The plane was owned by Doug Bourn, a senior electrical engineer for Tesla Motors, the electric-car company said. It was not known whether Bourn was onboard.
I've exchanged emails with a Tesla contact, who said that the other people onboard were TM engineers.
Rest in peace friends. You were part of something huge. You changed the autoindustry, something which is quite amazing.
This electric carmaker — a company that has done everything but paint its logo green in a bid to sell itself as environmentally-friendly — have had a penchant as of late for gas-guzzling private airplanes. But that's sort of been the Tesla way. An electric car without compromising speed or style. The roadster's perfect for the Hollywood and Silicon Valley elite — environmental credibility without having to give up your private plane.
Last week, the love of private planes figuratively killed Tesla CEO Elon Musk's public relations coup surrounding Tesla's acceptance of federal tax dollars after the public learned he forced Tesla to reimburse him for 12 trips he took in his own jet. Now, sadly, the love of private planes — even one as small as a Cessna — has taken the lives of three of Tesla's own employees.
Unfortunate, unnecessary, and insulting.Did you see this crap at Jalopnik?
