We've written a fair bit about motorcyclists having run-ins with Tesla drivers, and by now, if you've been a rider for more than a minute, you're probably already aware that there've been lawsuits over Tesla's self-driving features not seeing motorcyclists properly out on the road. But this story is something different.
Over a sunny October weekend at the Buttonwillow Raceway in California, a Tesla driver somehow managed to enter a live racetrack during the final event of the American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM)'s 2025 racing season. Round 5 took place at Buttonwillow on October 25 and 26, and during the Open SuperSport and Middleweight Supersport Race 7, a random Tesla suddenly appeared on track.
Race marshals were incredibly quick to respond, red-flagging the race immediately. No racers were injured in the incident, and they avoided the incursion and got themselves past the intruding vehicle and out of harm's way.
