A late-night joyride turned into a jail booking after a Tesla Model 3 driver was clocked going 128 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone on SR-900 near I-5 in south Seattle. The driver was spotted just before 9 pm Thursday evening (May 8, 2025), according to Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson. He posted the details on social media (X formerly Twitter) with a photo showing the radar reading 128 mph and the blue Tesla involved.
