A Tesla driver’s blinding holographic vinyl wrap (or paint job) is catching heads for all the wrong reasons. BMW M3 owner Nate (@nate_nexiph) took his white compact performance sedan out for a ride. While on the highway, he spotted an eye-blistering EV that was so luminous, he wondered how it was even allowed on the road.
“How is this legal?” he writes in a text overlay of his video. The split-view recording of Nate’s post shows the red interior of his M3, along with his and his passenger’s reactions. In the upper portion of the video, his exterior dash cam catches the Tesla with what appears to be a wrap with an iridescent/holographic effect.
“What is this?” another on-screen caption reads. Nate’s passenger says, "That's insane!” before the video cuts to footage of the BMW driver pulling up behind the EV. “Look at it behind. It’s literally yellow,” he says. More camera footage he provides shows the Tesla in the distance, which is reflecting a great deal of light.
Nate can be heard saying, "I'm surprised that’s legal, making blue and red [light.] That’s like super—you're not allowed to have blue and red lights.” He also points out in his video how bright of a reflection the Tesla’s exterior causes on the road, which is what prompted him to question the legality of such an aesthetic.
