Determined Bear Returns to Attempt Another Tesla Raid

Occurred on September 27, 2021 / Mammoth Lakes, California, USA

Info from Licensor: "Recent California wildfires have been pushing wildlife into mountain towns and lots of black bears have been exploring local residences more in search of sustenance. A week before this video was recorded, a bear attempted to access our car but was unable to, and ripped a panel off the back of the car. It has also left claw marks around the car from the visit. It happened again exactly a week later (we believe it was the same bear) and the surveillance system in our Tesla captured the bear's investigation of our car. Local bears know how to open car doors, but Tesla doors don't have external handles so the bear has become frustrated with the challenge of our car. We have an open garage that we share with our neighbors. There hasn't been food in the car when the bear has come by but it's obviously attracted to our car more than the other cars in the garage. It hasn't touched any other cars in the garage but keeps coming back to our car."
