Police in Vacaville arrested a man on a DUI charge after he was found, what appears to be, completely passed out behind the wheel of a Tesla Model Y, which was safely self-navigating the owner through busy streets. The man&#8217;s passenger seat told the rest of the story, with a four-pack of Sutter Home wine bottles and a box of Round Table pizza clearly visible.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Vacaville Police Department, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VacavillePoliceDepartment\/posts\/pfbid02ozkUJfbEGppbQB79rvZBrmv5V5aK1va2PXqY1ykMSWL4Z8AoL4hGyF11nKoA9fELl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted through their Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page, a concerned community member spotted the very relaxed driver, stayed on the line with dispatch, and guided officers to the intersection of Elmira Road and Shasta Drive where they stopped the vehicle. Alcohol and marijuana were confirmed. No medical emergency, and what appears to be just an extremely committed drunken nap.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-301547 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-charge\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-arrest\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-arrest-e1774678014371-300x259.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Tesla drives drunk owner, Police arrest on DUI [Credit: Vacaville Police via Facebook]\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-301557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-arrest-e1774678014371-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-arrest-e1774678014371-768x662.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-arrest-e1774678014371.jpg 1006w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-301557'>\n\t\t\t\tTesla drives drunk owner, Police arrest on DUI [Credit: Vacaville Police via Facebook]\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-charge\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-evidence\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-evidence-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-301551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-evidence-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-evidence-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-evidence-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-evidence-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tesla-fsd-drunk-driver-dui-evidence.jpg 944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-301551'>\n\t\t\t\tTesla drunk driver passenger seat , Police arrest on DUI [Credit: Vacaville Police via Facebook]\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The Vacaville Police noted that California permits drivers to use assistive driving features like Tesla&#8217;s FSD, but the law still requires them to be &#8220;conscious, alert, and not under the influence while operating them.&#8221; The post drew some humorous reactions in the comments section, with one commenter piping in, &#8220;That time when his vehicle had more situational awareness than he did.&#8221; Another commenter chimed in, &#8220;Sutter all the way home\u2026.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"o1lVyIcE1A\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/we-tested-tesla-full-self-drivings-ability-let-you-text-drive\/\">Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.2.1 texting and driving: we tested it<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.2.1 texting and driving: we tested it&#8221; &#8212; TESLARATI\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/we-tested-tesla-full-self-drivings-ability-let-you-text-drive\/embed\/#?secret=7199Px5KzC#?secret=o1lVyIcE1A\" data-secret=\"o1lVyIcE1A\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The incident lands in an interesting moment for Tesla.
