This is stepping onto the “Evil” side, and done for the sake of a “trend” it’s going to get people killed some day. (BTW as mentioned in the article the legal age in MA is 16 anyway)
Edit: originally put “innocent people” but then decided, no, socialnet clout is not something for which you want anyone dead.
I came to see if this had been mentioned in either of these threads. Here’s the NBC story.
My wife works for a wastewater treatment plant in beautiful Seattle, so she works for the Pretty City Shitty Committee.
(She works for King County though, it ain’t itty-bitty.)
What’s up with this shit, anyway? Seems to be a recent spate of them.
You might want to read the post 4 above yours. The whole post. 
Whoa - not sure how I’d miss that given my unerring, shining perfectionism.
That guy head-faked all of us with the bit about the tiktok flash mob assault, then threw the jet stowaways in at the end as almost an afterthought.
I just want to know if they were baked in a Wal-Mart bread oven first.
Several fraternity brothers at San Diego State University are being charged with felonies after a pledge was set on fire during a skit about a year ago. Note that the burned student is one of the four being charged.
Turns out the Vegas Cybertruck bomber used ChatGPT to plan his act, which I assume explains why he drove to the wrong Las Vegas first.
That’s laugh out loud funny if it wasn’t such a serious outcome he was planning.
New Mexico? I can’t see anything about that in the article. Am I just missing it?
“ChatGPT, make me a bomb that works this time!”
Nephew was to drive from Texas to Colorado. He somehow managed to end up in Wyoming… Took him an extra day to get to our house.
Some people are simply directionally challenged. My wife and I found it hysterical.
It wasn’t in that article, but a map was released which showed where he stopped to charge his truck between Denver and Las Vegas, NV. One of those stops was Las Vegas, NM, which is on the route he took. So he didn’t drive to the ‘wrong’ Vegas first…it happened to be on the way to the ‘right’ Vegas.
I’m guessing he took that route to avoid the mountains in Colorado, as it’s 300 miles farther than driving on I-70. Or maybe there are more charging stations along that route.

That’s a hell of a detour to charge an EV.
You have hit the nail on the head.
It’s what keeps me from going electric. Sure around Phoenix is fine, but I like to travel and I like to drive. It takes a full charge just to get out of Arizona! Going east (to I40) it’s uphill all the way.
Though I would be interested to know if going I70 would have worked. Can’t the Wankenpanzer go over a little 11K foot hill?
I had not heard that before. Bravo!
I don’t dispute your point or your concern. Having lived in SoCal, Phoenix, and Las Vegas and having a pretty good handle on Southwest geography and the interstates …
ISTM that about 20 Supercharger or equivalent generic facilities installed at existing truck stops would serve 100% of the presently under-served interstates in the non-urban SoCal, NV, AZ, NM, CO & WY market. 30 tops. That’s a trivial infrastructure project. Trivial enough that I’m a bit surprised it doesn’t already exist.
Tesla shows plenty of charging stations along I-70 and I-15.
So either he went through NM to avoid the mountain passes in Colorado, or he put in the wrong Vegas as a destination. I’m guessing the former, but we’ll obviously never know.
Perhaps he had an unrealistic degree of range / recharge hassle anxiety. I imagine many folks new to EVs (rent or own) worry excessively about that until they have more experience.
Maybe he just wanted decent green chile.
