Tesla owner gets coal-rolled by pickup truck in dangerous incident caught on dashcam

A Tesla owner was coal-rolled by a pickup truck owner in a dangerous incident caught on TeslaCam, Tesla’s integrated dashcam feature.

Coal rolling is when a modified diesel pickup truck spews black sooty exhaust fumes while accelerating and targeting people, bikes, or cars with the fumes.

Tesla owners have previously reported pickup truck owners trying to coal roll their cars, seemingly because they were Tesla vehicles or electric cars.

In some cases, people have questioned whether these truck drivers specifically target Tesla vehicles and electric vehicle drivers or are just regular miscreants.

In one case, Electrek talked to a pickup truck who posted a video of himself coal rolling a Tesla and admitted that he had a disdain for Tesla owners. However, after a discussion, he also admitted that his disdain was based on being misinformed about Tesla and electric vehicles.

In several jurisdictions, it’s illegal to operate a vehicle like that. However, it’s not clear where this new incident happened.
