Tesla Driver Driver Caught Watching Porn On Car's Touch Screen In Traffic Jam, Leaving Fellow Motorists Shocked

A Tesla driver has been caught on camera watching porn on the large console screen in the electric car while being stuck in a rush hour traffic jam.

The motorist was caught red handed with the X-rated scenes on his large touch screen in the electric car as other drivers headed about their daily routine in South London, Daily Mail reported.

The driver of the Tesla S which costs around ?75,000 (Rs 75 lakh) appeared to be flicking through explicit clips on the screen during a traffic halt.

Dan Kitchener was driving behind in the stop-start, when he shockingly spotted the X-rated images.

To his horror, he could see the adult content on the screen through the back window of the vehicle.

"It was slow moving traffic. It was literally stopping and starting, a maximum of about 5mph in short bursts. It appeared at first that the Tesla driver was looking through a catalogue or similar," Dan was quoted as saying by Daily Mail.

"I briefly thought to myself: 'Well that's naughty while he's driving'. As we moved along I could see him clicking on images and zooming in and did a double take and realised he was zooming in on completely naked pictures of women," he said.

"I was absolutely flabbergasted. It appeared to be some kind of website and he was just having a good scroll through. I couldn¡¯t believe it," he added.

He even joked that he didn't mind being stuck in traffic in the moment.

The Tesla touch screen is a standard feature, with people having the option to stream video or play games, though they are told not to do this while driving.

It can also be used for navigation with maps showing directions, or to control things in the car such as the air conditioning.

Sticking to Tesla, the company's latest software update now lets drivers use their car into a megaphone to communicate with their surroundings, Electrek reported.

The update is only available in newer Tesla models (2019 or later) because the feature uses external speakers that were installed in recent Tesla vehicles to meet US regulations. These regulations stipulate that otherwise silent electric cars should be able to alert pedestrians to their presence at low speeds.
