He's at it again.
The serial road-raging Tesla driver who terrorized California roadways for months has been arrested again after he allegedly assaulted a teen driver in Hawaii — less than a year since his release from prison.
Nathaniel Radimak, 39, is accused of speeding through the streets of downtown Honolulu when he raced past an 18-year-old driver parking her car on Halekauwila Street just after 6 p.m. on May 7, the Honolulu Police Department said.

8 Nathaniel Radimak walks back to his car after allegedly attacking an 18-year-old driver on the roads of Honolulu, Hawaii on May 7, 2025.
Radimak has been out on parole since August after he served only 10 months of a five-year prison sentence. He was driving a gray Tesla with an Oregon license plate at the time of the incident.
The hot-headed EV driver gained infamy for his dangerous and at times violent behavior towards other motorists on the West Coast.

Tempers flared on the Hawaiian street when the teen driver yelled at Radimak and an argument broke out between the two drivers.
'The male exited the Tesla and assaulted both the young female and her mother. He then fled in the gray Tesla,' police said.

'Halfway in his car already, and he says, 'What did you say to me? You better shut your face before, you know, I come and do that the same thing I did to her,'' she said. 'Had my coffee in my hand, my ice coffee from McDonald's, threw it at his car and he came running across the street, struck me like a Superman punch right inside my face. I fell down to the ground. Big gash in my head.'
