People Who Bully Tesla Drivers Forget That They’re On Camera

  • Tesla owners everywhere are increasingly dealing with vandals and bullies on the road.
  • Several recorded incidents clearly show how easily perpetrators get caught on camera.
  • Those targeting Teslas should remember they’re almost always being filmed from every angle.

Not too long ago, road rage incidents were mostly fleeting anecdotes – heated moments that vanished as quickly as they came. A decade or so ago, dashcams were still niche gadgets and the idea of catching someone’s highway tantrum on video was far from routine. Of course, bullying Teslas wasn’t as popular then either. Now, the combination brings us a new situation where those who want to bully a Tesla need to recognize that they’re on camera. Several cameras in fact.

Recently in Florida, one Tesla driver experienced this firsthand. While the original video has since been taken down from the Facebook group that shared it, it captured a driver in a Mazda sedan cruising up beside a Cybertruck before abruptly cutting it off on the highway for no appreciable reason. Perhaps they forgot Teslas come equipped with more cameras than a low-budget reality show. Either way, the footage shows the Mazda driver clearly sizing up the truck just before swerving ahead.

It then captured the passenger in the Mazda giving the Cybertruck driver the bird. Of course, it also caught the very unique touches on the sedan including a decal on the door, a kayak and storage bin on the roof, and a disc golf goal on the hitch. The driver found the Mazda owner on social media only a few hours later but declined to comment based on their concerns about their safety.

Tesla owners everywhere are making this point all too clear these days. On a separate occasion, a group of people walked by a Cybertruck. Some flipped the Tesla the bird and one person appeared to draw on the vehicle with a black marker. The owner of the pickup has every right to post online and to try to hold these folks accountable.

In another Cybertruck-related incident, a person vandalized the side of the pickup before walking away. Once again, the cameras caught everything. In this case, though, the owner ended up finding out who the perp was. In fact, the person evidently ended up with two charges of criminal mischief.

Keep in mind that this isn’t only a Tesla-centric thing. Rivian’s vehicles come equipped with full 360-degree recording. BMW offers a similar feature, and automakers like Mercedes and MINI have integrated dashcams available too. Subaru, Toyota, and Lexus also offer built-in options, some more robust than others.

Road rage has never been a good idea, but now it’s not just dangerous, it’s incredibly easy to document. Whether you’re flipping off a stranger, cutting someone off, or dragging a disc golf basket around while doing it, there’s a good chance someone’s camera system is rolling. And depending on the car, it might be recording from multiple angles, all in high definition, ready for both the internet and the authorities.

Lexus Driver Goes Full Road Rage On Cybertruck

  • Tesla Cybertruck dashcam captured a Lexus LX600 in an aggressive road rage confrontation.
  • Video from the Tesla shows the Lexus driver brandishing what appears to be a firearm.
  • The incident highlights how pointless road rage is when cameras record everything around us.

There’s no shortage of things to be angry about these days, and let’s be honest—it gets the best of all of us now and then. Nevertheless, when you’re behind the wheel, keeping your emotions in check isn’t just good manners; it’s basic safety. When things spiral, you end up with situations like this: a Lexus driver pulling what appears to be a holstered firearm on a Tesla driver in broad daylight.

The original clip was posted by an X account called DonaldTNews. In it, we see a Lexus LX600 driver pull up alongside a Tesla. This isn’t just any Tesla either; it’s the Cybertruck, which, like everything Elon-related, has become wildly divisive. The Lexus driver appears to shout at the Cybertruck’s occupants while they’re moving along a highway. He even goes so far as to wag his finger at them like a disappointed gym teacher.

He then drives slightly into the Tesla’s lane and appears to attempt to hit the Cybertruck. Things only get crazier from here. After dropping back in traffic momentarily, the Lexus driver speeds up again and this time points something out the window at the Tesla. It’s hard to make out, but it appears to be a firearm, perhaps with a holster on the business end.

Others have surmised that it’s actually a stun gun of some sort due to its boxy nature. Nevertheless, it appears to be a firearm of sorts, and Texas, where this video seems to be from, is well-known for its gun-friendly population. Finally, the Lexus driver appears to intentionally swerve toward the Cybertruck before sitting behind it long enough for the video to end.

It’s worth noting that there’s no way of knowing whether the Cybertruck driver did something that infuriated the one in the LX600h. However, there is nothing they could’ve done short of perhaps hitting the Lexus and trying to run that would make the Lexus driver’s reaction anything close to reasonable.

Considering the current political noise surrounding Elon Musk, Tesla, and the recent fallout from Musk’s connections to Trump’s administration, the incident could’ve been sparked by something far more inane.

Road rage is just about as pointless as on-road behaviors go. In this day and age, they’re even more so because tons of cars have onboard cameras built in. At the time of this writing, several people online are trying to help authorities track down the Lexus driver, and for what? They achieved nothing with their antics. Stay safe out there, folks.
