You’re making a mountain out of a mole hill. You turned just as the traffic light changed to let the Suburu go. So the guy laid on the horn. Who cares? Nobody. The police would laugh at you if you showed them the tape.

My issue was him speeding up to prevent me from merging. There’s no shoulder past the merge lane, so I had to floor it myself and out-accelerate him. The side views show this best.

In any case you may be absolutely right that this isn’t anything to pursue. Thanks for the reply.

Roll on man, let the past go. Way overthinking it - let the girl enjoy her subaru and you enjoy your CT.

Let it go. 100%. If anything, send it to Wham Bam Tesla cam. Cops will surely do nothing to the other driver based on this evidence.

The only thing it shows, for sure, is you not obeying a traffic light and coming to a complete stop.

Happens all the time to me. Worst cities in order of most aggression: Longmont, fort Collins, and Boulder. I just leave them in the dust or act like I don't see them.

This is definitely a non issue. Let it go.

The only option available to me was to out-accelerate him, …

No, it wasn’t. You could have let him pass you. He was accelerating hard enough to make it safely pass you had you let him. Considering you were going to slow down for the next left, should have been an option to just let him go.

They were probably honking because they had the right of way and you blew a red to pull out in front of them. Pretty dick move. Maybe it has nothing to do with your car.

Dude, he drives a Subaru. Show a little compassion for the poor soul.

THIS!

“When someone shows you who they are by driving a Subaru, believe them!”

Also, “901” does that mean you’re in Memphis? Born and raised their!

Thanks all, I appreciate it. Letting it go.

You made an illegal turn on red because you didn't stop and they got angry because they had the right of way. The fact that you drive a badass Cybertruck and they have to drive around in a Subaru just added insult to injury and made them hate their life for a few seconds. If you take this to the cops, they will tell you to be happy that you didn't get a ticket. You have already spent too much time worrying about this. Nobody got hurt. Move on.

Yep, born a raised here too.

How many CTs do you see around Memphis?

Other than mine, I see one every couple of days.
