It then ploughs into a newsstand-turned-café on the street.
The kiosk is shunted into a parked pick-up truck, leaving it at an angle.
As the chaos unfolds, a salesman can be seen sprinting after the car in a desperate bid to stop it.
He throws his arms up in despair at the calamitous scenes before dropping them in exasperation.
The blunder happened in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after a customer asked to test the car, as reported by Need To Know.
He was behind the wheel when he accidentally accelerated, causing extensive damage to the dealership.
Luckily, the impact with the kiosk brought the car to a halt, preventing a potentially more serious accident.
The extent of the damage to the electric car is unclear.
The exact reasons why the man lost control have not yet been established.
Local media have speculated that he may have suffered a medical problem, although this has not been confirmed.
Nacho commented online: “The customer’s a complete idiot, sure, but the car should have been in showroom mode.”
And Dusha added: “Let’s look on the bright side: she remembered to close the door so it wouldn’t get scratched against the pillar.”
