The Re-Charge 'History' Of The Cyber-Truck Army Guy

 Thanks to Tesla....you can review the route taken by the supposedly dead Army guy from the Vegas Trump Hotel.

First stop for recharging after picking up the vehicle?  Leaving Denver, he arrives at Monument, Colorado....a 59-mile ride.  Yeah, you typically get 340 miles on one charge.  So it is awful  early in the trip to charge-up.

Second stop?  Trinidad, CO.  He got 148 miles on this charge-up.

I should note here....a typical complete charge would take 2.5 hours.  If you didn't need a full charge....then 60 to 90 minutes would be enough.

Third stop?  Las Vegas, NM.  130 miles accomplished on this 'leg'.

Fourth stop? 127 miles 'leg'....arriving in Albuquerque.

Fifth stop?  Gallup, NM.  144 mile leg.

Sixth stop?  Holbrook, NM.  95 mile leg.

Seventh stop? Flagstaff, AZ.   90 mile leg.

Eighth stop?   Kingman, AZ.  146 mile leg.

Finally arriving in Las Vegas and last charge-up.  107 mile leg.

So you do the math here....about every 100 miles of driving (assuming at 70 mph)....he's pausing for 90 minutes minimum....to charge-up.

Was there a more direct route?  Yes....but you would avoid that in winter....typically.

Is he charging up a lot?  This is a region with limited off-ramps, and limited charging stations.  You can't be picky.

Is he sleeping and resting in these pauses? Well....this part of the story....you don't know.  FBI says he didn't rent a hotel room....it was go-and-pause for the whole  trip.

Using camping gear?  Well...he bought the gear prior to the trip....so you assume he was camping in some way.

Most economic vehicle for this drive to Vegas?  Back in early 2024, it was in the $225 range (per-day).  It's NOT a cheap vehicle to rent.

If you were asking me for a vehicle to rent, then to drive from Denver to Vegas....out of a thousand  possibilities.....this would rank near the bottom.  

Do I believe any part of the suicide story, the gravitational drones, etc?  No....it just all seems faked-up.  It could be a paranoid shizophrenic episode, with a drug mixture....with one or two pieces of facts, and  the other 70-percent of the story being faked-up....either by this guy, the gov't, or some 'friend'.

The Hair-Dryer Incident

 In the early 1960s...Barksdale AFB had a project where they were replacing all of the WW II barracks.  There was a row of 12 buildings erected and completed around 1963.  

When I got there in 1981...they were 18 years old.  To be honest....they had serious problems by this point.

I probably killed at least forty cockroaches a week in my room (3rd floor).  The AC marginally worked.  The original carpet had a funny mildew smell.  The mattress (original one) was crap. 

Along about 15 months of residency there...I came 'home' one day around 4 PM, and was there to change clothing and get my book for the evening college class.  Some disturbance occurred on the first floor....requiring a fire-truck/ambulance and the alarm was for folks  to leave the building.  I went to the two evening classes.....I didn't get back till almost 10 PM.

The building was dark.  The normal  door I'd  enter was 'engaged' in some way, and I had trouble opening it.

Some guy came to the door and said there was a natural gas leak  in the building.  Some guy on the first floor had showered around 4 PM...come into the room to run his hair dryer, and lit a smoke....having this 'FLASH' of fire erupt (this was the guy who needed the ambulance).

So I was allowed to grab 2 days of clothing....and directed to the base hotel.  

A week later....the word came down.  The base refused to renovate anything more in this zone....everything was to be torn down within 18 months.  

The $hit that hit the fan? Well...the AC was crap from that point on.  The last 3 months of this era?  Winter period, and the heat  marginally worked.  It was enough the final 4 weeks to keep the room at 45 F (yeah, brisk).  

I was transferring overseas....a week or two after that...they moved everyone to a brand new building.

The new building?  Well....I talked to someone who'd  been there in the mid 2000s, and they indicated this entire row of new buildings (1984 finished) were crap by 2000 and they were already planning the next batch of new barracks.  

Looking At This New Orleans and Vegas Terror Acts

 Just odd.

Both were US Army and at different times....passed through Fort Bragg.

The Muslim guy in N-O....had earned a DoD medal for Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

Both rent vehicles from Turo.

The Vegas guy? He lives in Colorado....rents the Tesla Cyber-truck from there....drives it 800 miles to Vegas.  He selects a vehicle which will absorb the fireworks explosion fairly well....intending just to kill himself at the Trump hotel, but not really doing much damage to the hotel or killing others.

The N-O guy....does his act at 3 AM?  If he'd been out at 11:30 PM....he probably would have killed five times the number of people.

The first thing the FBI wants you to know....the N-O guy is not a terrorist. Within six hours....that statement is regarded as a joke.
