I guess we're doing the favor for him. The more attention he gets the more stunts he's going to pull, he has a death wish. His parents should send him to India to help with Covid relief instead of here wasting other people' time.

Don't think I would trust that guy to help with anything.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and have been seeing this twit all over the local news channels. He fails to see or acknowledge the danger he's exposing others to. Tesla's self-driving system can't respond to all kinds of emergency situations, so every time this f-wad pulls this stunt, he's risking death and injury to everyone around him. If he dies in a fiery crash, he deserves it!

This sycophant's main objective is to get the attention of his hero, Elon Musk, but, privileged POS's like this would be wise to fly low, under the radar, rather than drawing attention to themselves.

Either he is just incredibly stupid, or he is getting exactly what he wants - tons of attention. Or both.

This kid makes my blood boil. Amazing act he's putting on most likely for 'likes'. Suffice to say he's ignorant, arrogant, and somewhat devious. Spoiled beyond belief, probably hasn't worked a day in his life. Karma will smack him square in the face someday, I can't wait for that story to break.

Severe case of Affluenza. Not sure if he’s really rich or just pretending. I’ve never seen really rich people do this but then again he’s only 25 and clueless.

Very interesting video. On the one hand, yes, I agree that what he is doing is dumb and risky, at least from my point of view. But, on the other hand, IF he is as rich as he says he is, and in the position he is in, he's got the law, and the city, over a barrel. Yank his license and take away his car (or if the car is wrecked), he'll go out and just get another fake license and a new car. Remember, San Francisco is a Sanctuary City......you can probably get almost any kind of fake-ID there. They'd have to lock him up (or attempt to lock him up) to keep him off the streets.....and, then, a high-priced lawyer would get him out.

I agree with Wilson2000, BTW, that he may be trying to brown-nose Elon Musk.

That is NOT what a "Sanctuary City" means. You can't just go out criming with no repercussions. "High priced lawyers" don't "get you out"; there has to be a basis for it; thumbing your nose at authorities and committing the same crime again isn't a basis for getting out of jail without impunity. It's San Francisco, not Hollywood.

It actually means many things, but one of them is an easy evasion of the law.

They are more likely to get you out than rookies.

Unfortunately, there often isn't much difference...but I'm not going to make any more comparisons, because it might get too political.

It may mean many things to many people, like all terminology, but since I live in a sanctuary State, County and City, I can tell you what it means here. When an illegal immigrant is put in jail, upon release, the local government does not notify the Feds (ICE), to take custody of, and, deport the individual (per Federal law). Personally, I don't agree with "sanctuary," but nobody asked for me. Sanctuary is the result of politicians chasing the Latino vote. Latino's are the largest race/ethnic group in CA at 39%.

If our backseat Tesla driver was an illegal immigrant, the sanctuary status of San Francisco could apply to this case. My guess is that his parents are wealthy enough that they were able to "purchase" their whole family's citizenship.

im not sure what sanctuary state and Latinos have to do with this thread. But I have one comment about it. If you deport all the illegal immigrants from California, good luck finding people to do the jobs nobody else wants to do. All service industries have a huge labor crisis and it will only be exacerbated if we start deporting people. Not all illegal immigrants are terrible people who do drugs and use the system. Two of my workers came over illegally with their families from El Salvador and while they don’t have a way to become citizens, they are now permitted to work here. They pay taxes like everyone else, they have bought property and contribute to the system.
