Tesla Jump Crash: Watch This Video Of A Tesla Jumping 50 Feet In The Air
As part of a dangerous and stupid stunt, one driver recently drove a Tesla in Los Angeles and made a jump of more than 50 feet — and the whole thing was captured in a now-viral video. More so than any other brand on the market, Tesla's been hugely responsible for pushing EVs from a weird niche to the mainstream.

In August 2021, a Tesla Model 3 using its Autopilot feature crashed into a parked police car on the side of the road. A video from November further highlighted the problems with Tesla's autonomous driving capabilities, showing just how often the self-driving system can put someone in danger if they aren't paying attention.

Now, in March 2022, another reckless Tesla driver is making headlines. And this time it has nothing to do with Autopilot or self-driving. Instead, someone in LA was recorded driving a Tesla way too fast down a steep hill — causing the car to jump into the air for «at least 50 feet,» as reported by FOX 11 Los Angeles.
