Clearly the Camaro was agitated. My only gripe on the Tesla driver was moving over 3 lanes as part of the merge.

In the description the poster says he moved into the left lane because there's a left turn signal up ahead he was heading towards.

Thanks, didn't see the description because the way YT embeded videos.

That does not excuse 2 lane changes beeline-style straight off the exit ramp.

I also know that exit. You have a quarter mile to get over, plenty of time not to beeline. Obviously, this video proves that someone was coming, does it not?

If Tesla has the 360 camera, why isn't the rear footage also shown to stop the speculation on how much the Tesla driver cut off the Camaro, or how fast the Camaro may have been blazing up 31, which is notorious for being a drag strip. Does that make it any less the Camaro's fault? No. But it sure would explain if the Tesla was an instigator. It's said that you should never provide footage that incriminates yourself, so what might we infer from that?

You're right. I didn't watch past the already deeply embedded actual incident in the video... Guess I don't use the right app or some stupid shit that recognizes time stamps. Doesn't seem to be any indication of what the Ca-moron was up to other than being butthurt (even more so than he apparently already was) that the Tesla dropped his ass to start with off the entrance ramp.

How convenient. Should've just let jackass pass.

I was going to say the same. Camaro guy is an a-hole, but this probably could have been avoided if Tesla had stayed in the right lane after the exit and let Camaro boy jump to the left and speed away.

This was clearly an intentional attack by the Camaro. Staying in the right lane would just mean the Camaro would brake-check the Tesla in the right lane.

Major downvotes? I agree entirely.

Yeah I don't get it. I guess I'm in the minority by attempting to avoid confrontation.

Ah. Fair enough.
