lmao have you considered swallowing your loss and getting out? Telsa is still wildly overvalued and the Musk Magic is gone.

the cybertruck is a disaster, twitter is a disaster, elon is a raging chud trying to sell cars to upper-class liberals, and he owes $13 billion to the banks and will shortly be facing decisions like "do I sell more tesla stock to pay the loans, or do I admit that I'm a huge failure?"

about the only good news is they keep winning lawsuits over autopilot killing people... but autopilot keeps killing people so the lawsuits keep coming.

Probably. I'm still holding out hope, though, that someone somewhere called Fox and told them they were a reliable source and sold them a bill of goods. I'm so sick of this "reporting," where anything goes. If I want to know what Twitter is saying, I'll go look. Everyone should become a reliable source for the media, especially Fox.

The car that exploded this week at a border bridge in Niagara Falls, N.Y., was a 2022 Bentley Flying Spur, the authorities said on Friday, an ultraluxury model capable of reaching a speed of 60 miles per hour in four seconds. The police identified Kurt P. Villani as the driver and Monica Villani as the passenger. The married couple, who were both 53 and from Grand Island, were the owners of several businesses in western New York. They were headed to a concert in Toronto.

The base model Flying Spur in 2022 came powered by an eight-cylinder engine generating 542 horsepower and weighed 5,137 pounds, according to specifications from Edmunds, which provides data about automobiles for consumers. Speculation had percolated online about the cars make and model since the crash just before noon on Wednesday, and investigators were exploring whether a mechanical problem had caused the car to accelerate out of control.

About the car

quote:


Bentley recalled some car models in 2021 because accelerators were becoming stuck, creating huge safety fears, two years before a Niagara Falls couple died in a fiery crash in their vehicle. The car maker issued the recall in the summer of 2021 for Continental GT and Flying Spur models built between 2018 and 2021.

The recall notice cited a manufacturing flaw that caused accelerators to get stuck while engaged. A Bentley spokesperson said the recall did not apply to the Mr. Villanis vehicle, since it was only relevant to right-hand cars issued in Europe and Australia.

By the time the fire had been extinguished, there was little left of the vehicle. Its unknown whether the car had a black box that would have recorded the moments before the crash, or whether it survived.

It seems like they had all the anti-immigrant rhetoric ready to go, almost as if they have it as a template where they can just plug in any event that roughly fits the bill and bam theres your story.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
man, that sucks. what do you do if your accelerator gets stuck?
like, I don't know about cars, can you turn off the engine or put it in park or something, or do the gears stop you?

I would think at the bare minimum you could floor the brake pedal and pull the emergency brake and maybe also kind of ease the car sidelong against a wall or curb and hope that the friction slows you down?
and that it does less damage to you and your passengers and your environment than achieving liftoff and kamikazeing a tollbooth from the sky...
