A Texan riding an ATV caused significant trouble for Tesla owners by reportedly crashing his 4-wheeler into several cars during an unexpected hit-and-run incident on Tuesday.

Police in Texarkana, Texas, stated that Demarqeyun Marquize Cox was taken into custody after one of his alleged actions was caught on video by the very Tesla he intentionally collided with.

The 33-year-old is accused of noticing the electric car parked at a Golden Palace Chinese buffet while its owner was inside enjoying lunch.

Cox loaded back and rammed head-on into the side of the red Tesla, according to video obtained by KTBS.

The 5-foot-2, 449-pound driver left noticeable damage to the front driver-side door, owner Virita Carstaffin told the outlet.

Carstaffin – who was alerted to the attack by a phone notification – said she would have to shell out over $1,000 to replace the entire door.

Police were called to the area of Cox’s rampage after a second Tesla was damaged at a nearby Lowe’s, the Texarkana Police Department said.

The 4-wheel menace was stopped by cops just over a mile south of the Golden Palace as an officer recognized Cox from the Chinese buffet video.

Cox allegedly claimed to be a different person and provided a false name during his initial interrogation with police.

Officers didn’t fall for the cocky attitude and arrested the man.

“Based on what they had seen in the video they knew for a fact that he was the one who at least hit the initial Tesla,” Texarkana Police Public Information Officer Shawn Vaughn told the outlet.

He has been charged with felony criminal mischief resulting in damage between $2,500 and $30,000 and failure to identify, police announced.

A third damaged Tesla was reported after the arrest.

The yet-to-be-determined suspect had carved “ELON” into the side of the other two cars, seemingly a reference to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Cox has only been charged with damaging the first car but officials said the investigation is ongoing and there may be more charges filed later.

He is being held at the Bi-State Justice Center on a $105,000 bond, according to jail records viewed by The Post.

Cox’s stunt is the latest violent assault against the Elon-Musk-owned company, following the billionaire’s work inside the Trump administration.

Several arsonists are accused of setting fire to the electric vehicles at dealerships, while others have defaced the cars with anti-Trump graffiti and antisemitic art.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi charged three of the instigators with “domestic terrorism” for their alleged crimes.

Adam Matthew Lansky of Oregon, Lucy Grace Nelson of Colorado and Daniel Clarke-Pounder in South Carolina all face up to 20 years in prison for the separate assaults against Tesla vehicles and buildings, Bondi announced on March 20.
