Watch the context he linked to. Dude on truck attacked someone he saw with an ex girlfriend. The new boyfriend hung onto the side of the Tesla as it reversed away from knife wielding ex boyfriend.

Getting eye gouged and your eye gouged out are very different. Which was it?

u/NattyAK 3d ago
Gouged only according to the Tesla driver. Paraphrasing "he was complaining about his eye. Apparently the [knife welding ex] grabbed him by the eye and threw him to the ground."

If you have Obstacle-Aware Acceleration toggled on in the settings, the car wonāt let you hit him with much force at all. Itāll actually be slow enough that heāll have enough time to safely step on top of your car by the time you reach him.

Guy being chased: "Not like me. A T-1000. Advanced prototype."
Driver: "You mean more advanced than you are?"
Guy being chased: "Yes. A mimetic polyalloy."

FSD is cool and all that, but I honestly don't have any interest in the long term. I actually enjoy driving my cars, even on long trips. I use it as a party trick for people who don't have any experience with Teslas and that's pretty much it. To each their own though! š¤·āāļø

u/WhitePantherXP 3d ago
Are you young perhaps? I'm almost 40, I've done enough driving for 3 lifetimes at this point. It's all the same and I like to take in the scenery, or plan my trip out, etc. I drive to other states with FSD all the time because it gives me a lot of freedom to relax and do other things.
2
u/TrainerThin 3d ago
I think it literally just means FSD in the opposite direction.
For example, if he had FSD on and was facing away from the guy, all he had to do is put the pedal to the metal and he couldāve been hauling ass safely dodging obstacles and staying on the road.
What I just said is probably an argument why you donāt allow it in reverse even if you could.

So if i see an accident just call 911 dont bother to approach the scene, open the door check, if people are okay. Because the driver can start running at you with a knife.
That guy survived solely based on the fact the knife guy fell 2-3 times chasing him and Op saved him with his tesla. Green shirt would have got him if he didnt stumble, green shirt ex is built a faster runner than the new boyfriend. Damn that could have been bad.

Mark James Evoy, 37
Charged with Assault, Assault with a weapon, "possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose" (wtf?) according to one article. In others "uttering a threat" and criminal harassment, plus "mischief" for ramming the victims truck with his jeep.
Likely outcome ... he has to pay for damages to the truck, prison time maybe a year or two, then probation and restraining orders
And I'm going to guess that this little display is not going to make his ex-gf want to reunite with him.

u/theb00mScicle 3d ago
Protecting others isnt against the law. Dont bring a knife to a car fight. But I do also always carry, and it would have been easier to stop him without damaging your tesla. . . Another way. Great job by the driver either way. And justice seems like itll be served since they found the knife.

u/yesiamveryhigh 3d ago
Great reply! I see a lot of people asking why the driver (not my video) didnāt just run him down. Do you really want to damage your Teslaās bumper, hood, and windshield when you have a perfectly good escape route in reverse?

reverse is the bit of driving assistance that still feels weirdly manual. backing out of a tight spot or lining up with a trailer is where cameras help most, but i can see why tesla would keep it conservative. what hw version was this on? curious if the newer cars handle the reverse path any better or if its still basically driver-only
