#NBCNews #Tesla #Cliff
Getting a Tesla
Put him behind bars and take the kids away from that crazy mom and put them in a better home. 2 children were almost murdered and no action is being done
Wow, a woman that defends her family? That’s something unheard of
🫨
What are they hiding😳
She doesn’t want him charged with attempted murder? She’s nuts too. Poor kids, I’m worried for them.
I just find it very difficult to believe that all 4 of them survived that crash. Tesla or not.
It sounds like he needs professional mental health treatment. And he denialism doesn’t help. Maybe they are very private, thats fine, they don’t need to share all their business with the public. But I hope they don’t just ignore his/their underlying issues that led to this. Very dangerous for all involved.
That Was Nun But Jesus!
Stan ???
Probably cause he knew he was being spied on and had enough of it.
Oh ok
These Teslas are so safe you’re more likely to get the electric chair than die in one.
*The guy needs to be locked up and forced to undergo psych evaluation and psychiatric care for being a self-absorbed narcissist.*
Interest rates man.
That’s why MAID should be an option for severely depressed people who want to end their lives to avoid harming their families or the society. This case would have been yet another murder-suicide. 😢
War???
Which war was he talking about? He’s indian living in America !
Why do you have to mention Tesla? Why you just don’t say “car” Is it an advertising for Tesla?
If you’re trying to do that. Don’t take others with you. Or I mean don’t do that but ya know.
Wow!!!!😮
Whoever said tesla quality isn’t reliable ,look they all survived that fall
Doesn’t Tesla have cameras inside and outside of the car?
How did they survive that😭
Makes me think n Wish that Hart family survived :/
Electric vehicles people, make ya coo koo
This is old news, shouldn’t you be reporting on the illegal weaponization of the FBI against a former president? Oh wait your the MSM that’s right
She needs to be a Mother rather than a wife in this case.
Saying he wanted to check for a flat on a Tesla? I’d think a car that is designed to practically drive itself would have a sensor that would send a notice to the display panel that a tire was flat or had low pressure.
It does. You can also view the pressure of each tire on the display. Not only that, if one or more tires are more worn down than the others, the car will tell you to check that tire. His story is garbage. I’m sure the camera footage from the car and the sensor data will prove that.
The bible says in the days before the judgment and return of Jesus, people’s hearts will fail them from fear of what is coming. Everything is explained in the bible book of revelation all the prophecies are happening now. Please pray to the ALMIGHTY Father God Most High the 1 true living God. Repent for sins and forgive. Love God love eachother follow Jesus please time is short!!!
❤🙏❤ LOVE 💜 HELLO TO YOU AND 🌞 YOUR COMMENT IS 💯% TRUE AND IS ALSO JUST 💯% EXCELLENT 💚 PEACE AND 💜🙏💜 LOVE AND BLESSING’s TO YOU ALWAYS AND TO ALL ❤🙏❤ OF THE TRULY HONEST AND RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE FROM 🌞🥰 KATHERINE IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS ON FRIDAY MAY 19 , 2023 AT 5:37am 💙 💙 💙 💙 AND THE MARATHON CONTINUE’S 💙 💙 💙 💙
I cannot believe they survived
All jokes aside.. I want a Tesla now ❤
The 4 Tesla models all rank in the top 6 safety scores ever recorded.
@Caleb Chramow I believe it 👍🏾
Word on the street says he knew about Hunter Biden’s and his ol dads corrupt ways
Derepressed and driving a Tesla, and he probably had the means to seek psychiatric treatment, unlike many under privileged people. What a pos.
Guy learns the hard way that marriage with kids aint nowhere near as good as being a bachelor. He could have listened to his fellow man but some guys are so thick they wont listen and have to experience the ‘ol “ball and chain” for themselves. For a lot of men depression is created from knowing for a fact that your life dreams are being ruined by factors beyond your control. I know because i have already been there and long since recovered.
Whether or not she has stockholm syndrome for this guy they should have their kids taken away. Her for protecting the man who tried to murder her and the kids (by her own admission so she knows it was intentional) and him for the attempt
Wow a doctor with a nice tesla, and family is suicidal? Lol
It possibly because the tesla brake not working properly
Car ? Teslas are cars
She’s been probably driving him crazy with her materialistic greed
Wth, you have it all,and still not happy
If the tire was flat then it would say so on the huge center screen inside the Tesla.
The Tesla computer should have all the logs what happened and if it was intentional. There shouldn’t be mystery about it.
I’d trust the records more than the wife’s word.
More than likely, it was the wife’s mouth that drove him over the edge……
Horrible wife for a men to do that
Does it matter that it was a Tesla? Would you have mentioned the car brand if it was a different manufacture? I doubt it.
Depressed about the war? Which one? Lol. How terrible, if you want to self delete then do it by yourself. Feel horrible for the wife and kids
Pos
Why do I feel like this Same exact crash happened about a year ago, with the same exact result. Deja vu is real. 😮
Isn’t this old news. Why do they keep giving the same stories.
Definitely a nut job democrat
If she knows, her lawyer and herself should get her out of that dangerous marriage to a hateful vengeful man! Also, make sure she has a hotline link with authorities and self defense plan and tactics ready and tro legal bars to her stbxh! Public should handle rules of evidence carefully, because indications of psycho husband’s intent may only be coming from wife! Could the children’s statements corroborate hers? DA have witness statements or recordings of the defendant saying he wanted to eliminate his family and self? Be careful he doesn’t go up the river on the testimony of a pre-vindictive estranged wife!
He should be pushed off by himself😊
Depress about the war?! The doctor is sick. Treatment prison.
Tesla’s have an interior camera that records accidents and corrective steering that he would have to override by yanking on the wheel
They lived and it didn’t explode !
Another case of car-related domestic violence. BAN CARS!
That’s amazing that the wife and kids survived.
Why do they say it was a Tesla?? How does that have any bearing on the story? Who cares what brand the car is?
Again, why is “Tesla” in the headline? If he tried killing his family in a Geo Metro, would it be any less disturbing? Who gives a crap what the make of the automobile was?
Depress about which war?
It’s a miracle they all survived.
Best safety test for Tesla.. can’t wait for cyber truck
Great advertisement for Tesla!!
They must be Very safe cars.
If he tried once and failed he may try again.
I don’t believe anything NBC posts anymore. Half of their reports are pure fiction. Sad.
Another Tesla safety commercial. Hope the kids are alright!
Dude had a successful career, plenty, of money, beautiful family, and a smoking hot wife… Lock him up!!!!
He must’ve been doing something that he didnt want his family to know, else why would you want all to die and not just yourself?🤔
God Is Always In Control ❤ LIVING FOR A PURPOSE 🙏
If they ever release the cockpit voice recording, it will sound something like this:
Female Voice: Nag, nag, nag, nag, nag nag
Male Voice: Shut up or I’ll drive us off a cliff
Female Voice: Nag, nag, nag,nag
Glad they were in a #tesla because that saved their life.
She needs to charge him. Because if he is let free this will end bad for her and the kids.
splitting the family up anf jailing someone struggling with mental illness is not justice
Tesla’s are the safest car on the road.
That’s wild
is this an ad for tesla?
Thank you God. Bless those children
Great ad for tesla
This is truly END OF TIMES❗️❗️❗️ I am glad wife and kids are fine🙏
Only a woman can make you drive off a cliff in an argument
Nice Tesla commercial. 5* crash rating.
Oh he did it on purpose
I can confirm teslas have internal cameras watching you always one of the reasons I do not want one fast as all get up and fun to drive though 🏎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful.
She’ll stand behind him, he’ll get let out of jail with no punishment and finish the job he started!! SMH
Who wants a Tesla after seen this?
Probably in a lot of debt
Wow.. kudos to Tesla for being that crash safe. That’s pretty impressive. And it didn’t blow up and burn.
She’s scared and she NEEDS that Doctor MONEYY. fir a good life. Sooooo. If you were in the car you would scream to people right away that you knew what he did. But could you live and get by without his money ?!? 🤔
surprised they were still insistent on naming the car brand when it saved the people’s lives. normally the mainstream has only been saying its a tesla when theres no way to put a positive spin on it
Sponsored you tesla
Tesla’s have cameras. Just watch the footage, it’ll tell the whole story..?
If he gets away with this….He will try it again. The demon inside of him will try again. I pray he will be healed of this depression demon.
The war? Huh? What about the camera? Tesla recorded everything
This is a really good ad for Tesla safety
It’s a fake story , wake up…
i speak both sanskrit and tamil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t buy a Tesla if you want to get rid of your family.
