I didn’t get in at the open but still made a small profit. I’ve already closed it out. I’ll feel dumb if the stock craters on Monday.

Parent's worse nightmare lived.A mother retrieving her toddler son from a $TSLA parked in her garage instead has the car suddenly accelerate, slamming her against the wall.The car wouldn't stop, breaking several bones & causing premature delivery of 2nd child.Harcourt pic.twitter.com/7Nqp8gGJBh— luis carruthers (@orthereaboot) May 28, 2019

of course people are saying "the toddler did it could happen in any car" in the comments despite the fact that the key was in the woman's possession and no a toddler cannot start a car that's in park and put it in drive and accelerate without a key in the ignition in any other car that exists

every new parent worries that they could be run over by their absurdly expensive smart car with Falcon Wing doors. few are forced to live this parent's "worse" nightmare.

from the description in the full court document, it looks like she left all of the doors open except for the front passenger door with the key inside? and her son got into the driver's seat and accelerated the car by pressing the pedals. so the case is that other nice cars have additional safety features. my partner's car engages the parking brake if you start it with any door open. my car doesn't care. teslas are such a weird combination of impressive and crappy.

also seems like maybe the doors just close automatically if you start using the car?

in retrospect maybe tesla’s inclusion of those insane / ludicrous / matricide modes was ill-judged

if somebody was critical of something about automobiles in general, he'd point out how tesla is such a small fraction of the automobile total. this point kind of worked against the idea that they were affecting substantial change in the industry.

t/s: elon musk vs the escobar family
Remember Elon Musk’s “Not a Flamethrower” from last year? Pablo Escobar’s brother Roberto recently launched his own eerily similar product, a device he said looks almost identical because Musk stole the idea from him and then beat him to market.He told Digital Trends that he expects Musk to pay him $100 million for the idea or else he’ll take Musk to court. Escobar, brother and former accountant of the infamous drug lord, told us that he made a deal with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO to launch the device under the Tesla umbrella. In exchange, Escobar said Musk was supposed to pay him 20% of the profits.“Then he changed the name to ‘Not a Flamethrower’ to avoid any type of deal we had,” Escobar, who is also the founder of Escobar Inc., said. Last February, Musk said he changed the name because many customs agencies would not allow him to ship anything labeled “flamethrower.”

Escobar, brother and former accountant of the infamous drug lord, told us that he made a deal with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO to launch the device under the Tesla umbrella. In exchange, Escobar said Musk was supposed to pay him 20% of the profits.
“Then he changed the name to ‘Not a Flamethrower’ to avoid any type of deal we had,” Escobar, who is also the founder of Escobar Inc., said. Last February, Musk said he changed the name because many customs agencies would not allow him to ship anything labeled “flamethrower.”
“It is very clear that Mr. Musk has done wrong here, we are assuming that he will settle with us at any moment now. Our flamethrower is a far superior product as evidenced by videos that are now going viral, his is simply not cutting it,” Daniel Reitberg, COO of Escobar Inc., told Digital Trends. “That is what happens when you try to copy someone. It looks good, but the functionality is just not there. Some people may think that is small, but imagine what else Mr. Musk may be doing behind the whole world’s back?”Escobar added that thing Musk isn’t doing is running Tesla well — and he has some business insights to share from Colombia.“Nobody is using Tesla here,” Escobar said. “I heard some people in Mexico use it to transport drugs with autopilot,” he added, though he didn’t provide any evidence.As for what Musk should do about it, “I think Elon needs to clear all of his business issues and take Tesla and his life more seriously,” said Escobar. “But start with sending me $100 million.”

Escobar didn’t provide us with any proof of the deal, but if Musk doesn’t pay up, he’s prepared to take the issue to the courts.
“That 20% is now worth about $2 million,” Escobar said. “However due to his slander, and due to his non-payment, we are requesting $100 million.”
“I do not mind [becoming] the new CEO of Tesla if we win a judgment in the courts,” said Escobar. “I am sure that I could run Tesla into profits.”[/q]

In Australia we had a spate of residential PV fires caused by poor quality and poorly installed DC isolators. Water would get in they would short, heat up and catch fire. I’d put a small amount of money on this being the installation contractors fault not the fault of Tesla.
