It's going to be super painful.
Update - Now that I've had a few hours to digest this whole thing, I'm speculating that all these carriers are there to move his fleet when a new building comes up for rent. It is really strange that he is storing cars at all on tech campuses. But he must be getting a cut market rate, and when the landlord wants to raise the rent or the building gets leased - all of a sudden the word goes out to pack this crap up and move it.
Tipsters welcome. You know who you are. I am generically naming my video's for the moment.
That ~was~ securitay coming to shut me down. That's why the video abruptly stops.

Teslas, Teslas everywhere, nor any one to ship?
ReplyDeleteDon't they still have a great long back-order queue? Back orders plus massive inventory add up to a strong hint of some missing part or yet-to-be-corrected design or software defect.
The presence of waiting trucks suggest that someone is optimistic about suddenly getting all those cars ready to deliver. Either that, or there's some urgent need to relocate them before... what?
And how closely is Elon Musk related to Delos D. Harriman?
That's a very romantic comparison. It doesn't really matter what happens at this point I guess. The stories written about this guy and the way history will remember him will be very romanticized. And they won't be completely wrong. That's the funny thing.
ReplyDeleteD.D.Harriman alert! I drove across our state the other day and spent part of the time on the old time radio channel on Sirius. One of the shows was Heinlein's Requiem as an X Minus One episode.
ReplyDeletePlus for Ms. Snarkolepsy... Why was I prompted to watch Russian dash cam car crash videos when yours were finished? You (mostly) drove quite sanely. Mostly, anyway.
There's an even worse possibility for your local economy ...
ReplyDeleteMoving the cars is grand theater for satellite photos.
If there's a persistent stuck inventory problem, why not move it around so it doesn't look like a persistent stuck inventory problem on satellite photos? Google Earth makes it easy to see the lie over a suffiently long enough timeline.
And if the persistent stuck inventory problem consists of DeadCars(tm) and BrokenCars(tm), eventually someone's going to notice.
But now that you are a known quantity to the company's people, most likely easily identifiable to them by funky camera gear, I'd stay away from there ...
That's because you absolutely suck at covert surveillance and could stand to pick up a few pointers as well as some useful gear. :-)
"What are you doing here?"
"Enjoying the fresh air on a walk with my coffee, what's it look like I'm doing here?"
And the best way to get really good photos during covert surveillance ... is to wear more than one camera and to have the cameras concealed well, DUH.
Amateurs. :-)
Oh, yeah ... I FUCKING LOVE RUSSIAN DASH CAM VIDEOS!
Especially the ones in a certain notorious forking tunnel in Moscow ...
There's a great scene in a Jason Bourne film in that tunnel, BTW, if you want to see it at considerably better resolution.
"Plus for Ms. Snarkolepsy... Why was I prompted to watch Russian dash cam car crash videos when yours were finished? You (mostly) drove quite sanely. Mostly, anyway."
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. Really? I think I'm doing pretty good since the wing on that car doesn't even go up until you are doing 76 miles an hour. I technically think that is the minimum amount of miles per hour I should have to drive. But that is not the car I got my ticket in. And I guess it's that time of year that I get another bite at that apple. I'm making the annual pilgrimage to tech mecca in about a month and I'm on restriction for another year. Which is why I should add trespass to my record. Said in the most sarcastic way. Yeah, I'm starting to not look good on paper.
And about the dash cam vids? Maybe that is just your kink. Maybe it's just ALL of our kinks. The funniest thing about Russia is dash cam vids, and bears getting off of busses. Oh and those tiny aggressessive squirrels.
Texas Refugee - I didn't think I needed to be covert in this case. For that I would just just used zoom.
"But now that you are a known quantity to the company's people, most likely easily identifiable to them by funky camera gear, "
Oh, you think it's the camera gear that made me stand out? Not that personalized plate? Hahahahah.
