Then we’ve got one final mission for Randy Quaid.

Story about seeing Tesla cars from space includes no images of seeing cars from space....

I’ve said before that Tesla’s biggest advantage was the Supercharger network, but since that’s been opened up to anyone, people who want an EV are no longer funneled to Tesla.

You got to yell really loud for them to hear you now.

This is issue with our current system of fines; even for stuff like SEC violations. If the penalties are less than the gains, then the fines just become “the cost of doing business”. The penalties should be more than the gains.

Time marched on and they got “old” too.

A long time ago here on the Jalops I weighed in on straight-piped BS noise from microphallus infantiles making life unbearable in my neighborhood. I got more than a few replies along the lines of ...

I’d expect people to take it out on the car, not the person... where does he park it?

If he’s making money off of illegal activities, this seems ripe for civil asset seizure. The city should be able to subpoena his income statements from the various platforms he’s posting on.   Then, if the figures don’t add up to the $750k, throw a forensic accountant on his ass and find the real source. 

Or invite similar/rival influencers to record it and profit form it.

Because nothing would make this guy happier than to be able to post a video to his YouTube channel titled: “The cops crushed my car and made me film it.”

If you really want to hurt him, make him watch but not film...

Social media is his income. He probably makes enough in views that the fines won’t deter him.

Take his license, crush his car and make him watch.

It’s almost like misfortunes can strike in a split second and leave you needing something more than bootstraps to get back on your feet.

It’s not that hard. I got to drive one at a local museum. It’s like driving a car with a different manual shift pattern, you quickly adapt. And they are so slow you have plenty of time to think about it. Ultimately, they are kind of like driving a lawn tractor in that you set the throttle to whatever and just mostly go…

Given how the functions of the Model T’s pedals are so bizarrely different from the usual clutch/brake/throttle arrangement as one of the dudes showed the Ford Guy, I’d like to know how he rewired his brain to actually drive it.  I couldn’t.

I highly suspect it has been happening for decades, but now we have the internet and 24/7 news cycle so it’s easier to find out about stuff like this. I suspect pre internet something like this was only reported locally, in this case in the Netherlands.

Here’s hoping the pilot pulls through, and those on the ground also get the follow up health, mental as well as physical, they need. Hell of a thing.
