This is how I get into my first ever accident lol. My friend’s mom didn’t know I was behind her. Oh well, mistakes happen. Unfortunately, it did cause a good amount of damage :(
Get her a 3rd party backup camera asap 😭
Thankfully it was a car that she saw when she walked to the car and backed up into it and was absent minded, rather than the child/pedestrian that happened to walk by that she didn't see.
Sheesh imagine backing out without looking at all. Sorry for you, OP.
Looks like this Ford Edge already has a backup camera and backup sensors.
This sucks, OP. Lesson learned, park blocking a driveway and shit can happen.
Side and rear view mirrors by the looks of it as well. Car must have had one of those camouflage wraps.
Well I'm old, and I'm coming back! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy4KpX1KOp0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy4KpX1KOp0)
“That girl wearing a mini skirt deserved it” vibes…
That comment says a lot about you that your mind goes there.
Says the guy blaming the victim.
I’m not blaming anyone. But if you park in a place where vehicles enter and exit, then there is a non-zero chance that a vehicle will enter or exit.
Did you pull up after she was in the car? I’m wondering how she couldn’t have seen you when she got in🤷🏻♂️
So if a little girl was crossing the driveway she would've flattened her... She is a danger to society
Was the person reversing the car legally blind?
Damn, full send backing up.... I almost never have to take my foot off the brake when backing up a regular ICE car...
Send it...
Didn’t she see a car behind her as she was entering her car?
Absolutely. The worst part is there's a busy sidewalk right behind my car...
You don't walk backwards out to your car normally?
Call me John Cena lol
Maybe another set of eyes, too...
The driver in that video is so oblivious, there's a good chance they would have just backed into OP's car if it was parked along a curb. The only lesson to be learned here is for the person who managed to run into a stationary object.
There's also a busy sidewalk right behind my car. So yeah... pretty scary
Yes. I'm certainly going to be more cognizant in the future!
Correct. I was sitting there for about 5ish minutes, waiting for my friend to come out of the house. I didn't even know someone was inside the car in front of me.
Why would you park blocking a driveway anyway? That's on YOU!
This is part of the problem that they let drivers as reckless as her have licenses.
I had just pulled in, waiting for my friend to come out of the house. I didn't know someone was in the car in front of me. Lesson learned!
🤣
💯
Sometimes I’ll do the moonwalk
IMO you should automatically lose your license for operating a vehicle without looking in the direction you're going. It could have easily killed someone, especially a child.
When you understand that 80% of the drivers you share the road with drive like this you learn to drive defensively on the streets.
Never trust someone who pulls in forwards to park. Back in or pull through, there's rarely a good excuse not to. Yes, they should have looked when backing up, but backing out of a parking space is still much more dangerous than pulling out forwards.
I’m surprised nobody asked the question, but here we go. what is your friends mom rushing out of your house in a panic? 
I did this the day I bought my tesla. More electronics than I ever had. Backed out of my garage after it got tinted and ran into my Honda civic 😢
How's that even possible?
How many acccidents have you been involved in? Guessing a lot lol.
how can you be backing up and don't know there is a car behind u, that's crazy, feel like she shouldn't have a drivers license geez also is the car's parking sensors turned off? it didn't warn her?
Wtf was that
Mirrors! We'll get ya some! https://preview.redd.it/83h062ul0ong1.png?width=2510&format=png&auto=webp&s=23530fe54331d4f698eb9b8fd55a104f845f2dfe
They should make her take her driving exam again. That’s just crazy dangerous.
You tell me, man 😭
I guess she just assumed the coast would be clear. Obviously, she was very wrong 🙃
🥴
It be your own...
But usually no one is there....
May not have any sensors. My Tesla is the first car I've owned that had any.
You can see it in the picture on the back bumper
I just added the garage door opener and had someone in my garage waiting on me to tint another car so when I left garage it automatically closed and I focused on that rather than my other car.. Also alcohol was involved
It definitely has sensors and a backup camera. You can see them all in the video.
Maybe she shouldn't drive
Is this a side shot or front camera ?
front
THOSE 4 DOTS ARE REVERSE SENSORS!!! HER DASH WAS SURELY BEEPING THE WHOLE TIME (UNLESS IT WAS BROKEN)
“Accident”
I had the exact same situation happen to me last year in my M3P. My buddy’s mom backed into me in there driveway while we were out at lunch in her Yukon Denali with a tow hitch. Tow hitch cracked my front bumper. Damaged the frunk bucket and bent the hood. Went through insurance and Tesla had it back to me in about a week and a half and 17k later
