A driver performed a dangerous stunt in Los Angeles, accelerating up a hill and launching the car into the air. The LAPD is now looking for the driver of the rented Tesla, who crashed into trash cans and parked cars before fleeing.




What a douchebro.


EDIT to add:

‘A dangerous stunt’: Reward offered for information on driver who jumped Tesla in Echo Park

A failed stunt in Echo Park has the LAPD offering a reward for information that leads to the arrest of a driver of a rented Tesla that went airborne before colliding with two parked cars.

Video of the Sunday morning crash was shared by the Los Angeles Police Department Central Division on YouTube.

The LAPD said a driver of a rented 2018 Tesla Model S, which was originally identified as a Tesla S-BLM, performed a dangerous stunt near the intersection of Baxter and Alvarado streets around 12:10 a.m. The video shows the Tesla headed toward an intersection at a high rate of speed when it suddenly catches air and then comes down hard on its front wheels.

The vehicle then crashed into several trash cans and two parked cars, the LAPD said.

If they tried shooting with a pistol in each hand, they’d find out that isn’t like the movies either.

It's only funny if it doesn't happen to you. Kind of like when someone takes a shot to the nuts.

That "damage waiver" insurance protection you can buy don't cover things like that driver did. And it's all on video. Nope. Gonna be very expensive.

It's in the video around the 1:35 mark at the KTLA.com link and I heard it on their program this morning. I thought they said he pulled out a cat and a litter box on the subsequent segment.
