The driver of the Mercedes knowingly ran a red light, cutting the Model Y off. Surprised by the car’s arrival, Zack immediately honked before passing the vehicle. The maneuver was not appreciated by the other motorist.

For several hundred meters, the two vehicles drove side by side. Arrived at a red light, Zack realized that the driver of the Mercedes was talking to him. When he turned back to the individual, he noticed a gun pointed at him.

On the video recorded by the Tesla Model Y, we can clearly see the man pull out a gun and point it, smiling, at Zack. The firearm is quickly stored in the passenger compartment of the Mercedes, out of sight. The individual continued to exchange insults for a few seconds. As soon as the light turned green, Zack sped away from the Mercedes.

According to information from Wham Baam Dangercam, the owner of the Tesla Model Y has not not wanted to file a complaint with the police forces. The Internet user believes that it is impossible to find his attacker because the video does not show the license plate.

This is not the first time that Tesla car cameras have recorded a news item. At the end of 2020, a Tesla Model 3 filmed the attack on its owner near a charging station in Spain. Thanks to the video, the police were able to quickly arrest the attacker.
