The guy posted a follow up comment. The charging connector was broken.

What will happen is that politicians will see this as another reason to push for everyone having their ID associated with their Internet traffic.

Yes, because like or not that’s the only possible solution. If all traffic was required to be signed and the signatures were tied to an entity then you could refuse unsigned traffic and if signed traffic was causing problems you’d know who it was and have recourse.

I don’t like this solution but it’s the only way forward that I can see.

what would be the solution?

Simple, not allowing anonymous activity. If everything was required to be crypto-graphically signed in such a way that it was tied to a known entity then this could be directly addressed. It’s essentially the same problem that e-mail has with SPAM and not allowing anonymous traffic would mostly solve that problem as well.

Of course many internet users would (rightfully) fight that solution tooth and nail.

I too read Drew DeVault’s article the other day and I’m still wondering how the hell these companies have access to “tens of thousands” of unique IP addresses. Seriously, how the hell do they have access to so many IP addresses that SysAdmins are resorting to banning entire countries to make it stop?

It’s referred to as “structural adhesive” and it’s used by everyone from Ferrari to Lockheed-Martin.

Honestly nearly every vehicle on the road and plane in the air uses structural adhesive. The problem here is with Tesla, not the technology.

There’s really only two types of vehicle construction for passenger vehicles; unibody and body on frame with unibody easily being the most common; even trucks like the Ford Ranger are unibody. Body on Frame is really only used on Full Sized pickups and SUVs. :)

But not most vehicles that are named “truck”

Here in America every truck smaller than “Full Size” is unibody with the sole exception being the Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon.

I believe you completely about all these checks and balances

This isn’t a “checks and balances” thing. The Governor of Minnesota has the authority to order actual military firepower, like tanks and helicopters, to maintain order at the facility.

What makes you think Walz would be any different?

Hochul is a corrupt hack, Walz is not.

its “how will you stop him”.

The State of Minnesota has its own force capabilities. Tim Walz could ring the facility with State Guard, order tanks to sit in the parking lot, and have combat helicopters flying over the facility 24x7. THAT is how its stopped. The State of Minnesota isn’t a Court, it actually has the ability to enforce things using military firepower.

I don’t really see him presenting much of a problem.

People like you really aren’t worth talking too. Sure bub, a Governor isn’t much a problem. Uh huh.

I want to believe that proper protocol will be followed

This isn’t a matter of “following the proper protocol” it’s that there is NO protocol. The action is specifically prohibited by law and is enforceable by a political enemy of President Trump. People comment about “A court has no ability to enforce it’s decisions.” but in this case it’s a STATE and they DO have the ability to enforce a decision.

Yup, this is 100% a driver created problem. I know that Tesla and the CT are hated right now but the CT easily has the ability to pull that trailer on that trail it’s just that the driver doesn’t know WTF they’re doing.

No just the property of the very rich dude

Puh-leeze. The gal who burned down an abortion clinic in Wyoming also got a 5 year Federal Sentence.

So anyone who damages my property will also.get 5 years?

Probably. It’s what the gal who burned down that abortion clinic in Wyoming a few years ago got.

It’s a unibody, most modern vehicles are built like this. Take the fenders off an Audi, Kia, Mercedes, Hyundai, or BYD and it will look pretty much just like this.

This has clearly been disassembled. You can see the bed which means both the interior and exterior RR panels are removed.

May I ask the name of this place? I’d like to pull it up on Google Maps and have a look at the layout.

What makes you think the person in charge of a prison wouldn’t be eager to please Trump in the first place?

Because they can be immediately fired by their boss Gov. Tim Walz, former running mate of Kamala Harris.

I understand the American System is confusing at the best of times and that right now is not the best of times but you’re talking straight up nonsense. It isn’t possible.

… and he will be released.

It doesn’t work like that. The only way he gets out is if the Governor of Minnesota orders it and Gov. Tim Walz wouldn’t.

He doesn’t care about mechanisms because that’s for someone else to worry about.

There ISN’T a mechanism, it simply doesn’t exist. Trump can write the pardon if he wants but it would be meaningless. It wouldn’t remove the conviction, wouldn’t end his sentence, and wouldn’t effect his release.

It’d be like Germany issuing a pardon for someone convicted of a crime in Spain and trying to order them released. They can issue the pardon and make the order but there’s absolutely no way to enforce it short of direct military action.

Yeah I know. I’ve done that as well. I just wanted to point out that it can be done in FF.

I’m failing to see a mechanism where a Federal Pardon for State charges would result in Tim Walz letting this guy out of prison. What are they going to do? Send the US Military over and attack the place?

What you are describing is completely absurd. It’s beyond hyperbole.
