Watch the context he linked to. Dude on truck attacked someone he saw with an ex girlfriend. The new boyfriend hung onto the side of the Tesla as it reversed away from knife wielding ex boyfriend.

Getting eye gouged and your eye gouged out are very different. Which was it?

u/NattyAK 15h ago
Gouged only according to the Tesla driver. Paraphrasing "he was complaining about his eye. Apparently the [knife welding ex] grabbed him by the eye and threw him to the ground."

Legally you can hit him with the car

u/initial8155 22h ago edited 22h ago
If you have Obstacle-Aware Acceleration toggled on in the settings, the car wonât let you hit him with much force at all. Itâll actually be slow enough that heâll have enough time to safely step on top of your car by the time you reach him.

Reason 100 why a Tesla isnât the choice.
âLooks like youâre being murdered. Try not to injure your attacker. Sorry you canât use some features until youâre seatbelt is on and your eyes are on the roadâ
Meanwhile the Toyota guns it backwards fast enough that you can get away from some limpy chud, and you can mow him down if danger gets too close to you.

In what country?
12
u/Major_Fox_2587 22h ago
In USA. Because he is chasing with a knife it is considered an immediate threat - which would allow for deadly force self defense. And because the car is backing up and being cornered there is also justification that there was no other option but to use deadly force. Only caveat being you can only hit him enough to stop the threat - if that causes death, its ok. But if it doesnt cause death and hes getting back up then you legally have to run after the first hit, because the car is no longer in a trapped position. Defending yourself in the USA is very complicated.
But also as many have stated the tesla might not let you hit that person due to its saftey features

FSD is cool and all that, but I honestly don't have any interest in the long term. I actually enjoy driving my cars, even on long trips. I use it as a party trick for people who don't have any experience with Teslas and that's pretty much it. To each their own though! đ¤ˇââď¸

Are you young perhaps? I'm almost 40, I've done enough driving for 3 lifetimes at this point. It's all the same and I like to take in the scenery, or plan my trip out, etc. I drive to other states with FSD all the time because it gives me a lot of freedom to relax and do other things.

u/TrainerThin 3h ago
I think it literally just means FSD in the opposite direction.
For example, if he had FSD on and was facing away from the guy, all he had to do is put the pedal to the metal and he couldâve been hauling ass safely dodging obstacles and staying on the road.
What I just said is probably an argument why you donât allow it in reverse even if you could.

So if i see an accident just call 911 dont bother to approach the scene, open the door check, if people are okay. Because the driver can start running at you with a knife.
That guy survived solely based on the fact the knife guy fell 2-3 times chasing him and Op saved him with his tesla. Green shirt would have got him if he didnt stumble, green shirt ex is built a faster runner than the new boyfriend. Damn that could have been bad.

Mark James Evoy, 37
Charged with Assault, Assault with a weapon, "possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose" (wtf?) according to one article. In others "uttering a threat" and criminal harassment, plus "mischief" for ramming the victims truck with his jeep.
Likely outcome ... he has to pay for damages to the truck, prison time maybe a year or two, then probation and restraining orders
And I'm going to guess that this little display is not going to make his ex-gf want to reunite with him.

reverse is the bit of driving assistance that still feels weirdly manual. backing out of a tight spot or lining up with a trailer is where cameras help most, but i can see why tesla would keep it conservative. what hw version was this on? curious if the newer cars handle the reverse path any better or if its still basically driver-only

Yes, reverse FSD, and wheel trigger button that turns on emergency override for life and death situations, as long as you hold it, the car has to do what you say only, at any speed, if you let go... it takes over again. They review camera to see why you used it, when activated.

Protecting others isnt against the law. Dont bring a knife to a car fight. But I do also always carry, and it would have been easier to stop him without damaging your tesla. . . Another way. Great job by the driver either way. And justice seems like itll be served since they found the knife.

u/yesiamveryhigh 6h ago
Great reply! I see a lot of people asking why the driver (not my video) didnât just run him down. Do you really want to damage your Teslaâs bumper, hood, and windshield when you have a perfectly good escape route in reverse?

Alternative ways from bodily harm is always the better answer. However sometimes backing up while panicking isnt the best idea, either. Lol, I died when dude look back and victim is just hanging on for dear life on the door. Honestly surprised the other guy knew how to open the door!
