A man known as the “Tesla Road Rage Driver” has been handed a seven-year prison sentence for a violent road rage incident that occurred in Hawaii.
Nathaniel Radimak received his sentence on Thursday, relating to a 2025 altercation with a mother and her 18-year-old daughter in Honolulu.
Radimak, who has a history of road rage-related offenses, admitted to his wrongdoing during the sentencing.
“I accept responsibility. I genuinely regret what happened,” Radimak stated, as reported by Hawaii News Now.
“It was entirely avoidable, yet I need specific treatment that has been delayed and is currently inaccessible. This situation isn’t beneficial for me, but I acknowledge my actions,” he added.
Radimak faced charges of unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and two counts of third-degree assault, to which he pleaded no contest earlier this year.
Judge Clarissa Malinao said during sentencing that Radimak had failed to seek necessary medical care and continued using illegal substances while on parole for previous convictions.
“His history of violence is propensity for violence, and defendant’s voluntary intoxication and discontinuation of medication increase the risk of his dangerousness to self and to the public,” Malinao said.
“These findings also demonstrate and reinforce that the defendant is indeed a danger to the safety of the public.”
Radimak, 39, was charged after allegedly assaulting an 18-year-old woman and her 35-year-old mother during an incident on May 7, 2025, according to the Honolulu Police Department.
Police said the teen was parking downtown when she saw a gray Tesla drive past her.
The two allegedly exchanged words before Radimak got out of the vehicle and assaulted both victims before fleeing the scene, police said. Authorities said he was driving a 2022 gray Tesla with Oregon license plates.
Radimak was arrested by Honolulu police the following day.
The arrest came just months after Radimak was released from prison after serving less than a year of a five-year sentence tied to a series of violent road rage attacks in Southern California.
He was sentenced in 2023 after pleading guilty to assault, vandalism, elder abuse and making criminal threats.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Radimak was known for driving a Tesla and using a pipe to attack the vehicles of his victims, including multiple women.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation previously said Radimak received 424 days of credit for time served while awaiting sentencing in the earlier case.
