Little did the woman realize she was being filmed by the smart car's nine on-board motion-detecting cameras
Woman is caught keying a Tesla in school parking lot causing $2,000 worth of damage - by the car's NINE on-board cameras
Colorado man Alan Tweedie's Tesla Model 3 car was keyed on Saturday
He left the car parked at a local high school in Broomfield during his daughter's soccer game and later discovered the scratches
His smart car's nine on-board motion-detection cameras caught the culprit
Footage shows a middle aged woman walking near the car with a key in her fist
She left a deep scratch that ran along the side of the vehicle and several scratches on the rear of the car
Woman will likely face felony charge for the damage estimated at $2,000
When he pulled up footage from his 2018 model car's nine motion-detecting cameras located in strategic places, he was shocked to see a woman walking suspiciously close to the side of his vehicle with a key in her fist.
Then I found one where a woman distinctly came around with the key in her hand. Stuck it right in the side, walked all the way around. Very angry, very purposeful, definitely trying to conceal it. You can see shes got it down by her hip, Tweedie said.
Tweedie said he doesn't recognize the woman in the clip, who appears to be a middle aged woman with white hair, wearing sunglasses, a yellow T-shirt and a plaid button-down.
Although Tweedie doesn't know why the woman would destroy his car, he's sure it wasn't a random incident.

They also "Rolling Coal" which is a slang term for having an illegally modified diesel truck to produce vast quantities of black smoke. They drive past a Tesla and Roll Coal to show their contempt for Tesla, Prius and other hybrid owners. They call it "Prius Repellent".

(33,289 posts)as similar to arsonists - they're vandalizing to deal with other issues they have - resentments, depression, anger. typical Trump voter problems.
I have a keyed car - a 2002 325i. it's not like it's fancy, but that's a significant expense.
