In Palo Alto, CA a small Cessna airplane crashed killing three employees from Tesla motors. The names have not been released yet. A statement by the Tesla CEO Elon Mus indicated they wanted to notify the family members first. Tesla motors is a small tightly knit company and loss for this company is devastating according to Mus.
The airplane was owned by one of the engineers of the company, and it appears as if they were joyriding and something went wrong. They crashed into power lines and the plane exploded. Some houses were damaged including a day care, but no one was injured on the ground.
This comes at a bad time for the company as they are preparing to go public and offer shares through an IPO. Hopefully this setback won’t hurt them in the long run.
