  1. This in inaccurate reporting it was not a Tesla. It was a Mecedes. I live across the street. It only matters because I feel for some reason the media loves to report on issues with Tesla.

  2. Honestly, this is why they should never be allowed to be stored in garages

  3. It sounds like Louie doesn’t know a Tesla from a Mercedes. Teslas aren’t the only electric vehicles on the road. Does Louie have something against Teslas?

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
