Couple shocked – "Flying fish smashed our Tesla"

It sounds like a bad joke. But married couple Cynthia and Jeff Levine can document that some fish fell from the sky and destroyed their otherwise brand new Tesla.

Cynthia Levine was walking home when she first heard a real bang. Soon after, her Tesla, which was parked out in the driveway, started howling loudly.

– I haven't heard the car make noises like that before, so I lobbed straight out to look, she tells the New York Post .

Her husband, Jeff, who had initially ignored the loud noises, tells the media that he was at least as shocked as his wife when he reached the car.

– We saw that the windscreen of our Tesla was smashed, and thought we had some unknown enemy, says the couple.

On the windshield, however, the explanation lay stone-cold right in front of them. A fish. The Tesla's built-in Sentry Mode cameras subsequently made the couple a little smarter.

The cameras in the car had been activated when the fish came flying into the windscreen. Straight down from the sky. One theory is that a tornado carried the fish with it. Such winds can move even very heavy objects over great distances.

So a smaller fish is no problem. Well, that's a problem for the Levines. At least now they must have a new windscreen for their car.

However, the couple themselves believe that a bird of prey – perhaps a boar – could be the culprit in their case.

– It must have been a boar that dropped it, says Cynthia Levine to the newspaper.

It is not the first time that more or less obscure objects have smashed a windscreen. It could, for example, have gone horribly wrong when, in April last year, a squirrel suddenly got stuck in the windscreen of Kim Pedersen's Skoda. Read more about that case here .
