New Tesla driver furious over mother’s ‘careless’ act in Queensland car park: ‘People don’t give a damn’

A proud Tesla owner has shared the infuriating moment a “selfish” mum slammed her stroller into the side of her “one day” car.

The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon in a Queensland parking lot and was captured by the Tesla’s external camera and posted to TikTok.

In the video, a woman wearing sunglasses is seen unloading an empty stroller from her car that had been parked next to the Tesla.

With one hand, he turned the stroller to get out of the tight space between the two vehicles.

As he turned the stroller, and without paying enough attention, he carelessly slammed the stroller into the side of the Tesla.

Tesla owner Josh was understandably unimpressed by the images and revealed that he had just bought the car new.

“It’s not even a day old,” he said. I guess people don’t give a damn about other people’s property these days.

Tesla’s ‘Sentinel Mode’ uses external cameras mounted on each door pillar and is designed to record these types of incidents.

Social media users had mixed responses.

Many sympathized with Josh and condemned the woman for not taking enough care when moving her stroller.

“She hits the car several times and is very aware of it, she is being rude and doesn’t care,” one said.

Another agreed: “That’s why I park so far away from everyone, I’m sick of the dings on the doors and the scratches on my nice car.”

Others suggested the act was accidental, arguing that the mother should avoid criticism.

—You mean when the stroller accidentally touches your car? Clearly he hadn’t damaged anything and it wasn’t intentional? one argued.

Parking spaces in shopping centers across Australia are notoriously small, typically 2.4m wide by 5.5m long.

Incidents like the one involving the stroller and the Tesla are common and often lead to violent confrontations.

The Glebe Hill shopping center in Tasmania has come up with a genius idea to prevent this by implementing special parking spaces with double lines that allow a car door to be fully open without colliding with the adjacent vehicle.
