Behold: A Flying Tesla Model S
A driver in Ontario has been arrested for dangerous driving after jumping a Tesla over a steep railway crossing
While it’s hard to make out on the CCTV footage above, the object you see flashing across the scene and landing in a shower of sparks is a Tesla Model S.
The driver hit the ramp leading up to a railway crossing on Little Avenue in Barrie, Ontario, apparently at double the speed limit, sending the EV airborne. After bouncing twice, the car crashed just out of frame in the car park of Assikinack Public School.
The driver was arrested shortly after and charged with dangerous driving. “It may look ‘cool’ and like something from out of the movies, but in reality the action of this driver put many lives at risk, including his own,” Barrie Police said on Twitter.

wrong car if you’re trying to enter orbit, mate.
That’s not orbit tho, technically.

When you don’t have a roadster, but you still wanna send your Tesla to space
When she tells you she is alone at home…
I ski race in Barrie
that dude probably thought that’s when the falcon wing doors came in handy
But aren’t the falcon wing doors only on the Model X?
Introducing ludicrous mode V2.0
The driver must’ve had Manuel’s Gas Gas Gas or Dusty’s Crazy for Love playing in the radio.
Will this void his warranty?
If I had a dollar for every pixel in that video, I’d have less than a penny.
