  1. well teslas are a sturdy car apparently

  2. I didn’t hear anyone mentioning the TESLA car, best car ever !!!

  3. God bless this family, someday Tesla cars will have the tech to prevent someone from causing an intentional accident if that is indeed what happened (so sad the state of this man’s mental health could deteriorate to the point of attempting to destroy they entire family).

  4. Neha is a solid 6. She got a body though. Not bad for an Indian. But no reason to drive her and the kids over a cliff. WTF dude!!!!

  5. Pretty much describes Tesla stock too.

  6. Well start banning people from buying cars. That car could’ve killed those kids

  7. Thank you Jesus for saving them .

  8. The "devil" was driving👹

  9. I love Tesla. Omg 🙏🙏🙏

  10. Tesla was the perfect car for this to happen in…
    1) Tesla safety rating saved their lives…
    2) The camera system provides all the evidence police need.

  11. Amazing vehicle. Grateful everyone is ok but father is a dirt bag.

  12. Tbg thank tesla for being so safe eith there cars! Any other car would have exploaded

  13. The Tesla video should be the next phase of this story. The event is likely saved from at least the time of the garde rail contact.

  14. Why did the driver do it????

  15. the guys biggest mistake….he was in a tesla.

  16. I don’t believe in miracles, but this certainly has a healthy smattering of luck mixed with some amazing engineering of the car. Safety engineers always have their hard work obfuscated by talk of ‘miracles’.

  17. I wonder if Tesla will get an improved crash rating?

  18. Honestly I’m not a fan of Tesla at all but holy smokes 250ft and they ALL survived??? good job engineers and first responders 👏🏼

  19. How is it that San Mateo can speculate the shot out of an event but can never get the truth and facts correct? Always drama…..

  20. The paparazzi needed to say the car is a Tesla hehehehe

  21. Elon, step up and give this lady and kids a new Tesla.

  22. Elon's advertising stunts know no end.

  23. Thank god teslas are built incredibly well too bad they probably didn’t have the ai couldn’t it recognize n break hard

  24. I bet the autopilot switched off less than a second before the crash.

  25. The headline should be that a guy tried to murder/suicide his whole family by driving off a cliff, but—of course—the more newsworthy part is that it was driving a Tesla. 🙄

  26. Let’s not forget the media was instantly calling for Elon Musks head when this was first reported. I wonder if they will apologize and show some humility. Nope they won’t.

  27. Car in the headlines is fine

  28. You can own a tesla and still be miserable. Make sure you are happy from within not just material

  29. This is what RelationsViolence looks like: being in constantly cornered personal space by erratic violent threat. It's not domestic.

  30. Angels protected this family.

  31. Am happy that no one died but the main thing am happy about is that the car was a Tesla… Meaning it does not run by gas

  32. this is one tragic ad

  33. How come nobody mentioned the safety systems on a Tesla? I mean they should not have survived 😮?If this doesn’t boost Tesla stock I don’t know what will?😊

  34. Im really impressed that they survived this considering they were in a car that you can't get wet.

  35. The headline is 'man drives family off cliff'. Using a heartbreaking tragedy as a political tool to ruin a man or his company is a good reason to unsubscribe from this 'news channel' (political tool).

  36. I cannot believe they survived. That's crazy. Sounds like a husband and father lost his mind while him an his wife were arguing. I've heard of men threatening to drive of a cliff while arguing with their spouses or partners.

  37. Why was he called a California Tesla driver? So if I wreak I will be called a Honda driver
