Who still carries keys anyway?![]()
Forced to drive a 1986 Yugo for 250K miles.What do you all think is an appropriate punishment\fine\restitution for this kind of asinine wanton disregard for others property?
Based on his demographic, what he's driving, state he's in (Motown state..'murican gas and diesel vehicles), wouldnt suprise me at all if it was done as anger towards green energy...(with a dash of anger at "stolen" election).
Cuz we all know, EVERYONE is against "them"...all media, all tech companies, leadership in Georgia, the entire supreme court, most all court judges including with (red) judges... (By the way..the irony is that in this case, big tech is what caught him.)
So yeah, a lot of anger that things wont be "great" again. (the guy in the video looks like "great" to him was right around the height of slavery).
It just amazes me to see people behaving in such a malicious manner. And for what? Cause it’s a Tesla?? Seriously?
My office is in Auburn Hills. Hopefully my Teslas will never suffer from a similar fate.
Thank goodness for Sentry Mode!

Sadly, I "keyed" my own car accidentally by walking too close to it while carrying a knife in my front pocket. The pocket clip left an ugly 4-inch line.![]()
Well, my car does have an NRA sticker on it.... Hmmmmm
How about, you know, jail. Wanton and deliberate property destruction from this thug deserves loss of freedom to dissuade future incidents.I think he should pay 100% of the repair costs, including the owner’s time, and whatever it would cost to rent a Tesla while it is under repair. Then, triple it. Add 40 hours of community service, and depending on his attitude, maybe an anger management class.
Yes, this guys is a scumbag, but jails are crowded and expensive, and there are other punishments that could work better, at least in cases like this.How about, you know, jail. Wanton and deliberate property destruction from this thug deserves loss of freedom to dissuade future incidents.
Punitive damages often are not allowed in Small Claims. I am sure it is state driven though.Simple. Let the do whatever they will, then file in small claims, for actual and punitive damages, to the max allowed in small claims. If that doesn't deserve punitive damages, I don't know what does. When he has to pay out of his pocket, that's when he will learn.
I just watched the clip again, this time full screen. The keyer is stepping on what appears to be a diagonal, thick white line that crosses under the Tesla. Was the Tesla even parked in an actual parking space?
Im 100% for all penalties against the keyer, but this is an example of why I always, always park at FAR end of parking lot, in an end space, away from all. (Plus I need the walking)
Auburn Hills, Michigan
You may be right. It looks like the truck was right on his parking line, but it also looks like OP may have been parked in a no parking zone. The plot thickens....
It is hard to tell what was going on just from the sentry cam video. It looked to me like the kid was carrying a Target shopping bag, so I checked out the Auburn Hills Taget parking lot and there are a lot of potentially confusing markings there.

Probably not even that parking lot, but was OP parked in a loading zone? Short term parking? Handicapped spot? We don't know what kind of spot they were in and if they had the "right" to be using it.
But it still doesn't excuse the guy keying their car no matter what it was.
The truck seems to me to actually be on the line, not at the edge. To me, that means that he is not parked correctly. As far as the OP goes, hard to tell. There is a broad stripe there that could indicate that he is not supposed to be parked there.The truck is clearly at the edge of his line in the back, but I can't tell if the Tesla is or not. I don't see any evidence that the OP is parked any worse than the truck.
