Stunned onlookers could only watch as the white Tesla collided into a lamppost and traffic lights.
Shards of glass and plastic were left scattered across the ground at the junction of Mile End Road and Harford Street.
The mangled electric vehicle was seen wrecked on the pavement outside a Sainsbury’s Local.
Three ambulances, a trauma team and a fire engine scrambled to the scene after reports of the horror smash.
All seven people injured in the crash were taken to hospital.
Two of the victims suffered worse injuries and needed treatment at a major trauma centre.
Shocked bystanders looked as one pedestrian filmed the horrific aftermath on their mobile phone.
Others were seen checking if people knocked to the floor were okay as the chaos unfolded.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 5.26pm on Sunday to reports of a road traffic collision in Mile End Road, E1.
“We sent a number of resources to the scene including three ambulance crews.
“We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance.
“The first paramedic arrived in less than seven minutes.
“We treated seven patients at the scene and took them all to hospital.
“Two of these patients were taken to a major trauma centre as a priority.”
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson added: “Firefighters were called to a road traffic collision on Sunday.
“One car was in collision with a lamppost and a traffic light.
“One fire engine was in attendance from Shoreditch fire station.
“The Brigade’s 999 Control officers received their first call alerting them to the incident at 7.56pm and the incident was over for the brigade by 8.21pm.”
It comes after a woman in her 20s died after a van flew “through the air” and crashed into her in central London yesterday.
Another pedestrian was left fighting for their life following the horror smash near Somerset House in the capital.
