Tesla Driver Sacrifices His Own Car To Save A Man In Passat

A Tesla Model S only costs a staggering $70,000 but a man near Munich, Germany never hesitated to put his high-end car at risk after seeing a man unconscious on another car. It appears that a man behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Passat is swerving dangerously on the Autobahn, making the vehicle slam against guardrails several times. After seeing this, the man unhesitantly sprang into action.

According to Muenchner Merkur, the "action" happened with a 41-year-old Tesla driver making a phone call to the fire department. The man then pulled his Model S in the seemingly uncontrollable Passat. Following that, he tapped his vehicle's brakes in hope of making the Volkswagen contact his Tesla's rear bumper, making both of the vehicles halt slowly.

Shortly after the incident, the fire department came to help the unconscious driver, who, as Jalopnik reported, was apparently having a stroke. What the man in Tesla did is obviously and undeniably an act of heroism. Clearly, he has to sacrifice his own sedan, which, as German newspaper say, has a damage worth 10,000 Euro together with the Volkswagen Passat. Aside from that, the man did what most Germans would never do, or at least, not most: drive in the right lane - a crime that equals to theft and scattering good beer.

However, the real-life superhero forgot about the genetic predispositions, and because of that, he has saved the Passat driver's life, who, according to GreenTechMedia, is a 57-year-old man. Therefore, the Tesla driver was heralded as a hero not only by the man he saved but also by the Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself.

Musk expressed himself on Twitter to commenf Manfred Kick for his act, which involved sacrificing his car just to stop the out-of-control Passat. As a way of appreciation, Musk will have Tesla repair the damages without any charge.
