A video has emerged online showing a dark blue Tesla Model Y badly damaged after it was driven into a warehouse at high speed. The video shows a group of young men in the car and one of them hopping into the driver's seat right before the crash.
The car turns around and quickly accelerates towards a series of bumps on the tarmac in an industrial area. The car was running at a high speed, somewhat around 96 kmph. While the young man in the driver seat tries to brake hard to stop the car, the car didn't stop there. It finally ends up crashing through some shrubs and slammed through a glass wall of a warehouse next to the road.
Later in the video, the driver was telling his friends that despite slamming the brake, the car was not slowing down. Despite the high-speed crash, nobody was injured.
