A Tesla Model X driver panicked when the spectators in a sideshow attacked him and hit several cars in his attempt to get away
An utterly wild video from over the weekend shows a sideshow takeover in Chicago that turned violent. Spectators in the middle of a road sat on and took photos with a stopped Tesla Model X. When the driver attempted to leave the scene, the mob attacked. The driver panicked and hit several cars while trying to escape. Sideshows and street takeovers are nothing new in the USA.
The driver then tries to squeeze between on-coming traffic and appears to scrape a few cars. It becomes stuck and the crowd assaults the car with even more force. Someone breaks out the rear glass, the Tesla reverses, and then moves forward again and hits more cars. Moments later, the driver reaches a point on the street where police are close by. Unsurprisingly, the crowd wilts and falls back as the Tesla drives to safety.
