It’s always great to see someone get instant karma, like this cyclist who kicked a Tesla’s side mirror off for no good reason. The senseless vandalism and what happened to the vandal was caught on camera by the electric car, then the owner uploaded the footage, which includes the vandal’s face.

The attack on the Tesla happened recently in Downtown Summerlin, an upscale neighborhood in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the early morning hours while most people were still in bed and the sun hadn’t come up, the vandal struck.
Likely, the guy was riding his e-bike to work or maybe home after a graveyard shift. Whatever his story, he comes cruising up at a good clip, his right foot up and extended so it hits the Tesla’s side mirror so hard, the mirror assembly breaks.

What the criminal mastermind didn’t plan for is Newton’s third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That force knocked the guy off his bike as he skidded and sprawled across the pavement.
Having been in bike accidents ourselves, we can almost guarantee the guy has a pretty good case of road rash, especially considering the clothing he’s wearing. Plus, this person wasn’t even wearing a helmet, showing he doesn’t take his personal protection the least bit seriously.
Immediately, he hops up and starts searching the ground for something while the Tesla’s blinkers automatically go off. Finding what was lost, we see him go to retrieve the fallen e-bicycle with his phone in his hand.
We hope his screen cracked in the collision, teaching him even more of a lesson.
Sadly, we doubt this guy learned anything from his poor choice. With Tesla vandalisms continuing after Elon Musk has been portrayed as everything evil, this sort of nonsense has become far too common.
In the current cultural environment, people are tired of not being able to buy whatever car they like without being harassed and the vehicle being vandalized by random strangers. We hope police have figured out who this vandal is and he’s facing more consequences.
