Fire trucks must be invisible to the logic somehow SOUTH JORDAN, Utah (AP) — A Tesla sedan with a semi-autonomous Autopilot feature has rear-ended a fire department truck at 60 mph (97 kph) apparently without braking before impact, but police say it’s unknown if the Autopilot feature was engaged.
The cause of the Friday evening crash, involving a Tesla Model S and a fire department mechanic truck stopped at a red light, was under investigation, said police in South Jordan, a suburb of Salt Lake City.
The crash, in which the Tesla driver was injured, comes as federal safety agencies investigate the performance of Tesla’s semi-autonomous driving system.
The Tesla’s air bags were activated in the crash, South Jordan police Sgt. Samuel Winkler said Saturday. The Tesla’s driver suffered a broken right ankle, and the driver of the Unified Fire Authority mechanic truck didn’t require treatment, Winkler said.
There was no indication the Tesla’s driver was under the influence of any substance, and information on what the driver may have told investigators about the circumstances of the crash likely wouldn’t be available before Monday, Winkler said by telephone.
There was light rain falling and roads were wet when the crash occurred, police said in a statement.
“Witnesses indicated the Tesla Model S did not brake prior to impact,” the statement said.
Tesla’s Autopilot system uses cameras, radar and computers to keep speed, change lanes and automatically stop vehicles. The company, which is based in Palo Alto, California, and has a huge battery factory in the Reno, Nevada, area, tells drivers the system requires them to keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel so they can take control to avoid accidents.
Police said they had been in contact with the National Transportation Safety Board about the crash. An NTSB spokesman and Tesla did not immediately respond to inquiries from The Associated Press.
The NTSB and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are investigating at least two other crashes involving Tesla vehicles. In March, a Tesla Model X SUV crashed on a California highway, killing the driver, and investigators are looking into the performance of the semi-autonomous driving system in that crash.

CHANOS: Yes, and so there is a lot going on there and then that’s part of — I think that’s part of the allure of the company and its valuation is the CEO, the problem again is that he’s up against serious competitors in his core business and then finally on that, we track executive departures in this list we put up and it is stunning as to how many senior executives have left this company in the last two years on the only two companies that we’ve seen in our history with a similar executive departure pattern were Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a couple of years ago, and a little company in Houston called Enron and it is never a good sign when almost all your senior executives are leaving at the stock price at a high.
It is telling you there is something wrong and I don’t know what it is but all almost all senior executives at Tesla see something and are leaving stock option packages on the table.

I will never purchase a Tesla now knowing its back by the devil. Soros is pure evil!

Grieving” Woman Attacks Candace Owens Over “Dumb*ss” Agenda — Ends Up Being Complete Liar and George Soros Open Society Hack
Elizabeth Guernsey wrote (LIED): The man I loved and would have married died in a car accident 20 mins after leaving my house. I never married or had kids. @RealCandaceO—Maybe you should think twice before making dumb*ss comments to promote a hateful agenda.
" I feel compelled to retweet this because this is such a prime example of how liberals debate. Victomhood as a means to shut down conversation."
But it turned out Elizabeth whats-her-name was liking herself on Twitter (multi accounts), PLUS her husband liked her too! Long story short, she has a kid on the way. WHAT A LIAR!! Just to score imaginary political pts, for her Soros Open Foundation "work"....
(12) SOME of us have REAL reasons for never marrying or having kids.
We don't go on social media and LIE in order to score political points.
Then again, maybe this "Terry McMahon" entity is another figment of her Twitter imagination...
She still has a different wedding registry open 18 months after the fact, and for all anyone knows the baby registry could be fake too.
PS. No one has been able to track down the incident of "died in a car accident" (as conveniently called, to deflect guilt from car malfeasance).

That would be Trump. He has lost track of 1500 children he separated from their families, and that was just in a three month period. Trump's Lolita/Lolito Express is in full gear.

Wow! Someone still remembers the original DS/MSM psy-op of "Fake News", to deflect from #PodestaGate with some dopey derangements by spamming "details" about Ping-Pong (HRC), and then sending an compromised actor there to "shoot it up" to ensure the point across to any 4chan-ers?
Next you'll be saying that Breitbart was bumped off over the precursor story already back in 2012....
Almost 1,500 Migrant Children Placed in Homes by the U.S. Government Went Missing Last Year
Why weren't they simply deported? Time.com of course gives lying propaganda pic with 5yo, but most "children" probably are 16+ and lie about their age any way (like with Sweden).
Deep State is still WAY too much in control, and Courts (9th) won't let Trump act as he might.

132 suspects arrested in largest Brazil operation against child pornography
Brazilian authorities arrested 132 people on Thursday during the largest operation against child pornography in the country’s history, G1 reports. About 580 search and seizure warrants have been issued across the country. The operation is being carried out on the eve of the national day to combat violence and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. On April 26, Brazil’s Federal Police arrested at least 14 suspects in seven states, including Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, where officials detected the sharing of pornographic material involving minors. Those arrests marked the second phase of Operation Underground, which was launched a year ago, when 18 suspects were arrested in eight states.
The electric car maker Tesla may be in need of an additional $10 billion in the next two years for auto-making and expansion plans to China, Goldman Sachs said in a note. The options to get the funding are new bonds, convertible notes or equity, but each of them has possible drawbacks, the bank says.
“We see several options available to the company to refinance maturing debt and raise incremental funds, which should allow Tesla to fund its growth targets,” Goldman analyst David Tamberrino wrote. “However, issuing incremental debt (including priming current creditors with secured debt) may weigh on the credit profile of the company while issuing additional equity or convertibles at lower premiums would dilute current shareholders.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been cutting costs following production problems of the Model 3 since he doesn’t want to raise capital this year. The company burned through more than $1 billion in the first quarter.
“Tesla’s view that it doesn’t require a debt or equity raise this year is mathematically correct, but highly imprudent from a credit and risk perspective if followed,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Joel Levington said last month. Earlier this week, Musk said the firm was undergoing a “thorough reorganization.”
In the last year alone, Tesla lost over $2 billion. The company was losing $6,500 every minute and needs another $2 billion to get through the current year, according to Bloomberg estimates.

Let's look at the top selling cars in the US in March 2018 for example,
#1 is the Toyota Camry with 35.246 units
#2 is the Honda Civic with 32,584 units
#10 is the Ford Fusion with 16,103 units
#20 is the Kia Optima with 8,010 units
Tesla is now producing more than 2,250 Model 3 per week (they only delivered 8,180 cars for the whole of Q1), so the Model 3 will be in the top 20 selling cars in the US in April (perhaps as high as top 15)
Musk is predicting to produce 20,000 to 24,000 units in June. .
Ok, only 4,777 Model 3 sold in the US in April. Not quite top 20 selling car in the US yet. Of course the Model 3 is far ahead of any other EV models (#2 is the Prius with 2,626 sold, #3 and #4 are the other Tesla models). Maybe in May. They will crack the top 20
It's tough not to believe that they will be top 20 in May. They produced almost as many M3 in the last 7 days as they sold in April in the US.
