“Heroic” and “Tesla driver” don’t belong together. Ever.

Yellow means proceed with caution. Not stop. Tesla driver, like all of them, was an asshole. And assumed the T could stop on a dime. Or else didn't even know he was behind him. (more likely)

I got cut off by a woman on her phone who blew a stop when I was driving my '15 T, and had to run it up on the sidewalk. My T had only a transmission brake and no service brakes on the wheels. Safe 100 years ago on dirt roads with no traffic, but not today. People today thing every car has antilock brakes, swerve control, and navigation. And can stop on a dime. Morons.

I don't think we're allowed to make fun of Tesla drivers during "pride" month.

The FSD Tesla was 100% wrong for slamming on the brakes and stopping at a yellow light.

"What do you think of Justin?" I think he's a fucking asshole snowflake. He uses FSD and then hauls ass to show the other driver what an asshole he is. "Eat my dust!" Wow...now that's original!

The soy boy narrator sounds like a typical Tesla owner.

What's really hilarious is, if the hotrod was the one in front and got rear-ended by the Tesla, y'all Haters would still blame the Tesla for "tailgating" and "not paying attention."

If the T bucket had hit the Tesla it would have been his fault. Tesla driver was a douchebag for how he acted after the light.

T bucket drew first blood by flipping Tesla off.

Both got enraged and both ran the red light. I'd say they were both douchebags.

I'm pretty sure it means "Prepare to stop".

YELLOW—A yellow signal light warns you that the red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, you should stop, if you can do so safely. If you can't stop, look out for vehicles that may enter the intersection when the light changes.

Hot rodders are men. Men don't lock up the binders on a yellow light. Ever. Not if they're heterosexual.

This is key. Obviously, sudden aggressive braking causing traffic behind to lock up the binders and take evasive action is NOT 'stopping safely'. Had the Tesla driver continued through the yellow there would have been zero issues.

I agree with both of these.

I actually wrecked in a situation like this when I was around 19 years old. I was driving my '71 Fiat Spider and ran into the back of someone who panic stopped when a light turned yellow. Probably worse than the Tesla did in this case. I was immature in a lot of ways then, but I was at least mature enough to know it was my fault and not get pissed at the lady I hit.
