It IS a bit convenient, which is why I'm skeptical either about the validity or the fact that it was coincidence -- Tesla involved in viral marketing now?

I agree, that this seems a little too lucky an encounter - but @ the same time, what does Tesla really gain from a video like this? Do you think someone would see this & then commit to a Sedan?

Or am I missing a bigger picture here...

My very first thought when viewing this was "possibly staged", but then I thought the same thing you did - what is to be gained?

Hopefully he still gives rides to fans, but next time tells them to turn their camera off before taking a phone call...

If this was an unintentional leak, it doesn't really say much - just gets our hopes up that the next few weeks will have a bunch of positive news for the company.

It isn't just this clip... there seem to be multiple signs that big news is coming soon.

I was suspicious too, but if you look at the guy's channel there is so much other random stuff on there I'd be very surprised if it was a set up.

I really doubt the vid is staged. The guy driving is from Valor Equity Partners and probably thought the kid was just taking photos.

An announcement has been expected for a couple weeks now. The delay might suggest some last minute negotiations.

The driver many have thought the passenger was taking stills.

I did find it odd that the passenger did not "squeal" at the acceleration, though he might have made a face since the driver laughed.
