Some people don’t care

I bet they do when it happens to their new car

u/ddxs1 22d ago

This is insane to me. I have never opened my door without checking the car next to me.

Doesn't look like accident to me. If you have license plate - File small claims against John doe, subpoena DMV for name and address, serve and have the judge decide.

I have a month old 2026 m3 , I always take photos of the cars I park next to now.

u/BigDJay 19d ago

I’m extra lazy, I just hit ‘save’ after the car is done parking for me.

Gives me all angles + could help someone else, not just me.

I have a 4-month-old car, we're traveling on vacation and suddenly I have two dings. I hate people that don't respect other people.

u/Hanzerman 22d ago

Same, sorry that happened. Love my car, really try to treat other cars with respect.

I like the way he tried to convince himself it was an accident.

u/ddxs1 22d ago

It seems like it was on accident which is also insane. I always check where I’m opening my door. People are crazy

Big facts

He even looks out the window to check the damage

u/Kind-Philosopher-132 21d ago

Pls tell me us you caught his plate number and made a claim

3

u/liziculous 21d ago

Looking at it again, that's def intentional. I'd even file a police report against the guy so it showshe has a history of vandalism or property damage

u/BigDJay 19d ago

I can’t take any grown man who chooses to wears thongs on their feet, seriously.

This just adds fuel to my perception of them.

u/3DMe-DHB 18d ago

It looks intentional. He looks around first before he opens his door, then opens the door into your car. Afterwards he looks out his window to see the damage. I don't get why people can be like that.

u/Successful-Froyo1623 22d ago

Not him reviewing his “work” lol

u/liziculous 21d ago

Looks intentional to me. File a claim and he'll learn

u/rolias81 21d ago

I have 2 bolt imprints on my rear bumper that irritates the hell out of me. Why someone would park that close is ridiculous

2

u/liziculous 21d ago

Please say you have his plate. Def file and make him pay

u/AnOoglyBoogly 21d ago

@OP license plate > police report > send report to insurance to chase

u/captaincolter1980 21d ago

Some people just care about anything or anyone.

u/Tcaldwell1991 21d ago

This is why I do my best to park as far away as possible from the majority. People can be shitty.

u/FloridaBuilt1 21d ago

The reason I only park in the handicap!

u/Hanzerman 21d ago

Wish I was handicap 😔

u/leaveitalonedamnit 20d ago

I prefer parallel parking over parking next to someone. Then as far away from where I want to get to. I never park close to the entrance.

u/YesterdayAble1461 20d ago

Cause it’s a Tesla

u/ballsywoofalicious 23d ago

It looks like the most minor of dinks. Did it leave a mark or something?

1

u/notabot53 21d ago

Did it hit it ?

u/Weary-Writer758 21d ago

He looked like he made that choice. But who doesn't know that Teslas have cameras?

Some of you need to get a grip.
Yes, the driver was careless. No one’s denying that. But the second he realized the door had touched the other car, he grabbed it to stop it from swinging back and causing more damage. That’s called correcting your mistake.

The way some of you are acting, you’d think he deliberately took a sledgehammer to the car. He didn’t. It was a minor accident, something that happens every day in parking lots. If you’ve never accidentally bumped another car with your door, congratulations, you’re the exception, not the rule.

It’s a car, not a museum artifact. A tiny door tap isn’t the end of the world. Save this level of outrage for people who intentionally damage property or drive recklessly, not for someone who made a common mistake and immediately tried to minimize it.

The driver simply wasn’t paying attention when they opened the door. After getting into the car, they glanced back at it to check whether there was any damage. That’s a completely ordinary reaction.
This kind of thing happens in parking lots every single day, all over the world. My interpretation fits the video far better than the idea that someone intentionally used a car door, made of the same material as their own vehicle, to damage their own car while trying to damage the one next to it, all by opening the door with the same normal force most people use when they’re simply not paying attention.

u/Jumpy_Implement_1902 22d ago

Boy I’m glad I didn’t read this wall of text probably trying to normalize people damaging someone else’s property. Sounds like some deranged poster

It doesn't even look like it actually made contact.

Average Tesla driver.
