The case says Tesla is a weapon.

Zachary Chernicky, 31, was driving 142 mph about 15 seconds before the Dec. 2 collision and was still traveling 102 mph when he struck the back of a Lexus stopped in heavy traffic, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.

Ivana Balistreri, 30, and her 2-year-old daughter, Lilliana, were passengers in the Lexus. Both died after the vehicle caught fire, prosecutors said.

“The law says that it is murder when someone shoots into a crowd,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen said. “When someone is driving 140 mph, then the driver is the shooter and their car is the bullet.”

It is a bullet with the capability to fire itself into a crowd. More like a loitering chemical bomb, or a missile.
