From the story.

Witnesses told firefighters the car was going fast when the driver lost control.

Firefighters say the impact of the crash was so great, the car disintegrated. Pieces of the car were found more than 150 yards away.


Doesn’t look like it was in autopilot mode.

Involved in Charities too.

According to his bio page on KPMAC Holdings' website, he was involved in many foundations and charities.

RTV6 reached out to KPMAC Holdings. A company spokesperson declined to comment.

Witnesses told firefighters the car was going fast when the driver lost control.

Firefighters say the impact of the crash was so great, the car disintegrated. Pieces of the car were found more than 150 yards away.

There were multiple fires in the road, left by the small batteries and magnesium.

“Doesn’t look like it was in autopilot mode.”

Doesn’t rule out it being in remotely piloted mode...

Net rumors about the Rolling Stone reporter who was about to break a big story... then drove his car into a post...then it exploded.

There’s net videos. It’s possible to take over a car with the right technology (hack into it) and steer it, speed up.

Only highly computerized cars with bluetooth or wifi or an internet connection. It is safe to assume Tesla qualifies to all of these.

Just checked their site. Extremely hackable: Model S periodically receives over the air software updates that add new features and refresh the touchscreen look and feel.
