Northern California prosecutors filed attempted murder charges against a motorist who was behind the wheel of a Tesla that went over a cliff with his wife and two children inside. Camera footage of the incident and eyewitness accounts led to the decision to charge 41-year-old Dharmesh Patel.

Was Patel suicidal and wanted to take his family with him to death?

That must have been a thrill ...! 

Patel couldn't bare the car payments so he wrecks it with his family?
