Experience.
Good point. And I agree that is very true with media like Motor Trend, Car and Driver, etc. But I don't think it's quite as true with the more generic media sources, like NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN... I could be wrong there, but that is how I see it.
Right, because I never see car commercials on CBS. /s
Yes, the Devil made HIM do it. I knew something was off in this story.
"Investigators have not determined what driving mode the Tesla was in at the time, but that does not appear to be a factor in the incident, the CHP said."
No mention of fire?I grew up on the coast and worked as a volunteer fireman for several years. I have repelled down that very bank and it is steep but not a straight drop. the south end of the road has no guard rail and there is a turn out area next to the old bunker.
I marked the end point and possible path of the car.
I've never been there, but it looks from video from the scene that the point of rest for the car was at the arrow below (looked to be just below the denuded slide path). Witness reports said they were driving south at a high rate of speed (from the direction of the paved parking lot) so I think a possible path was the yellow line. This route would help explain how the crash was survivable because of the bowl shape of the slope and inertia of the car, it would have tended to slow the deceleration to survivable levels because of the long path the car took.

Let me know when you go. Maybe I'll come down from the Blue mountains and compare with you. I driven most of the Oregon coast down to Northern California, but only glimpsed the California coast as a kid.
Ooo… I’ve been wanting to ride the Elkhorns for some time, a reliable source suggests it’s one of the best trails in the state. Easy sell to my wife since the hotel in Baker is supposed to be haunted and my wife loves that stuff.
There is also the Hot springs hotel just outside of Union. It is still in the process of upgrades by a new owner and management. But, they have a theater, bar, and lodging... and it has been on the "Most haunted" list for quite a while being an historic sanitarium/hospital/therapeutic hot springs. Oh, and the concept seems to be similar to McMenamins for the theater and food/drink.
