Listen older Me (as I think about my kids now in their late teens and 20s) - thinks this is dumb appreciates the danger and risk and it scares me. I also am sorry for the impacted neighbors (attention and the cars)

However I must confess living in SoCal we had a home in Lake Havasu AZ as I was growing up. As a teen I would go there often to boat, jetski, scooter, watch dirt racing at sarah park (yes it wasn't paved back then) and generally be dumb. We aslo had a big "jump street" by us.

We would do multiple runs increasing our speed by 5 MPH each time - my 1987 Audi Quattro made beautiful landings and I typically stopped when things didnt go so well - that said I had many friends that busted front suspension and windshields out of their Trucks/SUVs going for more distance

I think our generation was likely influenced heavily by our weekly viewing of dukes of hazard (insert dixy horn here)

Just keeping things real and honest....it would be hypocritical for me to clutch my pearls over this one.

Here's a general breakdown of how much YouTube Partners make based on these criteria:
$2.5 to $5 per 1000 views (for the intents of this answer, we'll use the lower range).
$0.05 per Subscriber

Ads is a bit more difficult to answer clearly, so we'll just leave that off for now.

So, let's see how Psy is doing at the time of this answer:
319,052,309 video views
811,299 Subscribers

So 319,052 x 2.5 = $797,630

811,299 x 0.05 = $40564.95


Adding them together makes: $838,194.95.

Not bad for one video [/COLOR][/COLOR]

So, subtracting out the cost of the car and legal fees/fines, the idiot is likely still making big $$ for that stunt.

Exactly. I would bet anything this dude doesn't give a fuck about what anyone writes or says about his vids. The more people talk about it, the more views and cash he rakes in. Next he may jump a GT3 and still be ahead. Lol. Gotta love social media

I am surprised no one commented on the fact this happened during a "Tesla meet-up event". I can't imagine anything more boring. All those cars look identical.

Can't track 'em, might as well launch 'em...

I guess they stand around and talk about software updates?

Maybe stand around a statue of Elon and pray to it for a few hours chanting 'hail God Elon'

They all counted down and made their cars do the fart sound effects simultaneously.

No, I’m not joking

Yes, it’s as lame as it sounds

No, don’t give him another view to verify it actually happened

[..Rush..]

The YouTube guy is an idiot.

Or they talk about how much money they are making in their Tesla stocks?
