True and [not condoning] but.....it looks like he is only going 5mph. So he is not going to run under a truck and sheer the top off or slam into someone and flip their car. He could very well be watching the road from that position and his hands may be on the wheel. Even on the video it says he waved at the camera person so he was aware that he was being videoed. Did you take the video?[/not condoning]
Also an argument can be made that the person taking the video was actually distracted driving, moving faster and possibly more dangerous.

My dad used to drive sort of like that: hyper-reclined. I'd get in the driver's seat after he'd been driving, and it felt like a sleeping posture.

Is there a trend of taking videos of Teslas on the freeway now? I drive like this all the time especially in this kinda traffic. I’m just resting my head into the headrest but I’m still alerted. Please don’t jump to conclusion.

I'm a little concerned as well. I have a bad back so typically sit more leaned back - curious how often I have been recorded.
Everyone in Formula One must be napping during their races as well!

Weak sauce.... One might say filming while driving is far more dangerous than someone's driving posture.......

What's the point of this video? So the guy had his head back. Lots of people drive like that, and not only in teslas. I would presume you were also in autopilot, but instead of watching the road, you were taking videos - is that any better than what you were filming?
Definitely not acting. He was super relaxed... maybe not asleep, but definitely not an alert driving position. I had my autopilot on with one hand on the wheel while taking the video. Traveling about 50 mph. I've seen these videos of snoozing drivers popping up, but never thought I'd actually see one in real life. These cars are so exciting to drive, I have no idea how you would even get that relaxed.

One thing's for sure - no matter how exciting the car is to drive, traffic still sucks.

yup, I drive like that too. With sun glasses on, people seem to think I am sleeping
Ok with me. They will get out of my way.
