Tesla Owners Keep Crashing Into Their Own Homes

1 Comment

You’d think by now nobody would want to own or be around a Tesla.

Their design flaws are putting everyone and everything near them at risk, dragging the entire car industry down.

Alas, Tesla owners this last week again have “mysteriously” crashed into homes. First in Sacramento. Then in San Ramon.

Laxmana Marpu said he was simply moving his Tesla Model Y from the entrance of his house into the garage when the car seemed to take over, eventually plowing into his home. Marpu said he was not on autopilot mode and believes the car accelerated on its own.

The latest case mentions causing damage in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Is that expensive for a Tesla owner who already paid too much money for a defective product well known to cause so much grief? The owner maybe feels lucky this Tesla didn’t burn their house down or kill their children.

Those aren’t hypothetical disasters, they’re very real for Tesla owners. And looking at a case in Texas we see this is a very old problem unique to Tesla that they have been refusing for 15 years to fix with any transparency.

KXAN took the case to Dragan Djurdjanovic, a mechanical engineering professor and expert at the University of Texas at Austin. He investigated similar allegations against Tesla around 2008. “I was shocked when you came to me with this news. I thought, ‘Not again!’ Honestly,” he said. Djurdjanovic said there may have been electromagnetic interference between the cables in the car. “You press the pedal and the electrical command goes to the car. And there could be a break in that electrical connection,” he explained.

I’ve mentioned before here how Tesla “mysteriously” burst into flames and they “mysteriously” crash into poles, leading to astronomical death rates.

Tesla promised it would make the safest car on the road yet instead it has proven the exact opposite with its annual death tolls rapidly increasing.

None of it is really any mystery.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, unintended acceleration incidents happen in the United States at a rate of 1 per 100,000 vehicles per year. But issues with Tesla vehicles are too frequent to be dismissed by user error. For instance, within the first year of the Model X being released, 13 incidents of unintended acceleration were reported, when there were only 18,240 Model X vehicles on the road in the United States—a rate of 71 per 100,000 vehicles.

That’s a horrible rate of failure from a design flaw, causing huge amounts of death and destruction.

Tesla wouldn’t exist without fraud.

A big part of their fraud involves “cooked logs” that nobody but Tesla are allowed to collect and verify. Remember the Enron mystery of fault-free audits?

…a series of markedly similar crashes involving Tesla drivers attempting to park have been described in news reports, consumer complaints, or in legal filings.

If Tesla doesn’t send real-time logs of car data to private personal data storage outside the control of Tesla, then don’t believe a single word the company says.

The Enron CEO was sentenced to jail for less.

You know it’s bad when insurance companies say Tesla blocks them from getting the data. And that’s a huge problem. Who owns the car and who pays the insurance? Tesla is literally denying data owners access to their own data. Basically insurance companies need to start putting their foot down hard on anyone who even thinks about buying into the fraud of Tesla.

Depending on what city you live in, insurers are fed up and you might be out of luck. […] “This is a serious problem impacting our customers and the entire auto insurance industry, so we temporarily stopped writing new business in some states.”

Of course a Tesla ban would make even more sense. They banned lawn darts right? And nobody ever said lawn darts should just sell their own insurance so don’t even…

“Criminal” Fire Damages US Drone Factory Supplying Ukraine

Leave a comment

What is a drone factory? It makes flying penguins, of course.

The Edge Autonomy Penguin C Mk2-4

The Baltic Times reports that a sudden massive fire at a Latvian airport already is considered a criminal act.

The police will investigate the fire, LETA learned from the Interior Ministry. A criminal procedure has been started.

Riga airport representative Ilze Salna told LETA that one of the airport’s five firefighter brigades was engaged in the extinguishing works – it has the only such firefighting car with a container carrying 35 tons of water.

Edge Autonomy, a California company, runs the factory that serves many countries around the world.

Our gimbal systems have integrated software for artillery fire correction to help support ground missions. We ensure our customers that ordnance arrives on target. […] Our aircraft are among the quietest and with the longest endurance in their category – enabling mission commanders the ability to identify and track targets to help enable mission success.

The fact that it serves Ukraine, and that the Latvian government just denounced Russia for evading sanctions, all perhaps comes to mind for investigators.

FBI Announces Arrest of Nazis Attempting to Destroy Baltimore

Leave a comment

There are limits to the first and second Amendments in America, apparently.

A plot right out of the 1916 America First playbook (e.g. Preparedness Day bombing of SF) has been foiled by FBI arrests.

Here are some of the many important details to this new story, as documented by Heavy.

According to the criminal complaint, Russell was using the name “Homunculus” on an encrypted communication app in June 2022 and began talking with an FBI informant. He “encouraged” the informant “to attack electrical substations,” and said sniper attacks could cause a “cascading failure,” the FBI said. He also encouraged the informant to “read a white supremacist publication that provided instructions to attack critical infrastructure”…

Encryption doesn’t do much good to hide speech from the FBI if you’re using it to speak with the FBI.

Also “homunculus“?

German 1916 6-part epic film series follows the exploits of the soulless supervillain Homunculus, a creature created by science, as he wows to find love or destroy humanity. Robert Reinert’s multi-layered script draws on Frankenstein and Faust, as well as Freud, Nietzsche and Marx to create both a treatise on the human condition as well as a comment on WWI. …in repeated fashion Homunculus finds a woman whom he tries to love, but ends up driving her to kill herself, kills her family or is rejected and hunted…

That’s another America First 1916 reference.

Nazism really is rooted in the perverse hateful visions of men like Woodrow Wilson and Henry Ford. Hitler just followed their lead, which few Americans seem ready to admit.

I’m not surprised these white supremacists think their absolute right to own guns today translates directly into license to destroy critical infrastructure like it’s 1916 or the Red Summer again.

Promoting the KKK as “America First” while violently destroying black prosperity, President Wilson’s race war inspired Adolf Hitler in Germany.

Heavy:

Homunculus also stated that the ‘goal is for when most people are using max electricity’ and that ‘follow on [attacks] could lead to cascading failure costing billions of dollars.’

Max suffering? Guns are usually treated by white supremacists as their easiest force multiplier for domestic terrorism, right behind lighting fires. It’s the old Missouri Quantrill mindset, which did in fact start the Civil War. Heavy:

Clendaniel, using the name Nythra88 on an app, began talking to the same informant in January 2023, the FBI said in the criminal complaint, after Russell told the informant to work with her.

User name of 88? That’s plain Nazi signaling. Might as well name yourself Hitler.

She also used the account “kali1889”, named for Hitler’s birth year. Not subtle. It’s like someone wants to flaunt their intent to commit crimes.

Nythra?

Now that’s different. Nythra signals modern seditious conspirator in an American militant “accelerationist” hate cult trying to start race war.

…user Nythra claimed to attended Hate Camps in Death Valley and Washington State. Nythra also participated in a conversation that discussed raping and beheading a woman. The court also heard a portion of the phone call in which he tells his mother that the Garza County deputies, whom he referred to as pigs, were lucky that they caught him off guard or he would have shot them.

White supremacists want to target and control energy. They lust for power. This particular cult even named itself after nuclear energy.

Now back to the point about the FBI using someone’s speech to take away their guns. When I mean someone, I mean a person clearly unwilling to be anti-racist.

Free speech extremist (Twitter).

Free speed extremist (Tesla).

Accelerationists. It’s literally what they call themselves when they hate people.

Get it?

Elon Musk certainly does. Heavy:

Prosecutors wrote, “The fact that Russell lied about going to see his father and was found in Key Largo (at a restaurant and not his final destination), with long rifles and ammunition that he purchased less than 24 hours after being interviewed by the FBI, camouflage gear, and a skull mask, shows the character of someone prepared to follow-through with his violent ideology when called to arms.”

Serial liars, all of them.

Although Elon Musk tends to pretend that being rich somehow makes his lies different. Call it instead openly opposing science and safety regulation to create a state of permanent improvisation — as if nobody reads history.

Consider how a petty and jealous CEO says his workers must be loyal only to him and sacrifice all their family, sleep, feelings.

I wonder what would have happened in this case if mental health services had been more easily available than guns.
