Rolling Coal...
Rolling coal is a new term for me. If you don't know, it's when a diesel pickup exhaust is modified, usually to remove the carbon filter so it emits clouds of thick black smoke. The truck driver can use it to intimidate or anger other cars with the smoke, especially if the billowing cloud obstructs their view.They get in front or along side the person they want to annoy, smash down on the gas pedal and create the cloud as they accelerate past the other car.
Tesla drivers often 'feel the pain' of rolling coal trucks that have some kind of vendetta against electric vehicles.
In the link I originally saw, the pickup truck accidentally crashed into the barrier, doing serious damage to his vehicle.
The question was asked if it's illegal and the answer is yes, for several reasons.
Modified exhaust and EPA regulations. Intentionally modified vehicle for the purpose of harassment to other drivers.
Some law stuff and explanation:

A Ford F-250 6.7 liter V8 turbo diesel lists for $96,000.
The custom work could easily run $30,000.
