“Message in a bottle…”
The Police
Is anyone else concerned that Mitch has a sister-in-law who was so deeply connected with the CCP? Then there was Nancy Pelosi who hired a Chinese man from Communist China as a chauffeur. There have been other lovers and close biasness associates deeply connected with the CCP and other lawmakers. I can tell you that when I had a Top Secret, if anyone in my family was married to or had a business connection to Russia or the CCP that would be the end of my access to anything sensitive. But our superiors? Rules don’t apply.
One, Asian women can’t drive. Two, she should’ve stayed in China. Three, hard to gin up a lot of sympathy for a Harvard dumb ass having a Harvard reunion of dumbasses.
They are ruining Texas. What kind of idiot drives off into a stock tank? And all my time in Texas I’ve never heard of that happening even once.
Our betters…
Saved again!
My “guest house” is a short walk past the Master Bedroom, bathroom & hall closet. No ponds to drive into.
Comedy of errors rescue attempt but at least there was one. Not like poor Mary Joe Kopechne waiting for that b@stard Ted Kennedy.
I knew a guy who was killed when he forgot to set his parking brake. As he got out of his car it started to roll and came to a rest with his neck wedged against the door and a dumpster. DOA.
Was Ted Kennedy seen leaving the scene?
Doesn’t Tesla advertise how un-breakable their windows are? Or are those only special versions of their cars?
In this case, its not good.
I thought Tesla’s floated…… ??
She obviously panicked (having some drink may help).
Calling 911 in this situation is the worst think to do. You will drown before anybody can get there to help you.
You must rely on yourself to extricate yourself from the car!
Four point
1> Stay calm
2. Open window
3. Unbuckle seat belt.
4. Get out of the car through the window.
If you act fast, you can do it even before the car submerges (apparently it will float at least 30 sec.) or just after that.
Breaking window is great if you have a tool.
But even the power windows will open, if you act swiftly!
If you missed this best time to act, you may actually have wait until the pressures in car and outside equalize and then open the door. But by that time you may not have enough air left.
You need to get out of the car ASAP! By yourself!
Trying to get help is the worst thing to do!
Nobody can get there in the few minutes you have before you drown.
“Chao, the billionaire former CEO of dry bulk shipping giant Foremost Group, tragically died at the age of 50 on Feb. 10 after accidentally backing her car into the pond while making a three-point turn.”
Now I’m ‘really’ confused. If she was alone that night, after leaving the guesthouse where her girlfriends still were (?), having celebrated Chinese New Year...
how does anyone know that she made a “”three-point turn””. If nobody was with her or saw her, how would they know that detail? And if she was calling her girlfriends still at the guesthouse, did nobody pick up the call or come to her aid? Sorry, but.... not buying it still.
Would love to see a photo of the layout of this ranch and pond (and driveway). I’m still thinking that what they’re saying happened would probably be impossible... as an “accident”.
Perhaps people were afraid of the battery exploding.
Jut a reminder: A woman died a horrible death.
Just another Tesla that killed its owner nothing to see here
Due to the rugged terrain, a number of responders got out of their cars and walked to the scene.
After eating dinner together and celebrating the Chinese New Year on Friday night, Chao left the guesthouse around 11:30 p.m. to head back to the main house, where her son was sleeping. It was cold out, so she decided to take her Tesla Model X SUV for the four-minute drive rather than walk.

I don’t get that statement... There are about a dozen ‘bodies of water’ on this property but it was obviously one that a) she could drive/back a car into and b) was next to the guest house which was a 4 minute walk from the main house. This assumes that it was one of the two ponds that are directly north of the main ranch house that you can see at this link.... https://www.google.ca/maps/@30.2060082,-98.3223549,419m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu
In what way is this ‘terrain that they would need to walk to?”
I believe that all Tesla controls are in a &*^%$ giant Ipad type screen. If the fordward/back controls are there also, this could be a problem. And, I hadn’t thought of it, but what happens in a *&^^%& electric car when you hit the water? Normal (and more useful) cars still have a problem with electric windows - but those would probably still work for a bit before they quit. As much as I like the potential of electrict cars, sorry, those turkeys aren’t ready for prime time. Even Teslas.
Are we supposed to care about this?
Horrible way to go. Utter darkness, panic, water rising ...
