“””The 38-year-old driver of the Tesla died at a nearby hospital shortly after the crash.
Late Tuesday, Tesla said in a blog post it does “not yet know what happened in the moments leading up to the crash.”””””
I know what happened. Somebody thought a computer could replace human eyes and brains and the car hit a wall.
I hope they never do a remake of Back to the Future using a Tesla
It’s probably related to TSLA’s bottomless pit of capital requirements. Musk was nuts not to raise a bunch of capital in the last month or so, when the stock was at record highs.
FWIW one of my gnomes notes he thinks Elon is the unofficial R & D wing of the major car manufacturers. Interesting theory. IMHO we are this close to the break-through batteries ( 1 billion in Venture Capital this past yr for all the players in this space, they get it, it is going to happen and they want a piece of it ) and a paradigm change in transportation drivetrains via a host of batteries ( the missing component ) that will take us 2X to 3X from here ( or greater ) in terms of range with electric cars, and yes the million dollar question is charge times which is being worked on.
Can Elon make it another 2 or 3 yrs and also adopt the next gen ( solid state is my guess ) battery, or.... does he sell it / joint venture with someone who can build his cars. For a the crap the big 3 gets about building cars bla bla bla, they can get-r-done, he didn't do it with his latest model, big, big screw up.
We'll see.
Self driving vehicles... A twisted dream that only a moron who is too incompetent to drive would think of.
Elon's latest victim... Not present.
Here is an update on the story. Not good optics for Tesla if AP was enabled.
