The dumb award of the week is equally split between the drivers of a Tesla Model 3 and a Chevrolet Camaro, who decided to go berserk on the road with no concern for public safety.
Shot somewhere in California, apparently, with reports stating that the road was actually blocked for the spontaneous stunt, the video is nearly half a minute long, and was uploaded on social media, gathering around 10,000 views daily, at the time of writing, for the past four days.

Throughout the action-filled clip, you can see the Tesla Model 3 and old Chevy Camaro power sliding, doing donuts, and spinning in opposite directions at one point. The man riding shotgun in the electric sedan, who had his face covered, even tried to high-five bystanders during the unpremeditated (or was it?) show. It’s a good thing that nobody was injured, as it could have escalated in a blink of an eye.

Likely concerned that the police will identify him, as so many people had their phones out to film his reckless driving, the owner of the white Tesla covered the license plate. However, the one of the Camaro is visible, so depending on who sees this footage, they might get fined, or worse.

This dangerous stunt reminds us of one particular Chevy Monte Carlo SS, which was filmed not long ago doing donuts on another public road in the U.S. of A. That one ended up losing one of its big wheels, after the axle snapped, and it was a miracle that it did not hit anyone. You can check out that clip here, after watching the one embedded down below of course, and don’t forget, if you’re going to thrash a vehicle, no matter the make and model, at least do it away from public roads, people, and other cars.
