Rich people problems
- amelius 5y agoUntil it crashes into some poor person's car.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoTesla owner’s insurance or the Tesla owner will pay for it, just as would happen in this case. No different than you leaving the parking brake off and the vehicle rolling down the hill into another car or someone’s house.

- ceejayoz 5y agoA plane would be well over most folks' car insurance limits.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoWe were talking about other cars, not $3.5M jets, in the subthread. > Until it crashes into some poor person's car. With that said, Tesla or not, you’re going to have a bad time if you hit a private jet with your car at the airport (unless you live in a state where you can just go bankrupt and protect your assets if they attempt to pursue you beyond your insurance limits).
- coolspot 5y agoIt’s not like the whole $3.5MM jet is a write-off. The hull damage and re-certification should be a fraction of the plane cost.
- _s 5y agoComposite fuselage - and the jet engine ($$$) itself sits between the ruddervators ($$$), with the BRS ($$$) just in front - probably the worst place to hit that jet. Easily $1-1.5M. A wing or the nose would have been far easier to inspect and replace.
- martin8412 5y agoThe legally required car insurance here in Spain covers damages up to 50 million EUR against a 3rd party's property.. Same in most European countries AFAIK

- amelius 5y agoWhat if the poor person was injured?
- toomuchtodo 5y agoLiability coverage.
- sdflhasjd 5y agoInsurance is great, but it doesn't automatically mean everyone lives happily ever after.
- badwolf 5y agoor some poor person.
- yeetsfromhellL2 5y agoYeah but think of the wealth that could have trickled down to the middle class and eventually the lower class because of that jet ferrying the rich around to distribute their money as they see fit. Any conscious working class person would have thrown themselves in the way of that Tesla in the name of economic justice. The hospital bill would surely have been a crushing financial blow to him or her, and probably left them bankrupt, and also crippled, but what a boon to their class they would have preserved. Perhaps sympathetic workers could have donated to their cause, and to repair and clean the Tesla.
