Tesla Vandalism Caught on Camera: A Toronto Incident Sparks Online Debate / X
[X] A man was caught vandalizing a Tesla in Toronto by keying its side, an act recorded by the car's Sentry Mode camera.
If the authorities do not act quickly enough, the owners — and dealerships, as appropriate — ought to crowdsource finding the miscreants and suing them and their connections into penury. As I understand it (and our clever legal experts will no doubt be able to clarify and correct where I err), the requirements for winning a civil suit are not nearly so stringent as for winning a criminal case.
The incident, occurring outside the vandal's apartment, led to widespread online sharing and discussion about the effectiveness of Tesla's surveillance features. Many online commentators expressed surprise and amusement at the vandal's apparent ignorance of the vehicle's camera system, sparking conversations about vehicle security and the awareness of modern car technology.
How lovely that the discussants (which really is a word, as it turns out) have anticipated me. Go to the link to see a number of Tesla Sentry Mode videos of vicious idiots becoming famous — perhaps you will recognize one, dear Reader.

#2 Have we had a court case yet where the vandal argues the video evidence should be tossed because it violates the perp's right to privacy?

Will we see aftermarket vehicle defense accessories? Think little claymore mines that spray marking ink or tear gas instead of shrapnel.

The Tesla modular wiring system controllers will be hacked to disable the video.
