One Cybertruck owner had that peace ruined recently when a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/dodge-charger\/\">Dodge Charger<\/a> driver lost control and rammed his pickup. It just so happens that another Tesla owner caught the entire situation on camera too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The situation unfolded at the Destiny USA mall in Syracuse, New York. There, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla-model-y\/\">Model Y<\/a> owner says that the folks in the Dodge nearly hit him. \u201cI was out for a walk when I nearly got hit by these [explicit]. A moment later, I heard their engine rev and I KNEW they were going to do something stupid. So I started recording,\u201d he wrote on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/TeslaLounge\/comments\/1ki3w22\/the_dodge_fafo\/?utm_source=embedv2&amp;utm_medium=post_embed&amp;utm_content=post_title&amp;embed_host_url=https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/\">Reddit<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/05\/no-one-knows-where-this-tire-came-from-but-it-ripped-through-a-mercedes-roof-anyway\/\">No One Knows Where This Tire Came From, But It Ripped Through A Mercedes Roof Anyway<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t have been more correct about his assertion. Despite having an expansive parking lot at their disposal, the driver of this Charger R\/T begins a donut relatively close to nearby Teslas charging at a Supercharger station. He gets quite a slide going, complete with some opposite lock, too. When he straightens out, things go sideways in a more metaphorical sense, though.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>First, he drives over a calming island near the parking lot entrance. For whatever reason, it\u2019s only after clearing the island that he engages his brakes. Video shows that despite his brakes being on, the car has enough momentum to carry it into the next calming island on the other side of the entrance. When he hits that, the front end flies up and off the ground. Ultimately, the car comes back to earth and keeps rolling until it hits the driver\u2019s side of the Cybertruck.<\/p>\n<p><video controls width=\"896\" height=\"auto\" style=\"background-color: #000\"><\/video><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video Reddit<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s clear from the video that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/dodge\/\">Dodge<\/a> is not okay after the crash. Smoke is billowing from the front rather than from the rear tires. Part of the undercarriage protection is on the ground, and there is debris all over the lot, though it could be organic rather than bits of Mopar left behind. That said, the Cybertruck looks great for having just been hit by a car, even at a slow speed.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Reddit post, the crash left motor oil and transmission fluid leaking out onto the ground. Meanwhile, the Cybertruck owner got out to check the damage and apparently found\u2026 none. \u201cThe truck looked completely fine!\u201d the poster added. Safe to say, the Dodge driver got a little more Cybertruck than they bargained for.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit: Hammer Of Something\/Reddit<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dodge Charger driver loses control while doing donuts near Tesla Supercharger station in NY.
