Nothing broken, no bodily injuries. Protocol for smoke inhalation. He'll be aight.
Five-star prospect and USC commit Alijah Arenas placed into an induced coma.
- Thread starter permdaddy
- Start date
Probably on his way to train I’d imagine kids a hard worker. I have no idea but I’m sure praying for the young man. Would love to have him here one day in blue and white.
That’s good news, kinda strange that coma is standard for smoke inhalation unless it’s a pain thing if it burnt his lungs or something. That said. I’m glad he’s ok from major damage. Prayers for him and his family.
Yeah Lipo batteries burn hot as can be and you can’t put them out without sand or something kinda medium like that. I’ve watched so many bad ESC’s or batteries in RC cars and they just melt in seconds. That would be my one fear of an electric car, having a malfunction in the garage or something. That fire would take down your home quick.
Gosh I hate things like this. Prayers for the young man and all involved.
Could be just saying I hope he wasn’t doing something wreckless. No telling what happened. Just seems bad stuff happens early mornings. You would have to hit something hard to damage that tank of a truck. Glad to hear no major injuries. Regardless of what he was doing I just hope he’s ok. 👍
Thankfully looks like he’s gonna be fine. The words induced coma would scare the hell out of any parent, no doubt.
Land Cruisers are sweet. Have a buddy with one and he loves it. I’m completely off the Cybertruck. Have been for a while. But I still love the look. I know not for all. Either love them or hate them. I’ve moved on to RHOs and the toned down Raptor for now. Totally needless, but gotta have a little fun.
Prayers to him and his family, hope he wakes up soon and makes a full recovery. How does something like that happen? Always be mindful of your surroundings I guess
Ohh I knew you wasn’t meaning anything bad. Hope it didn’t seem that way. It sure looks like a hard hit and you’re right those are tough vehicles.
Yeah I didn’t think you did, I just wanted to clarify. I didn’t want it to sound like I was accusing him of doing something wrong.
Glad to hear he's going to be ok. This will stick with him for a while mentally I'm sure. Car wrecks can really screw with your head for awhile after they happen. When I had one in Nashville, I took me a few short trips around town to feel comfortable driving and being in a car again. And I was able to walk away from that one. Can't imagine being hospitalized after one.
Prayers he continues to improve and get back to doing what he loves.

Why would anyone want to drive one of those stupid looking cyber trucks much less a teenager. If you think driving an electric truck makes you cool at least drive the Silverado EV or Ram EV instead.
He just used his emerald mine money to buy the company. He doesn't actually design any of the vehicles. He probably had a say in what he wanted to get a futuristic truck but he doesn't come up with the cars or truck himself. Just like he doesn't come up with the rockets for SpaceX. He's just a rich person, he doesn't do anything for those companies other than say "I want us to build a truck now" then people do it.
I believe that to be the case, but my mother in law went in for an outpatient procedure was supposed to go home after but didn't come back from being put under so she had to go to ICU for a couple days before she came back. She obviously is not as young or as in shape as he is but weird things happen. I'm praying for the young man, nobody deserves to see their child pass away.
R.I.P Terrance Clarke as well. Wish he could've seen the full extent of BBN before he passed.
Those look nice but all EV's suck I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.Why would anyone want to drive one of those stupid looking cyber trucks much less a teenager. If you think driving an electric truck makes you cool at least drive the Silverado EV or Ram EV instead.
I agree and wouldn't own one but if I did it would be one of those or a Ford Lightning not a Cyber Truck.
I wouldn't mind that UK blue on a normal Silverado tho. 😊
MSNBC talking points memo😊. Do they send them with the monthly newsletter🤣
If what he has done was so easy, why haven’t 100 other billionaires done it! It isn’t that he has all the money, it is what he has done to get it. SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal, The Boring Company, Starlink, the Neurolink deal. It is like when Jasmine Crocket says “he Ain’t no genius”. You just shake your head and ask what the heck kind of drugs is she on. Sure he has help, but he is the driving force.
My only point about the cyber truck being ugly was that I wasn’t just saying it because I hate Elon Musk. Is he perfect, no. But he is pretty damn good. I would be elated if my daughters were a 1/100th as successful as he is.
He hit a fire hydrant (a blessing I would think) at 5 a.m. He was able to roll in the water!

Yeah, I got all excited about an EV truck...then did the research. They're not all they're cracked up to be. Hybrids seem to be a much better option.
Wow, the good Lord was looking out for him.He hit a fire hydrant (a blessing I would think) at 5 a.m. He was able to roll in the water!

I’d get an EV if I had more than one car to drive around the city. I rarely travel so it would save me a boatload of gas.
I'm kind of the same way. I think if I had the disposable income to just throw it at an EV I would. They are SUPER fun to drive. But from a place of financial value, they basically have none. Until they figure out a way to replace the batteries, they'll never hold their value. I bought my truck in 2015. I've got $36,500 in it and it's worth about $18,000 today. I can't spend $60K on a truck knowing that in 8-10 yrs it's basically going to have zero value. But...if money were no object, I'd definitely own one!
They look like a low-polygon Sega Saturn Daytona USA car.
If they could be any more useless or ugly, they would be owned by Jeep.
I thought they could replace batteries now they are just super expensive. A Tesla battery replacement has a 8 year 150,000 mile warranty. They cost 13-$20,000 to replace if they are out of warranty.
That is one of the 2 big hang ups I see. The second is that usually a house is not prepped for charging an electrical vehicle, which means you have to go through the expense to get the correct outlet setup. If you don’t have the space in your electrical panel this could require expensive upgrades. Then, the subdivision grid was almost assuredly not planned for a large number of EV’s. It is a very deep problem people should explore before they buy EV’s. I think EV’s have a place, but lots of things to consider.
I would drive the Dodge Charger Scat Pack EV just because it goes from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and it looks cool. 🤣
That is gorgeousI would drive the Dodge Charger Scat Pack EV just because it goes from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and it looks cool. 🤣
If they are trying to pretend to be a "muscle car" I like it a lot better than the Mustang EV
Looks like a challengerI would drive the Dodge Charger Scat Pack EV just because it goes from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and it looks cool. 🤣
We have a Mustang Mach E. The Premium, not the GT.I would drive the Dodge Charger Scat Pack EV just because it goes from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and it looks cool. 🤣
They told us it would go 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. I haven’t timed it. But I believe it.
It’s faster than we ever need a car to be.
I have the same model as you. It's a bit over 4 seconds 0-60, but I wanted the extra range over the GT. Like you said, the premium is plenty fast. I do like the suspension on the GT better, and am envious of the heat pump in the 25s.
It's my commuter car, we still drive one of the ICE vehicles for road trips.
We have never charged it anywhere but at home.
We have the Tesla adapter. But just don’t feel comfortable taking it on long trips.
So more than 200 mile trips we take a gas vehicle.
I was concerned about that when we bought it. But we also have a Chevy Blazer. The Mustang is 500 lbs heavier than the Blazer.
