Those poor kids
Wow. Telsa just got more cars sold possibly from this crash. That's a safe car, nobody died
Point blank >• he’s the devil
So she realizes that the bread winner is going to jail and changes her mind conveniently after surviving….what $$ does to people😢
He has the money
Just came here to see how many morons are showing off the new term they learned…"family annihilator". 😂
She probably fears him and knows what he is capable of prior, behind closed doors then driving off a cliff.
Absolutely a miracle they ALL survived
The reason she doesn’t want to charge him because she is jobless and she cant raise kids without him, she needs to work hard to raise so easy way is just let him free and easy money for lifetime
This is common in india for some women
Do Teslas drive people to depression?
😮❤glad they survived
forgiving him is crazy, hopefully she's not surprised when this guy starts going crazy on her with a knife or something. Those kids should be taken away
It's a Tesla. The car will provide more data than any one person could ever give
She’s getting a second chance at life but is going to put herself at risk again protecting him she should think long and hard about her life and her children’s lives.
Who else guessed it was a Doctor before they announced it?
True miracle. The family must have someone watching over them.
Both parents may end up losing their kids.
But theres more to this, a doctor driving a car worth more than some peoples home do not know how he will provide for their kids, sounds like he maybe facing malpractice charges or something.
Are they immigrants? If so why couldn’t they have died
Throw him in jail maybe that’ll knock some sense into Indian woman & make them break forced wedlock 😂
Literally the greatest ad for Tesla ever
NOBODY DIED? I need a Tesla wit da quicks!
Ban teslas! They're too dangerous!
good gawd I thought a second dude did this. Old story…. horrid.
You know when you drive off a cliff most likely you will die. This wife should wake up and realize they all could have died. Sometimes depressed people stay depressed. It's too dangerous to make the decision for her children to stay even if she loves him. It literally is a miracle they are all alive.
Well now, The what if game. What if they were fighting, and she grabbed the wheel and he is protecting her. Just saying.
wow that should be teslas advert for how safe their cars are. How did the battery bank in that car not burst into flames?
Doctor deserves to be charged with 3 counts of attempted murder, and now he can be somebody's girlfriend in prison. What a ungrateful narcissistic sociopath. The wife does not want to cooperate so she can maintain her doctor's wife lifestyle.
Many may not understand or might underestimate how manipulative and abusive narcissists can be. This lady might also be surround by family members that are making excuses for the doc and emotionally blackmailing the wife. She is a victim and none of us knows the extent of abuse she has had to survive. Abuse makes people to really self destructive things. Hopefully she and her babies stay safe and away from him, so that they can heal physically and mentally.
What a piece of crap.
Trippy mfers these days
Protect the kids since she won’t!
Why stick the word "Tesla" in this title? And if you just want to be precise then tell us the color.
Yes it was a Tesla but the driver did it intentionally guys.
Take the kids from her too!
God bless!
This is why foreign born women are key, they’re loyal to a fault. Domestic women will divorce you for a fart and then take half your stuff and kids away!
He's such a pssy in every way lol he tried to take his family down with him
Think God they were in a tesla
Protect your kids, not him.
I don't think so,,,it was an accident.
Depressed about what war?
What war? He is not Ukrainian lol. Other nationalities in other countries, that is not the USA, were far worse off than anyone driving a Tesla.😢😢😢, For his three threatened family members. But for him some psychological evaluation please and no visits with his kids unless its with a responsible adult until the kids are old enough to protect themselves against a murderous father.
Can’t believe no one died at 300 feet
Excited utterance. Glad they're alive!
Take them Children away!!!! They toxic
That’s actually kind of a great endorsement of Tesla’s safety ratings..
Am I the only person wondering: What war?
No need for her approval. Press charges.
