A man driving a stolen Tesla evaded police on a San Diego boardwalk, striking a 25-year-old woman who was hospitalized in critical condition. Bystanders, including beachgoer Alex Srour, chased down and detained the driver until police arrived; he faces felony hit-and-run charges and was suspected of being under the influence.
Austin, Texas fire department expressed concerns that Tesla's new Cybercab, which lacks a steering wheel and traditional controls, could obstruct city streets during emergencies since firefighters would be unable to manually move the vehicle.
