  1. How about those Twitter files?! 👀

  2. great ad campaign for Tesla

  3. Just few days ago they news titles was saying … it’s Tesla car fault and now they get the real story go figure 🙄

  4. Very traumatic for that family. Glad they survived. Obviously, that man was not mentally stable, as he was also planning to die. Sad situation .

  5. She was probably screwing someone else and getting ready to take his kids. I’m not supporting his decision, but we don’t have laws to protect him, only her. All speculation just like everyone else on here.

  6. Are we there yet
    Are we there yet
    Are we there yet
    Are we there yet
    Are we there yet
    Are we there yet

    Vroooommmmmm BANG

  7. Wow that Tesla is a tank. Might have to get one now

  8. MedMen Stock Moving up this Week! Set your Family up for Life. Best Brand in the Marijuana Industry! Buy MMNFF stock Today!!

  9. There should be a side story about how Tesla’s are so reliable that you can drive off 250 ft cliffs and survive.

  10. Hope he gets 10+ years

  11. Check the black box for the conversation with the wife .interesting?

  12. Must be another deranged liberal.

  13. How do they know he is to blame? Maybe it’s just another malfunction of technology? I’m not buying it.

  14. That was a great Tesla ad

  15. COWARD !!!
    Defund protective custody, that'll truly help with over population !!

  16. It's not miracle it is just great engineering from Tesla.

  17. Find it really strange how the media still includes the make of the car in every single headline. Really glad the wife and kids survived.

  18. This video should be played at every Tesla dealership. Talk about walking away from an accident. They would sell a billion more cars.

  19. Looks like Teslas are pretty good cars.

  20. Imagine thinking you can decide about someone elses life….

  21. Remember God loves you♥️!.
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏..
    He is coming back soon🥳😊……..

  22. Typical weak minded Californian

  23. Bullish Tesla stock indicator?

  24. So if you want to stay safe, buy a Tesla. Awesome structural integrity and highest score in safety. You may hate Elon, but the cars are the safest you can buy.

  25. Tesla must be a pretty great car wow Elon Musk is such a great guy because of his car they survived the left hate him and his cars are simply amazing

  26. May the family heal in safety while driver gets the help he needs—if this was a psychotic break rather than someone who had abused his wife for years.

  27. They are definitely going to be afraid of this guy and they should be. His cheese definitely slid off the cracker. Those poor children will probably end up with PTSD amongst other things.i hear a "divorce" coming….

  28. Says a lot about tesla cars.

  29. Some crazy free advertising for Tesla cad safety lol

  30. NEVER let Toonces drive the car….

  31. Doctor is sick mentally 😢
    Commit suicide is not the ending.
    Now doctor / husband will face the Judges.

  32. Good thing he wasn't in a gas powered vehicle. In a way this is kind of a win for tesla since they survived😅

  33. What what a miracle. 🙏

  34. YOU GET SICK OF THE FAMILEY ,GRT RID OF THEM, THE TRASH,.
