The 25-year-old has posted a number of videos on Instagram of himself riding in the backseat of the Tesla. One is captioned: 'U blue collar peasants can't understand my life,'

Highway Patrol arrested Param Sharma, 25, on Monday evening when he was traveling on the I-80 across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge toward Oakland, as reported by KTVU. Sharma was allegedly in the back seat of the Tesla while nobody was behind the wheel, breaking California law.

Sharma was arrested on Monday on two counts of reckless driving and disobeying a peace officer. He spent the night in Santa Rita jail in Alameda County. However, he was not phased by his arrest and, after leaving jail on Tuesday, he told KTVU:"I'm gonna go in the back seat right now. You feel me? I'm waiting for my car to charge."
