Run And Hide But Video Doesn't Lie: Tesla's Model 3 Sentry Mode Catches Politician In A Hit And Run

A former judge and U.S. politician has been filmed crashing into a Tesla Model 3 and leaving the scene. The incident was captured with the electric sedan’s discreet Sentry Mode.

Footage recently posted online shows former traffic court judge Willie Singletary backing out his Cadillac Escalade from a parking space next to the Tesla. However, Singletary misjudges his reversing and the rear quarter panel and fender of his Escalade slams into the rear quarter of the Model 3 in an impact strong enough to noticeably shake the Cadillac. The alarm of the Tesla is immediately triggered by the impact.

It amazes me today that people think they can get away easily. There are cameras everywhere.

I like the fact he denied it at first but when confronted with the video changed his mind... mind you he was a judge...

The way he kept looking around like he was Homer Simpson was hilarious.

8-camera dashcam that turns on automatically when you park your car, not a bad standard feature.

We all do stupid things, often several in a row. He did not run as it is apparent from the video. Should have left a note with contact info if he did not after assessing the minor damage and move on.

He left the scene. Under the law that is the same thing as running or are you saying it's different because he's black?

How cliche, a Democrat who does not respect personal property rights.

He only stuck around because there were people around, probably looking his way. If you noticed, when he left there no was who potentially saw the hit was around.
