What actually amazes me when I look at this video is how little damage is done to the Mach-E, at least until he plows into the other car.

If the car totally froze up and locked up it's hard to understand why it's still going. But even then the brakes should still work. And even if power steering is out you should still be able to turn the wheel.
A word of advice, if your car runs away SLAM the brakes and hold them. If you press gently they can quickly overheat, then you really have no brakes.

People have been taking drugs, having mental breakdowns, or trying to off themselves way before social media or ā€œAIā€.

Sometimes someone is just insane and it’s not a puzzle for internet detectives to solve.

Pretty trusted source here Bowen, big in the lightning community.
But it’s from X šŸ˜€

Was this the guy who shot the video?

I find it … interesting … that someone who is allegedly ā€œvery big in the lightning communityā€ just happened to be on the same roadway at the same time and was able to video the entire incident and stopped to interview and examine the person in the green Mustang Mach-E 🧐

Agree, the guy having a mental breakdown or drugs and being totally irrational is the most likely explanation.

It’s not AI or staged for TikTok.

Yes, the video is credited to that individual.

Then I find it even more suspicious. Am I the only one who finds that just a bit too convenient? If you told me that some random schlub in a beater dodge durango just happened upon this and was a Good Samaritan who stopped to check on the guy, then it becomes a bit more believable. (I’m still not buying this though - I’ve wasted too much money on Florida swampland and New York bridges already šŸ˜€)

I have TWO 2024 Premium AWD Long Range Mach-E's: One Eruption Green, one White
1. He's in there ranting with his left hand up, making ranting gestures.
2. He is not looking for help, for example, from the car doing the filming.

You blow in from stupid town too? The guy who the screenshot is from ā€œbig in the lightening communityā€ reached out to the original Tik tok poster and spoke with him since he took the video and was a witness to the police after the crash. That’s where the text is from. Reading comprehension, it’s important.
Yeah, well, that’s not how I read it. Then again, I’m in Florida right now, which automatically lowers my IQ by about 30-40 points while I’m here, so…

Welcome to the forum. Is it your objective to offend everyone you converse with here? Because you have offended more than just them.

What the actual fuck am I looking at?
Looks to me like he had a flat in the front right and was trying to get off the highway, panicked and scraped the Jersey barrier, and was in a state of ā€˜panic’ so didn’t’ check for on-coming traffic as he tried to exit….the vehicle on the on-ramp that struck him was either clueless or blind sided or both….

Rouge lol šŸ˜‚

Don’t know what the color red in the thread title has to do with this.

Anyway CLEARLY ā€œpilot errorā€.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
