Tesla Executives Die in Plane Crash

My prayers go to their families.

this sucks, we need high powered electric cars to be the ferraris of tommorow :S lol

Damn, not only is this tragic for the victims and their families, but it may have an adverse effect on Tesla Motors, a company that I have been keeping a close eye on. Tesla Motors needs to succeed to show the world that the United States can still pioneer and innovate.

Thats a damn shame. Hopefully this won't hit Tesla too hard on its stocks. I remember reading that they haven't been doing well recently. This may do quite a bit of damage to their company.

Don't like it? Don't read it

anyways electric cars ARE about technology.

This isnt funny dude! Three people died in the crash, 2 of witch work for a company that makes the world a better place, its pertinent because it somehow questions the future of Tesla.
NOT FUNNY;/

Ironic death to those people. They build electric cars but died by flying into high powered electricity wires. Sad news.

Why would employees of an electric car company be on a non-commercial plane? You would think that if they actually believed in that "green" stuff that they peddle, then they would use a commercial carrier when they needed to fly.

May they RIP.

Isn't that kinda weird! they were working on an electric car and they died by electric lines!

so why were they flying so low? i guess these days it's safer to drive

Karma for stealing American tax dollars with failed business model and product that mostly lies and hype.

I'm very surprised to that no conspiracy theorists jumping on this one yet?

Anyone considered that this could have been arranged. Imagine if their product takes off.... ahem. pun intended.

Ok, 3 people died and we got people here saying that they somehow deserved it.

Maybe "karma" will be coming to you.

major bummer.

It is bad luck these days to be in any that automotive related.

You, sir, are an idiot.


Thoughts go out to the friends and family of the executives though. Sad news indeed.

I vote to have El_Capitan banned.

Sad news...especially for a company that was dedicated (though probably just as a produt side-effect) to making the world a better place.

I thought you were talking about about NVIDIA!

Tesla ignored risk mitigation 101: never ever put all your eggs in one dangerous basket. Amateur aviation is relatively safe, but still leagues worse than commercial aviation. Add to that the fact that all three guys decided to pile into the same aircraft, and you have an object lesson in risk management. It's a tragedy, no doubt, but this should serve as a warning to others.

Trolls shouldn't be allowed to post here, trolls SHOULD be in 4chan or other pointless forums. Here at toms hardware trolls shouldn't be allowed, I second that vote to get El_Capitan banned. After all maybe the FBI should investigate him? maybe he caused the crash? He is celebrating a little to much over these deaths. My thoughts go out to the families of the people that died, if you are reading this sorry for your loss.

Of all these years we have been on the internet(I assume), why are you guys even acknowledging El_Captain? Don't enable him!

Maybe we shouldnt post anything, all it does is feed the troll....... BTW El_Capitan your computer in your bio sucks lolz.

OK, I'll take a crack at the crazy conspiracy.

So let's see... Toyota forced into a recall and nailed with bad publicity in the media... now a plane crash that is devastating to Tesla motors.

If we get a 3rd problem, there is a pattern.

Seconded! Jane, could we have some Admin intervention please?

I am going to guess that El_Capitan has his account hacked.

ok you maxican't phuck, cut it out

The self-righteous ones like you are the more dangerous ones. Now, if Tom's had a policy and he were breaking it, I'd say they'd have a point. For example, maybe the cursing is proscribed. But, once you ban, you open a can of worms. As it turns out, people just keep voting his stuff down so it disappears quickly anyway. If you click on it to show, you wanted to see it, so why are you complaining anyway???? Most of this was hidden before you even posted here.

Again, of the two, you are worse. He's a moron. You're something worse.

I will tell you from experience as an Admin for the rest of you guys who ask Jane to do it, it's one of the most distasteful things to do. If you dolts stop responding to him, he'll stop posting. Didn't you figure that out (and yes, he'll respond to this, but it has to be said despite this). Besides, don't you like voting him down?

This is sad... thoughts and prayers go out to their families. I have liked Tesla as a company ever since I first read about them. I hope that this does not impact their products and research.

this made me laugh, but there is a lot of truth in it, lol

If nothing else I found the f***********k's entertaining after each post.
