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.
