He probably thought that was just a hill. Apparently he doesn't know SF streets very well. Great for epic movie car chases, not so much for driving like a maniac

do we know it was a plaid? I did see headlines saying it was a 'brand new', '$150k car' so maybe..

He's lucky the cars from did shatter. The problem is very little consequences. Probably rich parents that will shield him or them

No one jumped that hill on accident. It's a very known street and there's have many, many people that have jumped motorycles and cars and whatever else there in the past. This guy in the Tesla is complete scum in my opinion. He did this with multiple people and a CAT they he had just taken off the street. No remorse or recourse for the people that could have been killed, the person's car they hit, or even the simple annoyance for the neighbor that has to buy new trash and recycling bins for their home.

It's the East side of the Hollywood Hills near Downtown LA. Lots of hills in the LA area, Baldwin hills, Pasadena, Azuza etc.
