Curious. I backed my car up earlier and it was super easy. Didn't drown, didn't need to break a window to save myself. Maybe I'm just infinitely smarter.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 8 months ago (1 children)

if you're smarter then why aren't you a billionaire smuglord

[–] [email protected] 63 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because I'm too busy thinking of ways to not drown in a pond.

one fire department crew arrived on the scene 24 minutes after getting a call.

So she was already long dead

Efforts to resuscitate Chao began immediately with paramedics attempting to revive her for 43 minutes.

Only billionaires get this treatment

The existence of the Cybertruck window demonstration video makes this whole thing extra hilarious. Not strong enough to serve a purpose, just strong enough to kill.

Though I will say, that had to be an awful experience for the firefighters or whoever was trying to rescue her, I hope they get some compensation from billionaire-tears

So you're telling me that Musk has ruined Twitter and contributed to the death of a billionaire with political ties? I'm supposed to hate this guy??

He’s waging a protracted CEO’s war against the ruling class after reading Marx and we were too stupid to see. Trust the plan. Patriots are in control

It sure would be sad if they all killed themselves before we got the gui set up.

The capitalists will sell each other the rope with which they will accidentally hang themselves.

lol:

But details of how Chao's Tesla ended up in the pond have not yet been divulged by authorities, leading some people, including J. Kyle Bass, a prominent hedge fund manager and founder of Texas-based Hayman Capital Management, to question if the Tesla was hacked.

"Does the Blanco County Sheriff have the technical capacity to investigate the Tesla logs to determine if the car was tampered with or even hacked?" Bass wrote on X. "This case continues to become more and more suspicious."

[–] [email protected] 57 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Authorities said she may have drowned when her Tesla submerged into a pond.

Interesting

It really is crazy how American view their cars as personal tanks protecting them against other drivers which leads to them trying to make cars indestructible, forgetting that insufficient cushioning for the squishy human inside is much, much more likely to kill them.

Also they need bulletproof glass to protect them from the "criminals", which is why a less car-centric society is a completely terrifying prospect. But at the same time they also believe that we shouldn't reduce the number of guns in the country and everyone should be armed to the teeth at all times.

I'm not really sorry, it sounds horrific but she was who she was...

Honestly it sounds like a scene out of a 00's Ben Stiller comedy. It sounds like a deleted scene from Zoolander. All his friends died except for one, who then put his car in reverse and slowly drowned in a pond.
The fact that they call it a pond even! Not a lake, that would be too big. She drowned in a fucking pond! There's about three carps that will feast on her for years to come.

If I had a billion dollars I would simply never drive myself, and I would not ride in a Tesla. It's the same car that techbros drive and has a subpar safety record.

A lot of celebrities used to drive Priuses as the eco-friendly choice back when it was new, and I didn't read anything about them dying in crashes. But Priuses don't have the acceleration of a drag racer or quality control problems.
