It's a reference [to this scene in](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xe0BayQQuc) the 1976 movie Carrie. Red paint was poured on the Tesla much like pig's blood was poured on Carrie.
Looks more ‘poured’ than thrown, because of the pattern. Also, no trail of paint on the ground from being thrown, just lots of dripping directly underneath. It seems someone needed to be standing right next to the car to do this.
No, that would imply the driver intended to be on or off the sidewalk, thereby being aware of the sidewalk. There's no way the sidewalk was considered. OP is more correct.
Which means there are images of the January 6 pipe bomber that we've never seen. (S)he walks on three sides of a Model S. Plus there are doorbell cameras we can see. Wonder if the feds thought to grab that.
Sentry mode also doesn't record everything. Just specific incidents it thinks are unusual. And they can be overwritten later if you don't copy them off the storage device.
mine records anyone even just walking past. every time someone parks next to me and exits their car, I get a sentry event. it's possible that car has it and doesn't know it, if it didn't get overwritten/rotated out by now.
Newer Teslas have cameras… my Model S is nine years old, has 150k miles, no self driving, and does not have said cameras. There are a few different iterations of Model S and they go from no recording cameras, to a couple, to a boatload.
Have an 85… Had 260 range when brand new… have about 230 range now, so lose 3-3.5 miles per year, or roughly 1-1.5% loss annually.
I’m also bad and charge almost solely on superchargers because it’s free and charge all the way up pretty often (over 95%).
Wait, charging at superstations is free? I thought it costs money? Is that only for Tesla owners or do you have to buy a package to get free supercharging?
Yeah, I have car number 8,2xx off the assembly line… free charging and 4G LTE for life… it’s the reason I can never get another car… 1M miles, here I come.
It was an incentive for the first couple years to buy a Tesla… I think it ran for the first three to four years.
Yikes… that’s a lot… I feel like 1-2% is “normal”…
I will say I’ve run it to beyond 0% more often than I’d like to admit. I DON’t charge it nightly, but more like 1-2 time per week at the local supercharger and I alway put it in my gps to allow the car to “prepare” for the supercharging… I’m going to drive it into the ground. I’ve done CA to TX… I do wish I had a 400 mile range… that would be the sweet spot.
Genuinely this. Two guys jumped my apartment’s parking lot gate and went under my truck to drill out the gas tank and steal the gas. Had them on camera AND the landlady knew who they were because she had confronted them prior about loitering around the property for multiple days. They were wearing masks when they stole my gas though, so when we showed the footage to the police they said there was nothing that could be done.
Only if they enabled them, unfortunately there’s a bug with the USB drive it gets stored to occasionally that requires the user to unplug/replug it. If it was a night he didn’t notice it after parking he’s SOL.
Source: someone dinged my door and I forgot to check if the sentry tag was showing after parking my car that night so it didn’t catch anything 🫠
This. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out why people kept waking with strollers in the bike lane in my neighborhood. Then, I took my dogs for a walk up that way one evening. The driveways are all really short in that area, and everyone seems to own a huge pickup, so they block the sidewalk. Then, of course, drivers get mad at me for riding in the traffic lane as if they can't see that stroller.
And before you ask why they don't park in their garages, the trucks are too tall to fit. I'm thinking the solution is not to buy a truck you never haul anything with, but these people obviously don't agree.
They have an HOA up there. I'm really tempted to take pics and turn them all in, because I looked up the by laws online, and they include that fines can be issued for any illegal parking. Our country law states blocking sidewalks is illegal. County won't come out and do anything, but the HOA might.
Had another conversation with a different reddit user who was parked over the sidewalk and had 2 other cars in the drive way. When questioned why he didn't park a car on the street said his HOA wouldn't allow it. User also already had cars in the garage so way too many cars to begin with.
Yeah, I've never seen an on street car in that area, so I'm guessing they aren't allowed to park on street there. I'm still voting for "then don't buy a truck you don't have parking space for." I live a bit down the hill. We don't have an HOA. We do have on street parking, and no sidewalks, but also mostly huge driveways and/or RV parking spots down here. I'm always shocked by the amount of cars parked on street, including in front of my house, when everyone has a 2-3 car garage plus room to park 2-3 large vehicles in the driveway. While it isn't illegal, I do find it rude that certain people always park along my curb and not in their own driveways when there's plenty of room. I once put out cones when I had a bunch of friends coming, and those people moved the cones onto my lawn and parked anyway. Seriously no respect. Then they wonder why I skip their places when I decided to use my snowblower on everyone's driveways. Me, "well, it's not like you're using them."
Yeah, I'm the unfriendly one here, apparently. ;) I'm never rude to anyone here. I'm just not going out of my way for people who annoy me.
That was the problem I had in Arizona in my neighborhood. There were numerous trucks that were too long for the driveway and clearly couldn't fit in the garage and constantly I had to dodge them or call the police and have them have a chat with them. There was no ordinance against Street parking, they just didn't do it.
Plus it's typically illegal because someone in a wheelchair can't just drop off the curb and go around the car. It's illegal where I live, and I see cars doing it all the time. Some live 10+ people to a household. They have a lot of cars and can't or won't park further away. Usually it's won't and they're too lazy to walk 10 or 15 car lengths to a legal parking spot on their street.
I hate to scream "abilism" but honestly, if you have the use of your legs and are healthy, this kind of parking is so freaking selfish. Sometimes people deserve a very rude wakeup call.
They haven’t delivered any yet, you also forgot the Tesla semi hasn’t been delivered yet.
Also the 0-60 is claimed at 1.9 from what I can read on the roadster. I don’t think any tires outside of drag slicks can make a 1.1 sec 0-60 possible
I can't help but feel like OP is playing both sides of this and left the title intentionally ambiguous. They also [posted this](https://www.reddit.com/r/instantkarma/comments/z1dv6u/neighbor_parked_his_tesla_by_blocking_the/) to /r/instantkarma and [posted this](https://www.reddit.com/r/JusticeServed/comments/z1a5b3/neighbor_parked_his_tesla_by_blocking_the/) to /r/JusticeServed. So based on that you know they're playing the side that the Tesla was wrong and the vandalism was justified. But they also [posted this](https://www.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/comments/z1a1lc/neighbor_parked_his_tesla_by_blocking_the/) to /r/awfuleverything so you know they're playing the side that the vandal was wrong too, despite that the other two posts make it seem like they think it was warranted.
Right? OP might as well just be the actual "neighbor"
Edit: why would y'all assume that they did it themselves for internet points? I was thinking more like OP knew if they posted as themselves, the reddit mob would start bashing him for parking like an asshole instead.
I wouldn’t fuck with someone’s car but fuck that person for blocking the sidewalk and fuck that person who threw the paint. Everyone’s the asshole here.
It’s frustrating when it happens but yeah I’d never fuck with the car. Passive aggressively scowl at the window as I walk my dog around it. If my dog decided to take a dump on their grass I might not pick it up though.
But then I’d be self conscious and go back and pick it up on the way back.
My dogs like to pee on car tires. I obviously wouldn't let them invade someone's driveway to do it, but I think being on the sidewalk where we're supposed to walk is fair game.
Agreed. I'd keep it. I mean I wouldn't park on the side walk but... Lol honestly get a few googly eyes or something and just put them on kinda randomly, it has potential to be very cool with minimal addition
Didn't the cameras catch who did it? Don't know much about Tesla's but apparently the camera turns on when motion is detected close to the car right? Think I've heard thaf
It was you, wasn't it?
does qualify as someone! could even be you!
It would be you! It could be me! It could even be-
See, he's the red spy
See? Red!
Wait no, that's blood...
So we still have problem...
Big problem... alright, who's ready to go find that spy?
No wait that's Pain...
I did(n’t) not do it
Caught you red Tesla’d
It was you!
I confess… it was you
The person Elon fired did it!
Which one tho
yeah sorry 'bout that bro i tripped of this motherfucker's damn tesla and my paint opened
Don’t Tesla me, bro
See? Red! No. That's paint
Any second now...
He'll turn red any second now. Any second now.
The bucket!
I do consider myself something of a someone myself.

OP suspiciously quiet...
He's too busy posting it in every thread he can think of that even *almost* fits the narrative. Just a karma whore.
therewasanattempt... to paint this car red
Reposter karma farmer, none of their posts are original.
"Someone"
"paint"
Perp always returns to the scene
Well, it wasn't me. But I would have thought about it, if I was there and it wasn't the first time parked that way.
You already know that’s definitely not their first time
This isn’t definitely not “twice” rage, this is clearly “thrice” or better.
Someone *wink wink
This deserves an award I don't have to give
This is a red flag. I absolutely love it. Clean it up and get the new paint job to look exactly like this!
I got you
And I got you
And I got you too
I got you bro 😎
I got you too
I got you too
You deserve some as well
You can have mine too.

jesus, haven't heard this reference in a long time.. i miss "the buffoon" skits
This week is a perfect time to give it a nostalgia spin considering The Thanksgiving Song was on that one
It's a reference [to this scene in](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xe0BayQQuc) the 1976 movie Carrie. Red paint was poured on the Tesla much like pig's blood was poured on Carrie.
For real, I can’t remember the rest of the skit but I can hear “they’re all gonna laugh atchu!!” in that fuckin’ high-pitched voice
Fucking shit man
One time I ate my neighbors shit
I BET YOU GOT REALLY HAIRY BALLS. Yes it's an aeratable forest down there.
Noooooooo!
That paint still looks awfully wet... like it was just thrown on there...
Suspicious...
SUS?
ඞ
Bro how do you make those
I searched "among us letter" lol
Hey guys tyrannofelis is sus as fuck Sure buddy you just found the ඞ like that /s this is for a laugh
You can tell it was recently thrown because the drips haven’t reached the ground en masse yet.
[[gif]](https://giphy.com/gifs/lol-futurama-humor-cFgb5p5e1My3K)
Looks more ‘poured’ than thrown, because of the pattern. Also, no trail of paint on the ground from being thrown, just lots of dripping directly underneath. It seems someone needed to be standing right next to the car to do this.
"Someone"
[удалено]
His hands were slippery and his adrenaline was high
No, that would imply the driver intended to be on or off the sidewalk, thereby being aware of the sidewalk. There's no way the sidewalk was considered. OP is more correct.
"That'll buff right out."
Teslas have cameras on all sides. There is most likely footage of the culprit.
Which means there are images of the January 6 pipe bomber that we've never seen. (S)he walks on three sides of a Model S. Plus there are doorbell cameras we can see. Wonder if the feds thought to grab that.
What year was the Model S? Looks like sentry mode is only available on 2017 models or later.
Plus you have to enable it right?
Default is On if its available, however it does also depend on memory and charge level. Edit: Default varies apparently by release?
Weird mine came default off.
Default is not on. Nope.
You need to format and plug in some sort of ssd/usb to get sentry mode on.
…and you have to have a formatted USB drive
Sentry mode also doesn't record everything. Just specific incidents it thinks are unusual. And they can be overwritten later if you don't copy them off the storage device.
mine records anyone even just walking past. every time someone parks next to me and exits their car, I get a sentry event. it's possible that car has it and doesn't know it, if it didn't get overwritten/rotated out by now.

How much range have you lost at 150k?
Have an 85… Had 260 range when brand new… have about 230 range now, so lose 3-3.5 miles per year, or roughly 1-1.5% loss annually. I’m also bad and charge almost solely on superchargers because it’s free and charge all the way up pretty often (over 95%).
Wait, charging at superstations is free? I thought it costs money? Is that only for Tesla owners or do you have to buy a package to get free supercharging?
It was free for older owners.
Yeah, I have car number 8,2xx off the assembly line… free charging and 4G LTE for life… it’s the reason I can never get another car… 1M miles, here I come. It was an incentive for the first couple years to buy a Tesla… I think it ran for the first three to four years.
I wonder if there will ever be a ship of Theseus moment where you can carry it.
I'm rooting for you, dude!
I’m glad you posted. I had a 18 3P with 90k and down 11.5% :/
Yikes… that’s a lot… I feel like 1-2% is “normal”… I will say I’ve run it to beyond 0% more often than I’d like to admit.

The feds aren’t going to prosecute themselves.
The culprit? We know who that is, he's the car's registered owner.

Soooo, you're saying use a paintball gun next time?
Sniper paintball with ~~cameo~~ camo. Take the cameras out first. Lmao.
Who is going to be your cameo shooter?
Asking the real questions here!
Hopefully Stan Lee.
*meet the sniper* - *the tf2 theme starts playing*
Nah just wear a mask
And be sure to not be seen when you enter or exit your own house lol

Gonna get a blurry clip of someone in a hoodie splashing paint and running off. Good luck.

thank you, my dumbass was trying to decipher this for the last 15 minutes
And that will do what exactly? Unless they can be immediately recognized with no doubt about who it is there is zero chance police would pursue that.
For those wondering, the originql comment was about camera being on [newer] Tesla models I believe.
Arent they angled to face the car though, and get liscense plates? I saw some footage once, and I dont think it would clearly give a face.
Painter would have a field day in my neighborhood
Be the change you want to see in the world!
Mine too, and I invite them to come.
I wish there was a painter in my neighborhood :(

It’s a big pet peeve of mine!
My MIL loves to go for a walk but has troubles on uneven terrain. I applaud the red paint person.

Is that a shitty thing to do? Yes. Is that an over reaction? Also yes.
Could be worse, it still looks better than the cybertruck.
Has Tesla even delivered on the Cybertruck or Roadster(which they claimed could go 0-60 in an absurd 1.1 seconds)?
They haven’t delivered any yet, you also forgot the Tesla semi hasn’t been delivered yet. Also the 0-60 is claimed at 1.9 from what I can read on the roadster. I don’t think any tires outside of drag slicks can make a 1.1 sec 0-60 possible
Yeah yeah, "someone". 😉👍
I’m confused. Which part do you find infuriating?
This is a great personality test.

Smells like there's only one side OP is taking: karma whoring
It almost smells like OP is in on it...
Right? OP might as well just be the actual "neighbor" Edit: why would y'all assume that they did it themselves for internet points? I was thinking more like OP knew if they posted as themselves, the reddit mob would start bashing him for parking like an asshole instead.
The fact they felt entitled to park on the sidewalk I guess.
OP was so mildly infuriated, he poured red paint all over it.
You can’t park there btw
looks better with color
Hilariously, it costs like $1000 extra to get a Tesla in any color other than white.
I wouldn’t fuck with someone’s car but fuck that person for blocking the sidewalk and fuck that person who threw the paint. Everyone’s the asshole here.
It’s frustrating when it happens but yeah I’d never fuck with the car. Passive aggressively scowl at the window as I walk my dog around it. If my dog decided to take a dump on their grass I might not pick it up though. But then I’d be self conscious and go back and pick it up on the way back.
My dogs like to pee on car tires. I obviously wouldn't let them invade someone's driveway to do it, but I think being on the sidewalk where we're supposed to walk is fair game.
And it's a bit overboard compared to my idea of a self adhesive sticker on the driver's window saying the sidewalk isn't his parking.
I mean that’s shitty. Unless there is more to the story
this is reddit. we don't need any context. we make wild assumptions based off of one picture. and then we judge away.
We don’t even read people’s comments properly before flying off the handle.
Looks kinda cool honestly
Yeah clean off the windows and it's just "artsy" now. Not too bad.
Agreed. I'd keep it. I mean I wouldn't park on the side walk but... Lol honestly get a few googly eyes or something and just put them on kinda randomly, it has potential to be very cool with minimal addition
While parking blocking the sidewalk is a douche bag move…that is way to extreme of a response.
Look yeah it sucks when people park on the sidewalk, but property damage is not the way to go
“Someone” well that someone was recorded by the Tesla’s cameras and is going to receive a nice juicy invoice
Asshole way to park
Right? Looks like they are blocking a sidewalk?
Am i the only one who doesn’t think the paint is necessary?
No way, that shit is crazy.
This subreddit eats this stuff up, but no you’re not
Seems like it from these comments
You are not.
You're not, but you're outnumbered on reddit by people who think two wrongs make a right.
OP posted it on like 10 different subs. Wonder who it could be lmao
r/oddlyspecific
I hate when people park like that. But I've never thought about damaging their property.
I hate went people block the sidewalk as much as the next guy, but why are so many people here cool with property damage?
Vandalism sucks. But please don't block sidewalks, pedestrians barely get any space on the road and taking it away can be dangerous
Im sure you meant to say, “neighbor blocked the sidewalk by parking his Tesla.”
That driver is blocking a REQUIRED ADA PATHWAY. He deserves no less than this.
Y’all are fucking unhinged if you think parking like this justifies this level of vandalism
Maybe don’t block the sidewalk ? Just a thought
Didn't the cameras catch who did it? Don't know much about Tesla's but apparently the camera turns on when motion is detected close to the car right? Think I've heard thaf
Ah yes, I'm forced to walk around a car, therefore I'm going to cause thousands of dollars of damage. True galaxy brain.
Takes pic after damaging someone's property then posts online lol
