A 4-year-old girl, a 9-year-old boy and two adults suffered serious injuries after the sedan they were riding in plunged hundreds of feet off a cliff along State Route 1 near Devil’s Slide – an area known for fatal wrecks, officials with Coastside Fire Protection District/Cal Fire reported.

The vehicle apparently flipped a few times before landing on its wheels, wedged against the cliff just feet from the surf, Brian Pottenger, a battalion chief with the agency, said at the scene.

    1. @M TB learn English. If you want to be taken seriously it would be a good idea not to portray yourself as a moron.

    2. @Sailing the Vic nope, I have drive behind a friend using a tesla and a regular car in different ocassions, same driver, exaclty at the same down hill from 280 to half moon bay, the guy is a great driver, still this piece of junk force the regerative brake instead of letting use regular brake and makes the driving of the car behind the tesla very dangerous, is something in the software, it feels like as soon they feel the inertia of the movement the regerative brake kicks in without any option to disable, we assume is related with the weight of the car and the mechanical brakes being to weak or under proper specification and they “fix” their poor engineering by forcing software to prevent the car runs out of brakes on sharp hills, similar situation when you drive along the highway 1 around santa maria or santa barbara, during summer some of the hills can reach up to 120 F and the brakes get super hot really quick if you dont know how to drive under this conditions, well if you have a tesla infront of you is better just to stop and let them go, they constantly using the regerative brake to compensate for the high temperature of their crappy brakes and you can completly destroy your own brakes just trying not to rear end the tesla. Super dangerous situation, las summer I saw 2 rear end accidentes in this hills because of same situation.

    3. ​@Billy Bowman I can speak 4 language, is not easy to write 4 languges, only morons can feel offenden by their own ignorance as your self. And offcourse not related with the main discussion as any good bot.

    1. Let’s not forget — Musk booted out the original founders.

      Don’t trust the dingleberry — trust the technology & the actual people behind it.

      Car may suck cosmetic wise, but the programming & all are pretty sound. (Auto-pilot still needs some work though, imo…)

    2. @GinJazz Of course you have to start crying about Trump in a story about a car accident. You’re not deranged at all 🤣

  1. Excellent Safety PR !
    Now owning an EV can Still cost you $100k in maintenance and upkeep over it’s carbon footprint Destroying life time.
    Will NEVER buy an EV

    1. You really need to read up on Teslas (not just sound bytes or “average EVs”). They cost about half as much for “fuel” and half as much for maintenance. Ongoing costs are Much lower.
      Battery lasts the life of the car (and then some) and really the only problem is repairing damage costs luxury car rates.

    1.

You are best keep the good work going, I will get in touch with Mrs Charlotte ASAP and begin my investment and trading journey with her platform…

    1. Seriously. How does a car with cameras, sensors, etc. drive off a cliff??? How does the DRIVER drive off a cliff? Was the driver texting, or taking a photo? Did they have it on self-driving and that failed in an area where signal is often lost?

  2. The Spectator (Britain): America can use the atomic bomb, but Russia cannot

    The atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which Putin allegedly mentioned to Macron “to justify the possible use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine”, cannot be considered a precedent, the British Spectator says bluntly.

    According to historian Francis Pike (b. 1954), America not only could, but must, use a nuclear bomb against the Japanese. Whereas Russia has no such right.

    But why?

    Pike’s argumentation is stunningly effusive: it is because Japan was an “abnormal adversary” – unlike Ukraine.

    Let us follow the twists and turns of this gentleman’s logic.

    ▪️ First of all, he explains, the U.S. has bombed Japan before – and nothing. For example, a raid on Tokyo on March 6, 1945, killed 100,000 Japanese. People were boiled alive in boiling ponds.

    “Was death by the atomic bomb more horrific than this?” – the author hypocritically asks.

    Second, the extermination of hundreds of thousands of Hiroshima and Nagasaki “served to end the war and save American lives” – and therefore cannot be considered immoral.

    ▪️ Well, third and foremost, “the problem is that Japan was not a normal enemy,” says the Briton. Then he goes on at length about the “cult of death,” the spirit of bushido, “kamikaze as the norm,” and the fact that Japanese soldiers preferred death to surrender.

    In a word, those Japs turned out to be very unhealthy – they didn’t want to surrender in any way. So it was necessary to bomb them. Twice.

    “Putin will have no such excuses if he decides to use his nuclear option,” the British historian concludes, without revealing this thought in any way.

    ▪️ You don’t know what’s more striking here. The Hottentot morality of “we can and you can’t”? The bias of a propagandist who did not mention a word about the defeat of the Kwantung Army? Or the complete disregard for the Ukrainian death cult?

    Ironically, however, this wild Anglo-Saxon hutzpah is working against Kiev.

    Since, according to The Spectator, Ukraine is a “normal opponent” unworthy of being the target of a nuclear strike, it means that it is not expected to offer fanatical resistance in the spirit of samurai, but rather a normal, quite ordinary and even commonplace surrender – as it is accepted in civilized countries.

    This is a wake-up call for the necrophiles of Kiev.
