Come on, y'all. Politically connected Taiwanese billionaires with close ties to the CCP have accidents in ponds out in the country all the time. Tragic accident, nothing more, obviously, so stop asking questions and don't let your curiosity lead you to wonder if it was a suicide or something more sinister, and if either, why. Sometimes Teslas just drive themselves. Case closed.

Bottom of a tesla is completely flat so it could've yeeted far out in the water depending on how fast she was going You right though. The car might've floated for some time into deeper water.Tibbers said:
Ah, very interesting point. The address in question is only where the car ended up, maybe not where the accident initially took place. I'd check properties up river as well. Cars don't just sink when they get into water, so the fact that the car was already submerged by this time suggests the car had been in the water for a little bit. Perhaps awhile, which again goes back to, who found the car initially and who called it in.
We only have the second half of the story.
So the Breyer Group can have a ranch, but it's sudenly a problem if Elon wants to build a personal residence close to the Gigafactory warranting SEC involvement?Some Junkie Cosmonaut said:Quote:

What are police protecting the big rig driver?
They have a mix of fulltime firefighters and volunteers in Blanco County. Also firefighters are required to write up their incident reports a lot quicker than cops are required to file their reports. Firefighters are not gathering evidence or anything else that is investigatory, thus their reports are completed much sooner.Tibbers said:
Here's a question. Why is the police not forthcoming but the fire department is? These aren't elected officials so what would the fallout be from complying with requests for journalists? Is the fire department down there volunteer? Perhaps that's why they don't care?

Full autopsies can take weeks or even months to get all of the toxicology and tissue sample reports back. Blanco County relies upon the Travis County ME's office to conduct autopsies for them. So there's a bit of delay there as well depending on how busy that ME office is at the time.Tibbers said:
I'm only referencing the article posted which suggests the police have not been forthcoming at all. Again, that's the Statesman, not me. However, if it were cut and dry, wouldn't we know by now what happened? I mean, if it were obvious, there wouldn't need to be much of an investigation, right? Further, as we have seen with the autopsy report not wanting to be made public, could there be a push there as well? You know way more than me hawg, so please enlighten us.

Tell us more about the property, please.BT1395 said:
The total ranch is worth FAR more than $5mm. I can assure you that I am very familiar with the ranch, how they assembled it (including the adjacent property with the air strip), and how much they paid for everything. But none of that is relevant here to the scenario. The previous owners listed have nothing to do with this.
It was a tragic accident - nothing more than that.
She went into the lake, and it was speculated in earlier posts that the car floated a bit before it went under. It's entirely possible she went in where any car could have, then floated 50+ yards in a direction that made it inaccessible to other vehicles.Stat Monitor Repairman said:
Emergency vehicles and tow truck with high ground clearance couldn't get adjacent to the area but a Tesla with no ground clearance did at some point?
Are you referring to any of the bodies of water near the Ranch House that has to one hole golf course behind it?Tibbers said:
Yes, the middle of the lake is 75 feet away from the edge. My main question is how did the car get close enough to the water?
