New Tesla driver fumes over a mum's 'careless' act in a Queensland car park

A proud Tesla owner has shared the infuriating moment a 'selfish' young mother banged her pram into the side of his 'day-old' car.

But the upset EV enthusiast was quickly slapped down by an eagle-eyed TikTok user who noted his car didn't even appear to be damaged.

The incident happened on Tuesday afternoon in a Queensland car park and was captured by the Tesla's external camera.

In the video, a woman wearing sunglasses was seen unloading an empty pram from her car that had been parked next to the Tesla.

With one hand, she turned the pram around to reverse it out of the narrow gap between the two vehicles.

As she turned the pram, and without paying enough attention, she carelessly banged the pram into the side of the Tesla.

Tesla owner Josh was understandably not impressed by the footage, revealing he had just purchased the new car. 

'Not even a day old', he said. 'People just don't give a fudge about other people's property nowadays I guess.'

Tesla's 'Sentry Mode' uses external cameras mounted in each door pillar and is designed to record such incidents.

Social media users were mixed in their response.

Many had sympathy for Josh and condemned the woman for not taking enough care when moving her pram.

'She hits the car multiple times and is very much aware of it, she's being rough and doesn't care,' one said.

Another agreed: 'This is why I park so far away from everyone, I'm sick of door dings and scratches on my nice car.'

Others suggested the act was accidental, arguing the mother should be spared criticism. 

'Are you referring to when the pram accidentally touches your car? It clearly hadn't damaged anything and wasn't intentional?' one argued.

Parking spaces in shopping centres across Australia are notoriously small, usually 2.4m wide by 5.5 m long.

Incidents like the one involving the pram and the Tesla are common, often leading to violent confrontations. 

Glebe Hill shopping centre in Tasmania has come up with a genius move to prevent this by implementing special parking spots with double lines that allow a car door to be fully open without hitting the adjacent vehicle.
