  1. So I’m a bit of an expert on the San Gabriel, at least for a few hours this morning. Got a call from a relative who lives in one of the flooded RV parks, that the Georgetown police had knocked on her door and told her to GTFO. Wife and I drop kids at friends down the street, head up there in our minivan, expecting to quickly empty much of her RV into it, well at least the important stuff. We get there, water is way up, she’s not leaving because either her RV goes or she doesn’t. She’s got two small dogs and we had them ready to go, but she’s pissed. The hitch in my minivan is good for small boats, kayak trailer, smaller uhaul trailers and bike racks. I’m not driving down into muddy/rocky area and trying to tow an RV that will tax my van - my van is worth more than her RV. Thankfully a friend in the area came through in minutes, got her RV towed to a local school and we moved her and her car up from the park. That shit came up so fast though. There were RVs that had bad wheels or problems or whatever that couldn’t get towed in time. I counted at least a dozen in one small section, which given that I know a few of them, that is their home, so it’s got to be devastating, TLDR: Georgetown PD (or whatever law enforcement agency it was) did good work and got people evacuating. San Gabriel came up really fucking fast. On, and if you live in an RV, don’t own a fucking sedan, own a truck or SUV that can pull said RV instead of relying on family and friends of family to drive up from Central Austin to help you out.
  2. So I half expected something like this today Musk: We happen to have a few CyberTrucks on hand, and we have a lot of CyberTruck owners in Texas, we are going to Kerr County to do some rescues Kerr County Emergency Management: We appreciate the offer Mr. Musk, but we only want trained first responders operating in the area. Musk: We will still send some CyberTrucks that you will use. Kerr County Emergency Management: Again, Mr. Musk, we appreciate the offer, but in many areas, power is out, and there is a massive amount of rain still forecast. We looked into it and your CyberTrucks may be liked by their buyers, but we have concerns about their suitability in wet conditions and with their heavy weight, they may become more easily stuck in muddy areas. Musk: Pedophiles.
  3. A lot of investors probably have no clue about the carbon credits and tax breaks stuff. I’ve known multiple people who bring up how successful Tesla is and I tell them that a big driver of that is the American people giving them tax breaks and other companies buying the credits and they get confused..
  4. What did you do to piss them off?
  5. Shit, if things keep going the way they are going with AI and everything else, you might be able to get real Americans making cheap shit again.

  7. It's not like there are a bunch of idiots with big trucks in Round Rock that would turn those parks and off-road loads into a mudding competition....complete with deep-ass ruts.
  8. He has been bitching about the bill, about it attacking solar energy, he's pushing SpaceX stuff. Oh, and retweeting pro-Tesla tweets that with 7,400 cars sold in Turkey, it's the best-selling car there (in June) and with 520 or so cars sold in Ireland, it's the best-selling car there (in June). And he's retweeting polls and people calling for him to start an America Party.
