With the car no longer in custody, they probably can’t determine if the software or hardware had been hacked and the doors wouldn’t open or the car respond to any of the driver’s commands while it drove into the pond.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wondered about that when the topic was discussed here on one of the earlier postings a week or so ago... There is a reliable source named Kyle Bass who seemed to indicate (and I’m paraphrasing) that the car was violently out of control and there is video of it entering the pond.... I think he said it entered the pond going backwards after going over an obstacle. To say that all sounds very unusual is obvious and as anyone knows who has driven a car backwards at high speed, it isn’t all that easy to do. I suppose there could be a few explanations for that.. 1. She was in some kind of physical/mental distress, 2. The car was being controlled by somebody else or 3. The software malfunctioned.

Let’s say it was No. 3 of those possibilities... Is this why the Chao family has insisted that they take ownership of the car?

Just a billionaire CCP member on a Texas ranch hideout, with no security and no employees/workers on site able to operate tractors and trucks with chains & winches to facilitate a rescue once the situation was discovered?

*Let’s just call 911 to a rural county emergency line and allow an hour for the vehicle and body to be recovered.

I posted same over a week ago and went over everyone’s head.

As for as the one hour reported being submerged, the Tesla data recorder may reveal more accurate timeline.

Nobody drives into a LAKE in the middle of Texas.

A neighbor lady of ours in Kerr County Texas skidded her car on a road crossing a slick dam a quarter mile from her home, upstream into the dammed up creek and drowned. It was a mystery how she had disappeared for about a week, until someone noticed a glint off her car. I have heard of others over the years. It does happen.

I also suspect that E Musk will participate in this investigation as to what happened with his Tesla.

Funny anecdote—decades ago I was driving an old beater car and brought it in for some minor maintenance.

An hour later the mechanic came out and said “Sir you have a major problem with this car.”

I asked what it was and he said “You cannot accelerate in reverse.”

I laughed and said “I don’t care.”

I drove it for a couple of years after that.

:-)

Nothing to see here, move along. Oh, and we’ll round up the usual suspects.

Not a lake-just a pond-aka stock tank-accidents do happen around them, but this is strange-especially with Mitch stepping back-excuse me-I need to find my roll of tinfoil...

Police don’t have the car.

Mitch took it immediately.

This was a cross between Chappaquiddick and Obola’s chef drowning.

“And Mitch is stepping down…”

Speaking of Harry Reid...

Mitch getting out before getting piped?

Would E Musk's Tesla HQ have any transmitted data archived?

She was going to squeal like a stuck pig. Just wondering. How DID Mitch get so rich?

Good question.

I would think yes.
