CCTV footage captured the moment the SUV, which can cost up to USD $95,000, was sucked into the void too.
The footage, posted to Twitter by @notonlywater shows a section of road opening up and sucking the Tesla and nothing but the Tesla into it.
It's almost as if the sinkhole specifically targeted the Model Y.
Not only was it the perfect size to swallow it, but every other car on the road remained completely untouched.
Even the car parked directly in front of the Tesla Model Y escaped without moving an inch.
The bad luck continues for this owner because apparently, the Model Y was also brand new.
Its owner had driven it only five times before it was pulled into the sinkhole yesterday.
When the car was rescued from the hole, it had significant damage to its left side.

Which would you drive?
I had the engine ( in working order still ) removed from the car after the accident and my brother stored it in his garage for me, it took me 6 months to be rebuilt before they'd release me from hospital.
I later bought a Lovely Rover SDI with a 2 six straight six engine ( engine was a bag of ๐ฉ ). I blew the engine up travelling home from work and then had my old 3.5 V8 engine ( which my brother was storing for me ) modified, rebuilt and fitted into my now new car.
After swapping a few parts around ( wheels from crashed car - Gold coloured) I was the PROUD owner of a muscle car that sounded as if was created in Petrol heaven a right beast of a car.
An all-electric world would be quiet and quite boring.
It sounded AMASSING.
Electric cars are I believe not fun or enjoyable to drive, they are best driven by the brain dead, who lack feeling, understanding and appreciation of what motoriings about.
I've watched U-tube clips about them and of there restoration. As you say they have a reputation.
My first motorbike was a Honda C90, new out of the showrooms and cost me ยฃ90 brand new.
A lot of my friends went back to biking in their 40 /50's, hobby biking, I didn't, bought myself a telescope instead.
My last bike was the 350 royal Enfield bullet.. it took me from Goa to Himachel Pradesh and then into Rajasthan and Gujarat.. I would have one tmrw if i had the cash as they would be excellent here in BC and its forestry roads!
My second bike was a Honda CG 125 in Cherry red, liken to the link [Link]
