Electrek’s Take
This is bothering me on many levels.

It’s ridiculous that someone would do this modification in the first place, but if you are using it to shoot the exhaust on people, you are reaching a whole new level of redneck douchebaggery.

On top of it, he might have targeted Esguerra’s Model 3 for being electric or a Tesla, which adds on a whole different level of stupidity.

I told Esguerra about the California Air Resources Board’s system to report people with rolling coal vehicles and he said that he was going to file the complaint.

Thanks to the TeslaCam, it was easy to get the truck’s license plate in order to report the offender.

Hopefully, they investigate and give the guy a nice juicy fine for being a moron.

The guy was just accelerating to the speed limit.

The modifications are not intended to increase emissions but to improve power. The soot is an unfortunate side effect that some people intentionally misuse, though I saw little evidence of intent in this video.

If they're intentionally rolling coal on you, they'll work hard to stay right in front of you and keep revving the motor. That's not what was happening in this video.
 
All of our fleet at my company are newer trucks, they're certified clean idle and use DEF

No rollin coal for me
Hopefully your next fleet will be all electric.....
