DeShawn was totally at fault. He should've slowed down to let the truck pass and get ahead of him. And veering across 3 lanes of traffic to take an exit without looking for other cars (as he admitted) and incredibly irresponsible.
I agree but fight or flight.
If he thought he was about to get shot at his actions are understandable; better to get into an accident than shot… plus he accepted all responsibility according to their video so…
@Infinity It’s easy to say What you wouldn’t do when you’re not in that situation. Honestly if that was me and I thought somebody was pointed gun at me I’d rather cause a crash then get shot
@Infinity After seeing that incident in Florida where the road rager shot through his own car at the car he started shit with.
@Infinity "The pickup didn't even have his windows down...."
he wasn't doing the sensible thing of not driving dangerously like that so you can't really trust that he will do something sensible like lowering his window before shooting.
So cause a accident and possibly killing someone, then to think he has a weapon when the windows are rolled up, hmm make sense! Why not just stay behind and slow down. Hmm
Do not try to run or outrun another vehicle on crowded traffic. That is insanity. You see the result.
So you’d rather get shot?
Well, if that truck was pointing a gun towards the Tesla, that would’ve been the only way to avoid him. Me personally, I would’ve tried and accelerated the heck out of there, and put my driving skills to full use. But if there was a lot of traffic, you have a 95% chance of getting into an accident.
normally I would agree and a bit more planning could have helped avoid an accident but knowing there was a shooting there not long ago and having a truck driving aggressively against you then pulling out and unknown object pointing it towards you tends to make people panic and make mistakes.
I would probably either have slammed on the breaks, floored it or swerved same is Deshawn and the odds are high that it would have caused an accident.
at least Deshawn took on fault for the accident unlike some people who would try to blame the other driver or make excuses.
@@cabbybrocolimania5297 No; We slow down and let them race on ahead of us spreading their cheer and love of life.
@@unclegeorge7845 slow down and hope they don't just slow down with you or get in front and break check you or just do what they did at the start and swerve side to side in front of you.
When you deal with road rage, my suggestion is to slow down and let them go (generally, each scenario is unique). We all know that people treat the road as race track, with positions and points, so accelerating in front makes them feel that they losing/falling behind/beaten and make them more aggressive. Put on some Whitney Houston or Yanni or Disney Frozen and "let it go".
They clip was so hard to watch
Just calm down and slow down. The trucker totally got to him
My attitude is "if it is that important to you, have at it, it's all yours."
100%. People who cannot manage their anger or emotions should not be behind the wheel. Calm down - let it go. It's not worth totaling your car, having your insurance rates going through the roof, going to jail or going to the hospital.
Road rage is a growing problem on the roads/ highways that needs to be handled somehow.
Americans don't understand this bro
very true. as soon as I see someone driving like a jerk, wether he's aggressive, drives like he's drunk or falling asleep, my first reflex is to put some distance. 99% of the time it doesn't involve trying to pass/outrun them. especially on a busy highway. very poor decisions that he paid deeply. still hope he could use the dashcam to prove that the truck driver had some responsibility. but cutting across 4 lanes of busy highway doesn't sound like good idea. if someone wants to shoot you, you are probably safer behind him than that in front or next to him.
1st clip Deshawn: There is this pedal on the left called a brake pedal. If someone is blocking you on the freeway, gently depress the pedal. This will make your vehicle slow down. Slow down to get a a sufficient distance and most of the time you'll find the other driver will lose interest and keep on going. I've used this method a few times and it worked every single time (whether instantly or after a while). It is also useful on those who speed up and hover block when you put your indicator on to change lanes.
By wanting to be first and trying to keep on passing him you are prolonging the incident . In your case you ended up crashing into an innocent person. Take a look for that brake pedal when you get your new car.
Clips 6 & 7 is pretty normal for parking lots. This is why I purchased a car with dents. I don't care if people crash their cart into my car (as long as its not intentional ramming of course)
Good plan. SOMETHING is going to blemish your paint. It's just not worth worrying about. Buy something used with some marks on it and save a ton of money. Nobody else cares about your new car after the first few months so worrying about how nice it always looks I think is pointless.
Good advice about slowing down. But the car is a Telsa which means it has one pedal driving mode. He could bring the car to a complete stop without ever touching the brake pedal. This ability to stop without using the brakes is why brake pads last a long time in EVs with one pedal driving.
But this is all technicality. He should have slowed down.
@@hughmccurdy3348 tbh even in an ICE car you can mostly drive with just the gas or gas and clutch and just use the brakes for the last 20 or so km/h.
The pedal on the left is the clutch pedal.
@@tammo33 Not typically to be expected in the majority of the American car market and definitely not so in a EV.
SMH, deshawn allowed the truck driver to win 🤦🏽♂️ I bet he laughed as the accident happened while driving off 🤦🏽♂️
I know right. That mf totally dominated his a$$.
I'd be happier with an accident then being shot at, panic can take over real quick and cause mistakes to happen and Deshawn only really had 4 options all of which sucked.
1, stay driving and hope it's not a gun being pulled. 2, break hoping not to be rear ended or having the truck driver slow down or even break check him. 3, pull ahead and hope he can stay in control and avoid cars while hoping the truck driver doesn't keep up or chase him down. 4, swerve trying to take a late exit or get behind other cars.
he did cause an accident but he owned up to it and he was in a horrible situation where most people would do something stupid.
I just hope that the video eventually made it to the police and the truck driver got sighted for reckless driving or more.
@@kuma_score7536 he could’ve died too, that barrier was so close to being hit if he would’ve hit that and then the car at the same time it wouldn’t look good. All he had to do was switch over and stay in the slow lane and get off at the next exit and not the one he tried to get off at.
@@T3chAndThings panic can take over real quick and in deshawns mind that probably wasn't even an option.
best case he would have slowed down or moved to the slower moving lanes and the truck driver didn't chase him but I doubt deshawn would wanna risk that and he hardly had time to think about it carefully so he made a split second decision in a moment of panic and it ended in an accident, if he hit the barrier it would have sucked but Teslas are really safe and coming from the side like that he'd not really come to a dead stop so although it would suck he wouldn't be in any real danger compared to the possibility of the truck owner shooting a gun at you or you trying to speed up possible causing an accident at higher speeds.
@@kuma_score7536 you seem really determined to defend a guy that caused an accident because he wanted to "win". I recommend you sit down and think about what kind of person you are and start accepting responsibility for your actions instead of trying to pass the buck all the time.
to the man of the last video. congrats on your degree and whoever your wife is...she the one man, don't let her go!!
but he is going to be paying for it for the next 5 years. it was still a nice surprise for xmas.
You have seen the price of gas lately? Yeah I know it's not a cheap car to buy and he could have bought a used car ( even though used car prices are currently through the roof) but that's the car he wanted and it helps offset the initial purchase price by being electric.
@@brianlewis8320 People do not calculate the cost savings. Estimated $13,000 over 5 years
@@b4804514 Savings on gas are higher here in Europe but I would still not be able to make up for the higher purchase price of an electric car, let alone of a Tesla.
probs his money he didn't look very happy
Let me get this straight, Another driver spooked you, so you drive erratically and crash into another car? Would you make this same decision if you faced this problem again?
They probably would over the possibility of getting shot
He should have just fell back instead of driving in a manner he didn't have the skill set to do. He then caused another person's day to be ruined by hitting them trying to be all fast and furious taking the exit at the last possible second . With all the cameras and Blindspot detection on this thing he didn't know the other car was already in possession of the lane . Just cause your scared doesn't justify the way this played out . Lots of other safer ways of handling this .
You probably would have done worst because all you do is comment in CZcams
Yes because tesla drivers are never in the wrong.
Uh, spooked is a pretty light word.
Pertaining to the opening story, what's a sure-fire strategy to escalate the road rage? That's right, pass the road rager thereby triggering them even more (no pun intended). Road ragers by their nature are in a big hurry. You want them to go away, just get over into the far right lane and go really slow. They will want nothing to do with you and merrily head off to their next idiotic confrontation. And yet, over and over again, I see people in Teslas using the power and torque to zip past the road rager, only to have them catch up soon enough and continue the raging (but now, they're really pissed).
Yep. Deshawn had opportunity to exit while the truck was in front of him, avoiding the situation altogether. But instead he continues to ego battle with the truck.
Personally, I find just driving slower to not be all that effective. It just makes it easy for them to get out in front and smash on the breaks or swing at me while almost getting rearended by traffic. The best outcomes I've experience is strategically placing myself in traffic so they can't get to me easily while I make for a junction/off-ramp or wait on them to brake hard to then zip around and fully commit until I can get to a junction or off ramp. I actually think Deshawn didn't utilize his cars power at all really. All he did was go around and then dootal in the lane like nothing was happing when he had a clear shot for the exit at the start if he had just punched it.
@@mrvelocity9613 It's effective if you drive slower and then change lanes to the right to follow what should be a slower car (and follow close enough that the road rager can't try to squeeze in between).
I'm still looking for the pun
is it a road rager? or is it just the average truck driver that gets angry when you pass them
Deshawn made a mild case into such a dangerous situation. He could have just let the other driver be but instead he almost caused so many more accidents.
Like Deshawn said, the driver was pointing at something. Not a mild case cause it could've been a weapon. Road rage like that in general isn't mild
@@mannyislikethat Just because it could have been a weapon does not mean it was. So many people pretend to have a gun to seem intimidating but are just pointing their fingers or holding something else.
I was with you assuming there was no actual gun. If you play frame by frame at 0:30 (with comma and period keys) you can see something fall down and shatter. Maybe glass from something he threw. Maybe something one of them ran over. Maybe it was a window being shot out. It doesn't make sense that the tesla driver wouldn't mention hearing a gunshot though.
@@cameronculin2105 Just because it can't always be a gun doesn't mean it's not going to be a gun.
@@triparadox.c Lol sorry Im from Canada and here people dont drive around waving guns at people so I would never assume someone would have one.
Ryans christmas prezzie was the best one by far, even down to the little toy car as a joke. :)
of course it was the best. After all he paid for it by working 2 jobs all year 😆
@@SickPrid3 Don't you mean he will pay it for next 5 years by working 3 jobs?
@@SimonSays- Not all people get loans. Some people prefer to save up the money _before_ buying the expensive thing.
Every thing I've had and ever will have is purchased with cash because banks are evil.
Now he needs to get a 3rd job.
Thats an awesome wife right there. He was like a kid on Christmas!
Why do I have a feeling Deshawn’s and the pickup’s story started well before this? If he was really concerned, he would have just slowed down rather than acting just as erratic/aggressive.
Something tells me there was a bit more going on in the first video, before the clip starts. Swerving in and and out of traffic, cutting off 6-7 cars to "avoid" the road rager is an interesting storyline for sure! At least this one had a gun (that we couldn't see) to justify the outrageous crash.
Also "fleeing" but letting the truck catch him up again. Why not just go 140+ and gtfo out of there, speeding is better than the potentially fatal accident his dangerous driving caused.
DeShawn caused the whole thing.
true lol. i wouldnt wonder if he only sent the part of the video where the Truck river did the wrong
Tesla drivers are the same people who love to play victims. It's NEVER their fault. They NEVER instigate anything....
Deshawns fault slow down and let the other guy get ahead of you.
Damn... Totalled a Plaid. Since it is his fault, his insurance rate is now to the 🌚...
and what's to say that the truck driver wouldn't slow down, get in front and drive badly like at the start or break check him?
in situations like that it's hard to keep your cool contrary to what many people believe and in a situation like that his options where to risk being in a shooting or do a dangerous move hoping to get away and that's what he did.
@@kuma_score7536 at the end of the day he made a bad call, potentially injuring the other driver .. hes obviously not capable to drive a high performance car as he could of got away easily .. after all, its the fastest production road car .. ever .. poor driver skills
@@kuma_score7536 "contrary to what people believe" is a weak appeal. Either you do it or you don't. Whether or not it's difficult is determined by your discipline as a person and a driver.
I hate it when the A hole that causes the accident gets away scott-free.
pro tip: when on the highway cars in front of you are suddenly slowing down hard, put your warning lights on until traffic has slowed down behind you,
pretty much standard in germany when a traffic jam happens, even though no one teaches that and no rules says to do that,
just simple common sense to tell traffic behind you to pay attention and slow down.
I think it's a known fact all across the EU.
Americans have other driving habits.
I learned that in highschool in drivers Ed
From memory it is not just standard in Germany, it's actually the law.
one of my friends does this, since he was hit by a drive texting and driving.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz If it's a law then i never heard of it, for me it was a just a common sense, monkey see, monkey do thing.
Instantly started doing it myself after seeing it the first time. It just makes sense if you don't want the next car plowing into your rear.
ALWAYS STAY BEHIND AN INSANE DRIVER!! As long as he is in front, he cannot harm you! Back off a REAL good distance and then getting off the Hway is easy!
then they stop and wait for you. Bullies don't take yes for an answer. It's a signal to bully you some morre.
They will brake check you
Until they stop and get out of their car. What bad advice.
@@summertyme5748 Driving based on fearful amplification of perceived threat is dangerous driving. The man needs training or he's gonna kill someone.
@@ashton9699 Oooooo good luck with that option. Its on them If i hit the gas if they play that game
Why on Earth would you try to speed up to get away from a road rager that is in front of you. That makes absolutely no sense.
🤡
So the Plaid driver escapes the road rager truck by speeding up and cutting off several other innocent drivers ultimately cutting across multiple lanes and hitting another car and lucky there was not injury or death. Endangering others is not how you handle it. Really doubt he saw a gun being pointed at him, likely just trying to justify his story.
Sorry but he's in a Tesla, if everyone else's fault they didn't clear a way for him to swerve across four lanes.
It did happen in Texas, so, its entirely plausible. Maybe the Tesla driver cut off the pick up, and that really pissed him off. I think because the Tesla sped up probably just pissed him off more. Maybe he didn't have a gun but the fact that the pick up guy was probably scared the brown stuff out of him.
Mind was playing tricks on him when he saw “what seemed to look like a gun being pointed at him” smh yea right 🤦🏻♂️
Bruh he was in a plaid could of easily just sped up and dipped
It’s because teslas drivers have no balls . females are more tough then some of these marks driving there vegan car , with both hands on wheel and seat all the way tf up surrounded with cameras and equipped with vegan speed isn’t enough sometimes .
Idk what to think about the first one... I'm pretty sure there's something we haven't seen before the video. There are lunatic people out there but targeting an specific car without any reason in the middle of traffic... strange
Yeah, I saw my fair share of road rage, and people don't "usually" randomly freak out at someone. I saw lane hoggers get bottles and trash thrown at them, and get the brake check after a pass a few times. And of course, the middle finger.
But who knows... Dangerous move anyways, swerving across the entire highway like that in a vehicle as heavy as that truck.
Edit: I do think Tesla's get a bit of extra road rage because people feel their tax money is going towards buying someone a "luxury car" or an "expensive toy". But it still is usually just a middle finger, or a brake check to make the car slow itself down...
Personally, I like to blend in, Tesla's get too much attention for me, I don't want people taking pictures of my car, or assuming who I am. Wether I drive my truck or my civic, no one gives a s either way.
@@volvo09 I've been lucky to not see a lot of roadrage but I've seen a ton of jackass drivers who have no business to be on the road so it's not a far stretch to believe all the unprovoked roadrage I see especially when I've had it happen to friends and family although be it in mild cases.
I've even met people who will openly talk about their hate for certain things and try to destroy them or make bad situations without being able to give a reason for their hate or justify their behavior.
@@kuma_score7536 alright, you're definitely the first driver. I hope your insurance rate is through the roof.
Agree
Deshawn had opportunity to exit while the truck was in front of him, avoiding the situation altogether. It makes no sense why he needed to try so hard to speed past the truck, and in doing so stay within proximity of a driver who supposedly had a gun. And the genius decides to total his Tesla to end it all.
Sweet present he got from his wife! That was awesome to see!
The accidents were insane to watch!
First guy was letting paranoia get to him badly, there's no way he saw anything on the inside of that dark tint glass. Was just getting in his own head and saw something that wasn't there. 100%
Should have brake and remain behind the pick up truck...
Instead he continued to accelerate like a dumas
Yea ive been that high before too
With a name like Deshawn you can tell he has been dodging gats since he was a shawty.
Deshawn is a clown and I hope he remains at fault. “This guy might have a gun, I should get in front of it to make sure I don’t get shot!”
Yup. DeShawn basically street raced with a truck "out of fear" and then posted the video online as if he was a victim
The last video was so wholesome. What a sweet family.
Thank you ❤
Wow the last guy (Ryan) is truly a kind soul, I can tell he loves to laugh and is very considerate, you can tell simply by his actions, instead of being the first one to sit in the Tesla, he let his son go first, so much respect! Congrats Ryan!!!!
Exactly it was properly wholesome - tale tell sign for me was when he let his son sit in it first and then when was checking the trim pieces on the door panel! Such a nice guy!
I saw no hug, I saw no kiss, I heard no thank you to his wife who brought the car for him fir Christmas. This was a short clip, maybe it's in the other video. 🤷🏿♀️
@@mscardioqueen uh well at the end she did say It was from Santa, so...
Why do people think they have to speed up to try to avoid a road rage incident? Stay behind, ignore, exit safely.

Most accidents in these videos are 100% avoidable if people would be doing their jobs correctly, that is, driving correctly in this case (and some taking care of their shopping cart to make sure it doesn't roll off into another car). What this video does that others don't is show a grand finale, the guy who has two jobs and was able to graduate got the perfect gift. That is a perfect example of every person in the video doing their job right! Congratulations and enjoy the new Model 3 (2022 model based on the wood trim on the door). Cheers
Deshawn learned an expensive lesson. Don't try to run away from a road rager. Slow down and exit the freeway safely if necessary. He's lucky he didn't kill anybody.
That's an awesome gift. Congratulations on the commencement and the Model 3
Thank you.
That's an awesome gift if she bought it with cash. If she indebted her family to buy a toy she's an idiot.
That guy definitely deserves a tesla after getting his masters degree and working 2 jobs....you should be proud
And being jacked on top of that. That’s like a 3rd job on its own
Nice
DeShawn should never be allowed to drive again, I know it was fight or flight reaction but he should have slowed down instead of trying to outrun, thank god the people who he crashed into survived and he didn't cause a multi car pile up because of his stupidity.
That last story actually brought tears to my eyes. What an incredible spouse. How beautiful.
Thank you ❤️
It made me wonder if a Tesla could last long enough to become a family heirloom. Back in the day with analog vehicles something like this might be lovingly cared for and passed down through generations. It was able to be independently serviced and maintained no matter what happened to the manufacturer years or decades after purchase and could theoretically exist in a fully functional state forever, even if that means fabricating out of production parts. Making a replacement mechanical part is feasible, but getting around all the code and dependency on being connected seems to make it a lot less likely that his grandkids would be able to drive this vehicle in a half century from now the same way many families have heirloom vehicles, some over 100 years old that are still able to be appreciated and enjoyed.
It kind of brings a tear to my eye in a different way, a disposable plastic culture of today probably means that most modern vehicles won't continue being the physical connections to the past that classic and antique heirlooms are today.
@@rustymustard7798 There is no reason why electric vehicles couldn't last over 100 years. Granted you will need a battery change on regular intervalls. Expensive right now, but battery prices will for sure drop from the current levels with time. EVs drive just fine without being connected to the Internet.
@@NoMoYOUsernames Yeah, but will Tesla still offer software support for these older vehicles in 100 years? That's the big problem i see, if Tesla and other brands that have closed source, proprietary software a LOT of vehicles will be useless as soon as Tesla stops supporting older models.
I don't doubt all the physical parts can survive, the big unknown is when Tesla decides your vehicle is 'too old'.
This was never a problem but since a Tesla is so dependent on cloud and centralized digital services i could easily see them discontinuing support for older vehicles. Tesla wants to eliminate private vehicle ownership entirely, do you think they won't brick your car and tell you 'too bad" in 20 years?
That's the biggest problem i see and why i'll never fall for these scams. You don't actually own it if you don't have access to service and repair and have to ask a corporation 'pretty please' to use your own property. No thanks, i still believe in freedom, personal ownership, and right to repair. I don't know why anyone would WANT to 'own' a vehicle with such potential for the company to monitor and restrict how i use it. Tesla is such a scam and y'all are falling for it.
@@rustymustard7798 You base just about everything in that comment on something I already told you is incorrect, and your comment comes off as an attempt at creating FUD and not much else.
I already said "EVs drive just fine without being connected to the Internet".
Teslas can actually be driven even if the screens are black and not working, atleast that is the case for Model S and X.
Tesla as a company has this far been very friendly and helpful with our vehicle, even now when most of it is out of warranty, so I'm not worried at all for the future.
If it's a scam it's a weird one, cause I'm saving money on it every day...
And I haven't kept any of my previous cars for 20 years yet, the one I've owned for the longest stretch is an old Audi A4 Torsen-Quattro with manual transmission which I've had for 18 years. Only reason why I still have it is because it's the best and most fun car I've ever driven on snow and ice. It's just a cheap toy at the moment.
Besides, I doubt I'll be alive to enjoy any of my cars once they hit 100 years of age...
I drive a Honda Accord and a couple days ago I saw a white Tesla behind me with double the standard following distance I knew he watched this channel and so do I!
Man I avoid Hondas like the plague , M3P.
Too much following distance is bad.
That last one was fantastic!
I agree, very well deserved. His hard work was rewarded, that's how life should work.
Thank you for the good comments. I worked extremely hard.
It is never good to outrun a road rage situation. Most of these angry rage drivers have places to go and things to do. Thus it is best to drop speed to the speed limit. Usually the rage drivers can not do that.
No. The dude in the truck was brake checking himand slowing down traffic across 3 lanes. And the tesla was a plaid model S, able to outrun practically anything up to 120-130. Punching it when he had some clear road ahead of him at :25 and getting some distance would have been the best move. But this guy was just tooting along with traffic.
@@tv321123 yea, it would have been better for him to speed up after passing the truck, but you can tell that hes not experienced cutting up or handling the car (especially a 5000lb tesla) at speed. Lucky the crash wasnt worse
@@tv321123 that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You'll run out of battery so fast at those speeds, you'll just be. a sitting duck after you're low on battery. Meanwhile, the truck will have no problem beating you on range.
The plaid get 248 miles at 75 mph. You'll get less than 100 miles at 120 mph, even worse if you go faster, and this is at 100% capacity. Unlike gas stations, there isnt a charging station every few miles. Not to mention, he won't be able to push at 120 for very long due to traffic or without getting killed or killing someone else, giving that guy in the pick up a chance to catch up. Your reckless driving will just motivate the drive to put. a bullet through your head once he does.
The best thing you can do is slow down, and change lanes and avoid being behind them. Based off how the Tesla driver was driving, I assume the pick up driver got cut off and pissed him off. Trying to get away only pissed him off more. Slowing your ass down is the only way to get off their radar.
@@joemann7971 if there was no traffic that Tesla would gap that truck in literally 3 secs I don’t think you realize how fast these things are
@@ericship8383 based off how traffic is in the video though, that doesnt seem to be the case. Its pretty risky. He should have just slowed down and got off. If you're trying to take the route that gets you out alive, you're best trying to lose him some other way. Basically what he tried to do, but without the crashing part.
What I’ve learned is if you’re going to park in a shopping center, try and park on the highest point in the parking lot so carts are less likely to fly your way
@10:10 Four months for a body shop to repair a car, that is ridiculous.
Blame Tesla, shit repair
Deshawn should stop taking his gang beefs to the freeway
"Tried to put distance between the other car and themselves" seems to be a constant statement as we see drivers accelerating quickly. Enjoy the acceleration of that great car, but the best place to be when a psycho is in the area is well behind. Utilize that awesome regenerative braking and allow the idiot to go ahead. Queue the exception - "But what if they slow down as well, then what are you going to do"? Listen, if the idiot wants you so bad that he is willing to put his vehicle in reverse, you have a situation that would warrant a 911 and then yes extreme reactions would be justified for safety.
The majority of the idiots just don't want you to pass as they hate your vehicle or your driving habits. Either way, you will be unable to convince them otherwise. Be safe and keep them far ahead of you when you can.
To the driver in the first video; slowing down is sometimes the better option.
Awesome to the Guy in the last clip maintaining 2 jobs and getting a degree. I'm blown away. Plus his wife getting him a Tesla. that's Love.
Thank you, and I appreciate that very much.

Now he needs those two jobs to pay off the car loan, lol. Instead of being smart with the money, they bought an overpriced toy car.
The fact that some people get all up in their feels enough for them to get violent about what someone else chooses to drive (or literally anything anyone else chooses to do that has no immediate or obvious impact on them or anyone else) has always just fascinated me tbh. It's completely illogical.
It's a supposedly free country so why so mad bruh? It's so weird.
It’s not what you drive that makes people angry, it’s how you drive it that triggers people. Tesla’s are electric and have instant torch and acceleration so most drivers think they can get away with anything up against other cars.
@@hongmindu5023 I don't drive a Tesla. The fact that rolling coal on Teslas exists at all already proves you wrong. The fact that there are numerous videos of angry dudes keying parked Teslas proves you wrong. People don't act the same way toward supercars.
You can pretend it's something else all you'd like I guess but it's obvious.
@@tazhienunurbusinezz1703
You are 100% correct there are a lot of people that cannot stand these cars they hate them and they hate the owners not to mention that the owners have no idea how to handle the power rather the instant acceleration because of the torque that's involved 100% torque the second you tap the go pedal people can't even drive regular cars then you going to put them behind a thousand horsepower car without any special training they should require a class. Like giving a dumbass a 500 magnum for his first gun.
@@Mr.Robert1 I agree with you on that and this is the problem I see with these new electric cars that have instant torque and insanely high horsepower. They really should require some sort of training. Or these manufactures need to tone it down.. I can already see more accidents or high speed chases as these cars become more affordable.
To all the Tesla drivers out there, the Plaid is not a sports cars in the curves, it's a ridiculously fast straight line vehicle. Please don't confuse it for a sports car or you will crash it in turns and worse, injure or kill someone. The best way out of road rage is at the next exit.
There goes his safety score and his insurance! Truck driver is enjoying it! I would just slowly pace back,
Deshawn is an idiot. Backed off, got over, job done. But no, Deshawn has to go on to cut everyone off making risky passes.
It’s not even hindsight advice, Deshawn was done, out of harms way, and able to keep an eye on the truck.
It would be funny if another dashcam channel turns out footage of Deshawn nearly killing himself on that barrier before ruining someone’s week.
Also super convenient the clip starts middle of the incident. We are supposed to believe DeShawn did nothing to cause it
Agreed. I'm also pretty sure he did something to piss the guy off but is playing the innocent victim card and only showing the video when the truck got aggressive.
@6:32 I wouldn't say the Crown Vic was disintegrating... just the way the bumpers lined up... im sure they could fix the vic for pretty cheap.
Yeah and properly not a 4 month wait.
I give it a week or 2
DeShawn was deffo at fault for speeding and swerving between lanes, slowing down would've been the best option. He not only put himself at risk but others too, many others, including the people he straight-up hit in the end.
I started watching you when you had 17 k subscribers. It’s amazing how far you’ve come in so little time, keep up the great work
Those custom door sills on the last car are fire. I wonder how she got it done?
That was so much harder than I expected lol. I finally found someone who made sills solely for the Model S and X that was willing to make these for me! He said he just does it as a hobby during retirement! I found his work on a 3 year old CZcams video!! 😳 The sills are my favorite part!
@@kaylalavallee9328 links plz
It honestly looks to me that the Tesla drive and the truck were both racing through traffic as to get ahead of one another and the Tesla actually lost. Stop making it out as the Tesla driver was innocent. They were both road raging.
Right? Dudes just paranoid...
"It looked like he was pointing something at me!"
Ya... probably his middle finger lmfao
@@woodlandvoodoo5041 I had a guy yesterday trying to do this shit to me in Houston. These third world dipshits are getting real here.

Dude isn’t too bright. To deal with a road rager you slow down to put distance between them, not try to out run them. Smh.
Legend has it that Ryan still hasn't thanked his wife
ikr
Even better.... he ordered me a Model X 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hahaha lol
I just bought a Tesla Model 3 Performance and my sister #HondaBumped me with her CRV
I avoid Hondas like the plague!
Wow 😳😳
SHOW IT TO WHAM BAAM!
@@Rockethead293 definitely
Ending was so wholesome! Loved it!
After watching all these episodes with those disrespectful truck drivers it kept me wondering: Is the person who sent the footage really "had no idea" what the truck driver was up to? Maybe it's better to have everyone send the whole footage instead of the clipped one so we'd know whether the tesla driver did something wrong in the beginning.
I'm model Y owner and have many friends who drive a tesla. But we've never encountered truck drivers like this, which seems very usual in this channel.
The cammer is one hundred percent not disclosing the whole story
I wish the Christmas present video had come with a loving thank-you hug!
He was in too much shock lol
Good point.
2:25 that’s a Ford Fiesta not a Ford Focus
5:06 I think it’s the woman’s fault because she didn’t pay attention to the cart, leading it to hit the tesla.
I don’t even own a Tesla, I just like seeing these videos
DeShawn had plenty of opportunities to actually slow down and have the truck in front of him.
He was probably afraid considering the truck was trying to block him.
@@davidg8628 at one point he was several lanes to the right then sped up to cut back closer to the truck. He was an idiot acting like a fool. I feel bad for the person in the Chevy he carelessly hit. Hope Chevy person sues to the point he can't afford another plaid.
@@chuckstephan So, you are just going to completely ignore the fact that the truck was also swerving and trying to block the Tesla which was what scared him in the first place.
@@davidg8628 no but speeding around just to get infront or near him just added fuel to the fire, even if he was the aggressive. As soon as he got lanes over should have stayed there to avoid further confrontation. He let his ego and his expensive car play the idiots game in the truck and he wound up losing big time. At then end of the day he wrecked that Chevy, completely his fault.
@@chuckstephan sad part is that because of DeShawn’s schizophrenic episode he caused an innocent person to be inconvenienced
Dashawn was a fool, totally his fault.
Also, i mean would u rather get shot and killed or get possibly injured? Not a fool, but it was his fault @suspicionofdeceit
@@Drag0nmaster or you could go forward
What would you do if you had someone pointing a gun at you in a car?
@Dragonmaster what would have happened if it was not a gun?
@@simplysweet2982 What would have happened if it was a gun?
Epic video! My dad just took delivery of his 2022 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range yesterday. I am a huge fan of Wham Bam and love watching your vids! Hopefully nothing bad happens with our new Tesla but if something does, I’ll be sure to tell my dad to submit the video to Wham Bam Teslacam!
thats an awesojme gift for all the hard work.
In the first video, he should have just stayed far back behind the truck. It’s hard to shoot a target behind you if that’s what he thought.
this also implies that there is a 0% chance of the truck driver just slowing down or deciding to swerve in front of you or break check you instead. in a moment like that panic will take over most peoples minds and they'll look for the quickest simplest solution and then making a split second decision.
Deshawn did what most people probably would have done in a situation like that, spot an exit and try to get to it.
@@kuma_score7536 your defense of the first driver is shameful and people like you are what causes driving in America to be such a stressful event. For the sake of the rest of us please start using the bus.
@@SL420- Said the pickup driver Scott L.
@@SL420- 1, I don't even live in the US and thank god for that.
2, it's just a fact that people make mistakes and do stupid things when under pressure, at least Deshawn owned up to it and accepted fault for the crash which the pickup driver played a part in causing.
the title of the video makes it seem like he doesn't but Deshawn doesn't exactly control that title. why not bash on the truck driver swerving back and forth blocking Deshawns path prompting him to make the first bad mistake of pulling ahead a very common response that we see all to often.
@@kuma_score7536 We don't want you to live in the United States of America....
4:37 what good is the paint protection film it it can't protect from the slightest bump like this one?
It's good for the sellers of it
Absolutely nothing. Dont get fooled :)
I suppose it's only weather and sunlight protection
Maybe he's just a super chill dude, but it looked like Ryan may have wanted a truck for Christmas, based in his subdued reaction.
Congratulations ryan!! You’re amazing!
11:15 This incident somehow reminds me of the one in F1 with Grosjean in 2020's Bahrain Grand Prix!
Isn’t that the same Deshawn seen on a previous video driving carelessly and tying to squeeze through cars causing an another accident? Seems like there’s a pattern of reckless driving; I guess it pays to have famous CZcamsr brother who will keep buying you a new Tesla each time you F up. I’m surprised no one was injured and he’s not in jail. Maybe that will be in the trilogy
If you want to get away, Let them go first, slow down make a turn/use an exit/park on the shoulder safely.
Speeding faster makes them want to chase you like prey.
This has by far been the best episode of videos yet
How convenient Deshawn's video starts in the middle of the road rage. I'd like to see what happened in the 10 minutes or so before too. Also the 'gun' thing is too stupid and a lame excuse for driving someone else from the road.
Exactly my thoughts. Then seeing how he drives, makes me believe he is making things up
Gun thing was probably from him forgetting to take his schizophrenic medication, mistaking a middle finger from the pick up driver for a gun
No words for Deshawn... Just give your lisence back and never get behind a wheel again please.
7:46 I love how the joker is just like “👀 I could steal that Tesla one day”.
Watched the first clip (without ever seeing a gun) and immediately went to the comments section. Was not disappointed. One crucial bit is that everyone knows the cammer is never at fault! They _never_ do anything wrong!
0:30 Why does it look like his window shattered? You could see glass shards flying away
8:16 I Think that the woman released the cart demon.
So it was boths fault.
I once had a road rager in a truck running from me. He slammed on his break in front of me and so I gave him the finger and as you’d expect his delicate ego was destroyed and he started following my car and then scraped the side of my front passenger side.
He tried to escape using the nearest exit but he wasn’t able to elude me. The dynamics changed. He had committed 2 crimes against me and now had become “the hunted”.
I chased this guy. Suddenly, this fake tough guy was running away from me like someone running from their kidnapper.🤔🥴
Ultimately, I let him go b/c it would endanger other drivers. I’m sure he got the fright of his life when a detective from our local police dept tracked him down A WEEK LATER.💀💀💀😱
He thought it was all over and that he’d escaped me but it turned out that the car wasn’t even his. The truck belonged to his girlfriend’s brother’s cousin or something like that.
I wonder what lie he told the truck owner and I can only imagine what it was like for the truck owner to have to prove he wasn’t the one driving that day.
Hopefully, he got picked up for some outstanding warrants.
He spun the other car around, that could've gone so badly. Just slow down and let the rager go, but of course he needed to show off that sick acceleration...don't pay 150k for plaid for nothing 😅
5:00 it's the woman's fault for tempting the cart demon
Who needs to use two hands for toilet paper, I think she did it on purpose
This episode was great!
I love this channel. It shows how perfect Tesla owners are.
4:49 she did it on purpose. Right before letting go of the cart, she looks directly at the spot the cart will hit and then turns immediately and looks directly at the camera. Not only that her behaviour handling the cart is suspicious as she turns the cart 180 degrees and points it at the Tesla. Any normal person would have had the cart by the trunk while unloading and keep it from swinging around as having the cart on the opposite side of you now makes more work for you. Most people brain subconsciously do not operate like that.
Her behaviour does seem very odd. At the very least, she's another person who just doesn't care about anyone else. I hope she never has kids.
I would totally believe she did not mean to do it. I've seen a ton of people who either blank out or somehow don't pay attention, and I feel like that woman was either of the two at this moment.
@@pie7395 I'm with Jeff on this one. I would have given her the benefit of the doubt had she not looked at the spot the cart was going to hit first. The second I saw it I was like "You're suspect!"
The last clip was my favorite. Congrats on the new Tesla!
Congrats on your masters, Ryan!
11:34 aww! how sweet! his wife surprised him with a car loan right after graduating from his masters degree! so not only he has to pay his shit ton of student loans, but also he now has to pay for a brand new car! nice! (maybe that is why he wasn't really thrilled about the new car, you can see it in his face)
Was thinking the same thing...reminds me of an SNL skit where the guy bought his wife a Lexus and she's like WTF did you just do? We can't afford that! LOL.
That last clip was just so amazing.
Not gonna lie i liked the nr 11 video, as it was very satisfying to see the car just break into small pieces...
Poor crown Vic, probably deemed a total loss by insurance
So when an "Old Guy" causes a wreak he's Senile and you try to humiliate him. Have you ever noticed that the majority of the accidents you show are younger drivers.....whats their excuse? FU I'll follow someone else who doesn't feel the need to disrespect anyone.
I think the follow-up was the reason for the description as the elderly man just wandered around looking for police for a while. That's not really how you find the police. And he didn't know what hit him even though it was right in front of him. He knew enough to eventually call for a tow but not to call for the police? Those things point to him not being able to process driving safely anymore.
That last clip was SO wholesome. Big smiles.
This youtube channel is my favourite! It is one of the best and I love watching it as I am interested also with my dad owning a tesla model 3 long range
The driver in the first clip should have just sped away going in an out off lanes and call 911
Word of advice: All videos regarding a gun and a car driving on a highway led to no one getting hit… the accuracy is diminished to such a degree that they can never get a clear shot…. This also goes for police shooting when driving… never hit a criminal when shooting through a windshield
How is that advice? People die in highway and interstate shootings. To say nobody gets hit is absolutely categorically wrong.
@@AveragePicker Find me videos regarding people dying from shooting during driving... You will have a hard time to find one. (I have seen 100's of shootings during driving, but they never hit the target. Even police officers that attempt to shoot through windshield doesn't even hit the target.
@@TankTheSpank How about instead of looking for a video you search the news.
Even up the street from me we had an infant in a backseat die when someone shot into the car while passing them.
In 2021 15 people died from being shot while driving on interstates and highways in Atlanta.
In 2020 Alameda County had over 80 freeway shootings resulting in multiple deaths including a toddler.
March of 2021 a mother of six was shot and killed in DC.
In 2016 over 240 people were shot and wounded or killed, while driving according to the gun violence archives.
…incidents are easy to find and you are simply and demonstrably wrong. Your insistence on specifically requiring a video does not prove it doesn’t happen. Plus, sites like CZcams remove videos where people are obviously killed.
@@AveragePicker Here there are tons of videos where people are killed. Look up “fatal shooting” in CZcams and you will see thousands of videos. Also that video you are referencing i know exactly what you are talking about. But that video intended target wasn’t that baby or their car… so again you cannot find me a video where the intended target got killed from a shooting.
@ 6:38 The way that that crown Vic front end disintegrated is intensely satisfying
Boy do these videos bring a smile to my face
Seems like it's mostly pickup drivers who are sent into a rage by the mere sight of a Tesla.
Small pee-pee syndrome.
@@kenbob1071 Or "Tiny Ginny" 🤦♀
Had Alexander kept driving straight he would have missed the car.
Im familiar with that area, not even 100m to his left (king st) there’s a big police station, you can actually see the sign if you look left at that intersection. Also it’s a 50km/h zone buddy’s doing 80 lol also definitely could have been avoided.
All you have to do is slow down and after a few moments the other driver will lose interest as they have somewhere else to be anyway.
Speeding up just incentives the other driver to chase you, putting both cars and other nearby cars at risk.
Deshawn blew everything out of proportion and cause a accident for no reason. If he is so afraid of getting shot I'm sure he can afford bullet proof window. If he didn't do anything to aggravate the truck driver he has no reason to be driving so recklessly. I'm pretty sure there is more to the story that he isn't telling us.
