporary plates. And you can’t tell that well, it looks like it isn’t a plate but the dealer plate. Where they bought the car, and instead of taking it off. They just put the paper plate over it. They no longer put stickers in the windows, not sure if it’s the same in every state. But in California they have to display the new plate, if they leave the dealer plate and put sticker in window. They can get pulled over and get a ticket.
You people don't know how to fight an insurance company. They call it a "settlement" because you are settling for LESS than what you are really owed. You are OWED compensation to be made whole. I have taken them to court every time and DEMANDED 100% reimbursement plus costs. Every time the insurance lawyer slime tells the judge "we made them a fair offer", he always replied, "I'll determine what is fair here and if your offer was fair, we wouldn't be here." I have been awarded the maximum estimate of replacement every time.
@@TheOwlGuy777 Got his karma? At the expense of someone else. You’re now basically saying anyone who wrecks into another car, got their karma. That utility van did nothing, zero, nada, just at the light going about their day but then had to deal with being hit. That’s what you consider karma? Why? Want to claim it’s because according to the person driving by the damage was minimal? If the Tesla had been hit with minimal damage would it still be “karma?” Technically a car getting keyed has suffered minimal damage.
@@AveragePicker Minimum $7500 to fix the BMW, perhaps $1k to straighten out a few dents on the van = marvelous karma for the BMW who will have to cover both claims.
Agree. He also increased his own danger by accelerating closer to the vehicle in front. Accelerating in a dangerous situation is usually an idiotic move.
First clip: Do these drivers just close their eyes when entering intersections? Yes, the Honda jumped a red light, but they were coming from the drivers side, a cursory glance left to ensure no one was jumping the lights could have saved Zeiro a lot of hassle. Props to the daughter though for not just hitting the go peddle as soon as the green lights lit up. So many people just floor it when the lights go green.
Came here to say this. But it’s not like she waited to be safe she waited for cars to not be right in front of her. She literally could have used that time too turn her head to the left slightly.
#5, 4:12 is a prime example of this. copied comment: the moment you engage in road rage, you lose too. just let the dangerous drivers pass. don’t play vigilante. let the police/karma deal with them accordingly. PLUS you NEVER KNOW the other person’s situation. what if he had a pregnant/dying person in the car and was en route to the hospital, or something of similar urgency. Asura needs to get off their high horse.
Long ago I was told that they could total a car that had to replace three 'major' components. So if the front airbags went off the car was (IS!) totaled. And with the overinflated price of Tesla parts, they can just about total it for a scratched rim.
I thought the same thing. Better to let the idiot be an idiot and get in front than either get into an accident yourself or cause the idiot to make one involving some poor innocent.
U know why there are still ppl like this BMW driver? Cos ppl like u let it slide, so they understand that unless cops get them they can fck u and u will let it slide.
@@IReapZz95 most narrow streets in Europe are and should be car-free: if a street is so narrow that you have to fold the mirrors it doesn’t need to take car traffic
8:34 Those narrow roads are very common in the UK. Other than major main roads, most streets are this narrow. We don’t have overly huge cars like the US/Canada so they aren’t necessary.
My thought as well, these streets are very common in Europe and in some places in Italy this street would have nearly been wide enough for two way traffic
its a high end luxury car, everything is going to be expensive about it like an iphone. like in body shops they can do the same repair to a toyota bumper and itd cost $500, same fix on an audi $5k cuz the bumper new costs $8k. not really about cost of repair but cost of ownership. plus any repairs other than body you need a specialized mechanic AND expensive electrical components like the motor or literally anything with it. and what makes those parts expensive when needing replacement and funnels down to repairs is all the additional sensors n crap that are connected to everything else
at 2:20 the GMC doesn't have a paper covering the license plate.. it's a brand new vehicle. in California you're given a temporary paperish license plate until you get your official plates in the mail.

wanted to comment the same thing. Asura was just as big of an ahole as the BMW driver. He is none the better and after all he escalated an already dangerous situation by provoking an aggressive driver. The good solution would have been to let the idiot go and thus deescalate the situation. Too much ego, unfortunately, prevented him from doing the right thing...
It doesn't matter if you use your turn signal when turning or parking. You still need to make sure the way is clear. Similarly - it doesn't matter if the light is red or green. You need to check for oncoming traffic. People run lights all the time. Driving cautiously and defensively can save your life and your vehicle.
Tip:it doesn’t matter what car you have there is a 95% chance the car will be totaled even if one airbag went off although if it was somehow light enough of an impact it may be replaceable
I live around the corner from where the first clip took place and can confirm there is always an accident at this intersection. Crenshaw is a main street and has a lot of idiot drivers who have a need for speed and run lights.
I did indeed. They told me that they would check it out. The guy was drunk. Went to chevron to buy more beer. It was absolutely crazy madness what he did. The guy on the motorcicle was probably 17-18 years old and shook his head at the next light where I made the u turn. Glad he was ok!
@@tony_25or6to4 I agree, in that moment I was going to accelerate but I kept my distance. That light was green for at least 5 seconds before the event happened. It was crazy! Nice to meet a fellow person in Lake Forest
Yea exactly my thoughts, my dad always said you need 2 idiots to cause and accident, or a really big one 🤷. It really could’ve been avoided if she had been or taught to be more careful.
I consider most of those events "rolling coal" - nobody sane drives like the drivers seen in this video. Press gas to 100%, then release it completely - only to step again to 100% like a second later. Normally you'd press gas to the level that allows you to keep in the flow of traffic on city streets. In particular this truck driver had somebody else infront, so no real reason to accelerate again and again - except to spew black smoke at the EV behind
9:36 when those dually tires blow its loud... same kind used on school busses and I was the last one on the bus going home after school one time in high school and I was sitting on top of the rear tire hump and with the window down then out of nowhere one of the dully tires blew, qlmost sounded like a firework going off with slight ringing in my ear for a few minutes
11:08 Having lived in Baton Rouge, that specific spot is a really bad place to get in a crash. It's just east of the Mississippi River crossing and I-110 split, but west of the 10/12 split. The only exits go to small surface streets in suburban BR. There's a reason Baton Rouge, despite its relatively small population of about 500k people in the metro, has some of the worst traffic in the country, and the poor road planning is one of them.
I don't understand, why is a Tesla totalled because the airbag deployed? The car looked mildly damaged otherwise. Why just throw the entire car away because of the airbags?
Airbags are very expensive to repair in cars. It very common for cars to be totaled because of Airbags going off. They are also hard to replace on most cars. It's easier just to write the car off.
@@jdub4626 So if the car has minior damage in the front, basically some scratches, then it would cost more than 30-40k to replace the airbags? That does not sound right and I would be very angry if I was an insurance company if Tesla said that it would cost nearly as much as a new car. If that is the case it's a big design flaw that needs to be fixed.
Why didn't Asura let that bmw overtake him, even though it wasn't legal action? And even forced him to make a crash. In the seccond atempt it was Asura who made an ilegal action too. That's how you make people hate Teslas. Don't be surprised if you see a key skratch on your Teslas.
That Honda Autopia ride would be much more fun if the throttle response on the karts was better. As of now they’re one pedal cars, release the gas = brake, press the gas = throttle. It’s like the throttle is operated by a hyperactive squirrel, the brake is operated by a sloth, a turtle is monitoring the pedal and they’re all talking to each other through a few tin cans and some string. When you press the gas the engine starts trying to move and the brake gets released 2 seconds later. Those two seconds consists of the centrifugal clutch just getting cooked beyond hell. Other than all that the ride was fun.
zeiroe obviously wasn't careful enough because she didn't bother to look left and right before she entered the intersection. Just because you have a green light doesn't mean you have the right to proceed without caution.
Always safer to slow when approaching and crossing busy intersections. It's not about the law and the right of way, it's about safety, which supercedes the law.
Mr Wheelchair - it's hard to tell, but it looks like the guy was crossing diagonally through the intersection and expecting everyone to stop. It only takes one person texting and splat! .
"you shouldn't gun it when a traffic light turns green!" - nope, sorry. Check for sirens or flashing emergency lights, but otherwise, feel free to punch it, Instead, you shouldn't try to beat a stale yellow. If you wait for a few seconds if there might be a car that ran the red light, long term people will start to treat yellow as a strange green. Of course, if you notice them in time, brake to avoid, but you're not required to check if there is a car coming from the direction that is supposed to stop.
“Not required,” will get you killed. But hey, when you’ve been thrown into the retaining wall at the intersection up the street from me, your car a pretzel, everyone screaming, and your blood dripping out to mingle with the gas spilling from under the car, you can self righteously declare you weren’t required to check. True story. The intersection up the street from me constantly is forever changing people’s lives. The city doesn’t even replace the one street sign or historic marker anymore. And nobody in the know waits at the actual bus stop anymore, you wait well behind it.
I didn't know a Friend of mine had bought a Honda until he came up to my house driving it. He had things to buy in the Big Town 15 miles away and asked if I wanted to go. I said yes and we left. When we got back he was just pulling up outside my house when he farted. He looked at me and said, 'That's what I call a Honda Pump'.
How could Lt Butterfinger possibly have right of way at 6:15? He's entering a major road from a minor road. Regardless, he saw the oncoming car on the left and then slowly drove out in front of it - that's just suicidal. I don't believe a word of that story, major "and then everyone clapped" vibes.
Uhh Cary needs to contact a lawyer or the insurance provider, theres a lot of legal precedent that insurance should cover the replacement cost of the vehicle, not just its original value.
#11 Turn signal? Turn signal wouldn't have changed who was at fault. Dude in the hatchback barely came to a stop before throwing his car in reverse and stomping the throttle. He definitely didn't have time to check his mirrors and register that there was a car there. Using his turn signal would not have absolved him of _any amount_ of fault in this incident.
Exactly what I was thinking. Had my Model 3 SR+ totaled last October, I had paid $37k after incentives and insurance gave me $52k for it. She should fight that unless she didn't have comprehensive insurance?
The first one from Penelope, I don’t think it was purposely directed at her. It may have been but I’m not really sure. The sad thing is, I don’t even drive a Tesla, I drive a Nissan Altima, that does have Auto Steer and adaptive cruise, so it has some of the same cool benefits that the Teslas do, wished I had one, but that’s a story for another time, but anyways, I’ve had coal rolled on me, idk why, it may be because my car is kinda decked out to resemble that of a Model S, so they may think I have a Tesla, idrk, but yea. But I just laugh when they do it cause I’m like yep, you just burnt up $10 in diesel 😂
People are saying that Penelope wasn't a victim of rolling coal, yet she was. it doesn't seem as if it was directed towards her, but truck drivers kind of suck so it probably was.
6:00 that fucking name just made me choke on a soda i was drinking... my dude, it hurts to breath right now. soda came out my nose and it burns sooo damn much hahaha
1:57 that truck was probably only scratched. it looks like it might have been a Toyota or Datsun truck, something older that probably already gas a few dings and scratches. the driver probably didn't even notice anything as he drove through the intersection...
1:06 Man, that car is totally fine... It's probably even still drivable. At this rate electric vehicles won't be greener than ICE since manufacturing a whole new EV (especially the battery!) wastes so much more than manufacturing a new ICE car or just repairing it. I know it's the insurance's fault, but the facts that Teslas cost so much to repair and take so much time is probably a factor. I just hope they'll be recovering the battery and other things from that car since they're probably good as new.
@@GrillerRohde A lot of that can be repaired, unless it’s pretty extensive structural damage. Of course it wouldn’t be worth it on a 20 year old car that would’ve died a couple of years from now, but on a recent (and expensive) EV that pollutes so much just by manufacturing it I’d think twice about totalling it. That said, if it really was unrepairable I hope they salvage whatever still works, which is very probably the battery and the motors, and all the interior and chips considering we’re also in a chip storage xD.
@@itsByte Yes everything can be repaired but this costs a lot of money. Just repainting the bumper and aligning all the sensor again costs 2000$, new headlights above 1000$ maybe even 2000$. The inspection itself costs money, it all piles up.
Hey why is it that on the Tesla website they price used Model 3s with 25,000 miles close to $60K and that of course doesn't include the 10% Calif sales tax and big-time DMV reg.

2:14 That’s a temporary license plate. The reason why it was covering up the license plate is because the new driver bought the car a few days after it was first sold.
arent you suppose to take the old plates off tho? and front plate doesnt matter youre suppose to display it in the back? have you even owned a car before?
There’s no way that Yukon was driving 50mph. More like 30
@@ccstreifel literally what i was thinking they are so dramatic on this channel🤣 still love the videos
That Yukon was total sketch. Drug dealers love those big SUVs and driving with fake temp tags.
I agree, it’s the temporary plates. And you can’t tell that well, it looks like it isn’t a plate but the dealer plate. Where they bought the car, and instead of taking it off. They just put the paper plate over it. They no longer put stickers in the windows, not sure if it’s the same in every state. But in California they have to display the new plate, if they leave the dealer plate and put sticker in window. They can get pulled over and get a ticket.
5:30 Everyone runs the red at that intersection. Surprised there’s not more accidents than there already are.
I'm more surprised the BMW driver knew how to use their indicator
@@asmolguy lol
@@asmolguy Not a funny joke anymore
Sounds like they need a red-light camera there! Do they have these in the US?
@@toddstewart4404 Sadly our cameras aren’t used for those purposes. The cameras on the traffic lights here only functions as a way to manage traffic.
8:28 no, it’s telling them not to bump other Honda drivers, everything else is fair game
LOL, my thoughts exactly!
Entirely new sentence: "Lieutenant Butterfingers was headed to Burger King for a Crispy Chicken Sandwich"
*EDIT:* That story got even better.
rofl all thanks to LT Butterfingers and his story telling 😂
You people don't know how to fight an insurance company. They call it a "settlement" because you are settling for LESS than what you are really owed. You are OWED compensation to be made whole. I have taken them to court every time and DEMANDED 100% reimbursement plus costs. Every time the insurance lawyer slime tells the judge "we made them a fair offer", he always replied, "I'll determine what is fair here and if your offer was fair, we wouldn't be here." I have been awarded the maximum estimate of replacement every time.
#5 So basically Asura could have just let BMW driver get ahead of him and some working stiff wouldn’t have been hit.
BMW driver got his karma. He could have backed off and drive like a civilized person.
@@TheOwlGuy777 Got his karma? At the expense of someone else. You’re now basically saying anyone who wrecks into another car, got their karma. That utility van did nothing, zero, nada, just at the light going about their day but then had to deal with being hit. That’s what you consider karma? Why? Want to claim it’s because according to the person driving by the damage was minimal? If the Tesla had been hit with minimal damage would it still be “karma?” Technically a car getting keyed has suffered minimal damage.
@@AveragePicker it's not that deep
@@AveragePicker Minimum $7500 to fix the BMW, perhaps $1k to straighten out a few dents on the van = marvelous karma for the BMW who will have to cover both claims.
Agree. He also increased his own danger by accelerating closer to the vehicle in front. Accelerating in a dangerous situation is usually an idiotic move.
First clip: Do these drivers just close their eyes when entering intersections? Yes, the Honda jumped a red light, but they were coming from the drivers side, a cursory glance left to ensure no one was jumping the lights could have saved Zeiro a lot of hassle. Props to the daughter though for not just hitting the go peddle as soon as the green lights lit up. So many people just floor it when the lights go green.
I think if she had floored it then the accident would have been avoided but still tho she did the right thing
Useless US drivers...
Exactly! Always look in every direction before proceeding a green light
Came here to say this. But it’s not like she waited to be safe she waited for cars to not be right in front of her. She literally could have used that time too turn her head to the left slightly.
She was "being extra careful"? Roflmao!
5:14 it's not a bloody conflict it's a damn war. Come on wham baam!
There are attitudes of road rage honored on this channel. Please be careful not to elevate this wrong behavior. 2 wrongs don't make a right.
#5, 4:12 is a prime example of this.
copied comment: the moment you engage in road rage, you lose too. just let the dangerous drivers pass. don’t play vigilante. let the police/karma deal with them accordingly. PLUS you NEVER KNOW the other person’s situation. what if he had a pregnant/dying person in the car and was en route to the hospital, or something of similar urgency. Asura needs to get off their high horse.
Dude I would love this channel if there wasnt raid shadow legends ads in the middle of it
Yeah it's just too bad they need to get paid since you probably can't be bothered to do more than watch free!
If a car is totaled, the total cost of the replacement is the cost of the new car minus how much they sell the damage car for.
Good to know. Now if someone hits me I'll extort them for the full amount.
Long ago I was told that they could total a car that had to replace three 'major' components. So if the front airbags went off the car was (IS!) totaled. And with the overinflated price of Tesla parts, they can just about total it for a scratched rim.
There's already people lining up to get their hands on that first "totalled" Tesla.
4:26 Asura is just as much of fault for this one. Could have just let the other driver in front. Tone down the ego
Next time you witness a violation of law you can easily prevent - tone down your ego and do nothing instead
I thought the same thing. Better to let the idiot be an idiot and get in front than either get into an accident yourself or cause the idiot to make one involving some poor innocent.
U know why there are still ppl like this BMW driver? Cos ppl like u let it slide, so they understand that unless cops get them they can fck u and u will let it slide.
8:40 you call that a narrow road? You guys really don’t know how to drive
If there’s something there to be called narrow is that sidewalk
@@edipires15 yeah at least it had one. Most narrow streets in Europe don't even have them, you even have to fold the mirrors to fit in some of them
@@IReapZz95 most narrow streets in Europe are and should be car-free: if a street is so narrow that you have to fold the mirrors it doesn’t need to take car traffic
8:34 Those narrow roads are very common in the UK. Other than major main roads, most streets are this narrow. We don’t have overly huge cars like the US/Canada so they aren’t necessary.
My thought as well, these streets are very common in Europe and in some places in Italy this street would have nearly been wide enough for two way traffic
Why do the repairs of Teslas cost SO freaking much?? Future Cybertruck owner wants to know.
its a high end luxury car, everything is going to be expensive about it like an iphone. like in body shops they can do the same repair to a toyota bumper and itd cost $500, same fix on an audi $5k cuz the bumper new costs $8k. not really about cost of repair but cost of ownership. plus any repairs other than body you need a specialized mechanic AND expensive electrical components like the motor or literally anything with it. and what makes those parts expensive when needing replacement and funnels down to repairs is all the additional sensors n crap that are connected to everything else
I wouldn't use damage to S/X/3/Y as a reference for Cybertruck, as they use a completely different style of body.
10:10 that wasn’t rolling coal! It was flying coal instead!
at 2:20 the GMC doesn't have a paper covering the license plate.. it's a brand new vehicle. in California you're given a temporary paperish license plate until you get your official plates in the mail.
7:10 heart felt story
#5 so the OP is proud that they contributed to the dangerous situation? Well, congratulations to them then as they clearly obtained their objective.
agreed. the moment you engage in road rage, you lose too. just let the dangerous drivers pass. don’t play vigilante. let the police/karma deal with them accordingly. PLUS you NEVER KNOW the other person’s situation. what if he had a pregnant/dying person in the car and was en route to the hospital, or something of similar urgency. Asura needs to get off their high horse.
wanted to comment the same thing. Asura was just as big of an ahole as the BMW driver. He is none the better and after all he escalated an already dangerous situation by provoking an aggressive driver. The good solution would have been to let the idiot go and thus deescalate the situation. Too much ego, unfortunately, prevented him from doing the right thing...
It doesn't matter if you use your turn signal when turning or parking. You still need to make sure the way is clear. Similarly - it doesn't matter if the light is red or green. You need to check for oncoming traffic. People run lights all the time. Driving cautiously and defensively can save your life and your vehicle.
Tip:it doesn’t matter what car you have there is a 95% chance the car will be totaled even if one airbag went off although if it was somehow light enough of an impact it may be replaceable
Yupp because the airbag repair and cost cost over 10k for just one airbag

You don't run after getting hit unless your DWI or have a warrant.
2:34 the insurance should pay that extra 10k aswell.
They will if you sue them or not settle.
I live around the corner from where the first clip took place and can confirm there is always an accident at this intersection. Crenshaw is a main street and has a lot of idiot drivers who have a need for speed and run lights.
Teslas need an “upload to Wham Baam Teslacam” feature on the touch screen
Great video and Happy Father's Day to the Dads out there.
Perfect example of why we need more roundabouts instead of traffic lights
Yeah France is known for their accident free roundabouts. ….so is Milwaukee

#4 I hope Peter call the cops on the impaired driver.
I did indeed. They told me that they would check it out. The guy was drunk. Went to chevron to buy more beer. It was absolutely crazy madness what he did. The guy on the motorcicle was probably 17-18 years old and shook his head at the next light where I made the u turn. Glad he was ok!
@@petrebrandigi655 I pass that intersection everyday. Too many people are just blowing through stop lights.
@@tony_25or6to4 I agree, in that moment I was going to accelerate but I kept my distance. That light was green for at least 5 seconds before the event happened. It was crazy! Nice to meet a fellow person in Lake Forest

"THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY RAID SHADOW LEGENDS" massive 2017 vibes 🤣
the first incident could have been avoided just look left and right
Yea exactly my thoughts, my dad always said you need 2 idiots to cause and accident, or a really big one 🤷. It really could’ve been avoided if she had been or taught to be more careful.
I consider most of those events "rolling coal" - nobody sane drives like the drivers seen in this video. Press gas to 100%, then release it completely - only to step again to 100% like a second later. Normally you'd press gas to the level that allows you to keep in the flow of traffic on city streets. In particular this truck driver had somebody else infront, so no real reason to accelerate again and again - except to spew black smoke at the EV behind
1:20 The only time Comcast has ever been "too fast."
Number 6: first BMW driver seen to attempt using the indicators
9:36 when those dually tires blow its loud... same kind used on school busses and I was the last one on the bus going home after school one time in high school and I was sitting on top of the rear tire hump and with the window down then out of nowhere one of the dully tires blew, qlmost sounded like a firework going off with slight ringing in my ear for a few minutes
Not me watching this at 6:40 in the bathroom because I’m boers
11:08 Having lived in Baton Rouge, that specific spot is a really bad place to get in a crash. It's just east of the Mississippi River crossing and I-110 split, but west of the 10/12 split. The only exits go to small surface streets in suburban BR. There's a reason Baton Rouge, despite its relatively small population of about 500k people in the metro, has some of the worst traffic in the country, and the poor road planning is one of them.
In Clip 3, you say the vehicle hit them at 50 MPH. No way. I was in a collision at 40 MPH with more damage. He was going closer to 20 than 50 MPH.
I don't understand, why is a Tesla totalled because the airbag deployed? The car looked mildly damaged otherwise. Why just throw the entire car away because of the airbags?
Airbags are very expensive to repair in cars. It very common for cars to be totaled because of Airbags going off. They are also hard to replace on most cars. It's easier just to write the car off.
@@jdub4626 So if the car has minior damage in the front, basically some scratches, then it would cost more than 30-40k to replace the airbags? That does not sound right and I would be very angry if I was an insurance company if Tesla said that it would cost nearly as much as a new car. If that is the case it's a big design flaw that needs to be fixed.
I was clickling on "x" when the sponsor video was playing lol. Did it more than couple times until i realized its a video XD
6:00 you could've said "Lt. butterfingers was going to burger king for chicken tenders".
The fact the video from Alexander in Malta is so funny cuz I went to Malta a couple days ago and now I’m back home in Canada
Why didn't Asura let that bmw overtake him, even though it wasn't legal action? And even forced him to make a crash. In the seccond atempt it was Asura who made an ilegal action too. That's how you make people hate Teslas. Don't be surprised if you see a key skratch on your Teslas.
That Honda Autopia ride would be much more fun if the throttle response on the karts was better. As of now they’re one pedal cars, release the gas = brake, press the gas = throttle. It’s like the throttle is operated by a hyperactive squirrel, the brake is operated by a sloth, a turtle is monitoring the pedal and they’re all talking to each other through a few tin cans and some string. When you press the gas the engine starts trying to move and the brake gets released 2 seconds later. Those two seconds consists of the centrifugal clutch just getting cooked beyond hell. Other than all that the ride was fun.
If I watched Wham Baam Teslacam for over 2 years, I think I’m satisfied
zeiroe obviously wasn't careful enough because she didn't bother to look left and right before she entered the intersection. Just because you have a green light doesn't mean you have the right to proceed without caution.
Imagine a car is totalled just because deploys the airbag😆🤡
Yeah that’s fucked up.
I couldn't believe it either
You know is the end of the world when a Honda doesn’t bump
#3 Cary: No way the Yukon was going 50. Those are the temporary plates one is issued when buying a new car. Nothing sketchy about it.
Then why is there an actual tag under the paper?
It's pretty sketchy that they left the scene of the accident and abandoned the Yukon a block away.
@@zzanatos2001 that is true
@@amzarnacht6710 is there?
Always safer to slow when approaching and crossing busy intersections.
It's not about the law and the right of way, it's about safety, which supercedes the law.
Mr Wheelchair - it's hard to tell, but it looks like the guy was crossing diagonally through the intersection and expecting everyone to stop. It only takes one person texting and splat! .
that truck was targeting the coal at her for sure!!!
“Lieutenant Butterfingers”!? 🤭🤣🤣
That truck definitely wasn't rolling coal on her. They only need to lightly press the gas for that to happen.
Do a three count before you leave the light. In my home town one girl got killed when a big rig 🚛. Went through a red light
Has time travel become real that's the second time I've seen a penny farthing on RUclips. 🤯😂🤣.
That's called a temporary license plate and was clear in the slow mo footage.
It was covering
8:14 WAIT WHAT
"you shouldn't gun it when a traffic light turns green!" - nope, sorry. Check for sirens or flashing emergency lights, but otherwise, feel free to punch it,
Instead, you shouldn't try to beat a stale yellow.
If you wait for a few seconds if there might be a car that ran the red light, long term people will start to treat yellow as a strange green. Of course, if you notice them in time, brake to avoid, but you're not required to check if there is a car coming from the direction that is supposed to stop.
“Not required,” will get you killed. But hey, when you’ve been thrown into the retaining wall at the intersection up the street from me, your car a pretzel, everyone screaming, and your blood dripping out to mingle with the gas spilling from under the car, you can self righteously declare you weren’t required to check.
True story. The intersection up the street from me constantly is forever changing people’s lives.
The city doesn’t even replace the one street sign or historic marker anymore. And nobody in the know waits at the actual bus stop anymore, you wait well behind it.
95% of all accidents happen within two seconds of the light change.
When you said LT butterfingers I was eating a butterfinger
I know this area! I live in South Jordan!
I'm getting my license next month, and I'm also getting a dashcam for any future submissions 😉
One thing I have found is that, all over the world, BMW drivers are consistently considered the biggest douchebags. This video further backs that up.
I didn't know a Friend of mine had bought a Honda until he came up to my house driving it. He had things to buy in the Big Town 15 miles away and asked if I wanted to go. I said yes and we left. When we got back he was just pulling up outside my house when he farted. He looked at me and said, 'That's what I call a Honda Pump'.
Diesel puffing smoke is not purposely rolling coal on the Tesla in my opinion. Some change their trucks to smoke stacks
10:11 no its just the way the trucks tuned and when ever they step on the throttle a bit or the transmission shifts it will "Huff and Puff"
How could Lt Butterfinger possibly have right of way at 6:15? He's entering a major road from a minor road. Regardless, he saw the oncoming car on the left and then slowly drove out in front of it - that's just suicidal. I don't believe a word of that story, major "and then everyone clapped" vibes.
after i saw this channel, i have been trying to be in one of the videos and i have been waving at teslas cameras sience 2020
Uhh Cary needs to contact a lawyer or the insurance provider, theres a lot of legal precedent that insurance should cover the replacement cost of the vehicle, not just its original value.
#11 Turn signal? Turn signal wouldn't have changed who was at fault. Dude in the hatchback barely came to a stop before throwing his car in reverse and stomping the throttle. He definitely didn't have time to check his mirrors and register that there was a car there. Using his turn signal would not have absolved him of _any amount_ of fault in this incident.
I hope the truck has a five star safety rating
I'm hoping the dog isn't driving.
2:24 Carry should have been reimbersed for mor than the original price since a used one goes for more than the cost of a new one
Exactly what I was thinking. Had my Model 3 SR+ totaled last October, I had paid $37k after incentives and insurance gave me $52k for it. She should fight that unless she didn't have comprehensive insurance?
The first one from Penelope, I don’t think it was purposely directed at her. It may have been but I’m not really sure. The sad thing is, I don’t even drive a Tesla, I drive a Nissan Altima, that does have Auto Steer and adaptive cruise, so it has some of the same cool benefits that the Teslas do, wished I had one, but that’s a story for another time, but anyways, I’ve had coal rolled on me, idk why, it may be because my car is kinda decked out to resemble that of a Model S, so they may think I have a Tesla, idrk, but yea. But I just laugh when they do it cause I’m like yep, you just burnt up $10 in diesel 😂
People are saying that Penelope wasn't a victim of rolling coal, yet she was. it doesn't seem as if it was directed towards her, but truck drivers kind of suck so it probably was.
6:00 that fucking name just made me choke on a soda i was drinking... my dude, it hurts to breath right now. soda came out my nose and it burns sooo damn much hahaha

13 video she's is in the club it was directing to her cause the front camera caught it and coming right on the tesla
1:57
that truck was probably only scratched. it looks like it might have been a Toyota or Datsun truck, something older that probably already gas a few dings and scratches. the driver probably didn't even notice anything as he drove through the intersection...
1:06 Man, that car is totally fine... It's probably even still drivable. At this rate electric vehicles won't be greener than ICE since manufacturing a whole new EV (especially the battery!) wastes so much more than manufacturing a new ICE car or just repairing it. I know it's the insurance's fault, but the facts that Teslas cost so much to repair and take so much time is probably a factor. I just hope they'll be recovering the battery and other things from that car since they're probably good as new.
How do you know the frame or body didn’t get damaged?
Is the suspension okay? Did any of the electronics get damaged etc.
@@GrillerRohde A lot of that can be repaired, unless it’s pretty extensive structural damage. Of course it wouldn’t be worth it on a 20 year old car that would’ve died a couple of years from now, but on a recent (and expensive) EV that pollutes so much just by manufacturing it I’d think twice about totalling it. That said, if it really was unrepairable I hope they salvage whatever still works, which is very probably the battery and the motors, and all the interior and chips considering we’re also in a chip storage xD.
@@itsByte
Yes everything can be repaired but this costs a lot of money.
Just repainting the bumper and aligning all the sensor again costs 2000$, new headlights above 1000$ maybe even 2000$.
The inspection itself costs money, it all piles up.
