Just got back from the tour. it was a bit chilly but my new
tesla jacket and
Tesla Track Jacket kept me warm on those cold nights. (37F at one point).
When I went out to the obligatory tourist destinations, everyone kept asking if I worked for Tesla.
one museum I went to waived the $30 entrance fee. was it the jacket or was it my winning personality?:biggrin:
I did see Elon's desk in the middle of the "Bullpen" unfortunately at the end of the week he goes to SpaceX. He is at Tesla in the beginning of the week.
We could see machinery working at a distance but when we got closer to each of the stations they all were going on break.
I had a BMW rental car with the auto-engine shutoff when you stopped at a light. (It would start back up when you pressed the gas.) I parked at the wharf in San Francisco for about 5 hours. (Tachometer said 0) When I got back there was a note from security telling me they shut my engine off. Huh? you need to shut the engine off when you get out of the car? And their impressive 4 inch screen that displays the radio dial (and a warning to not drive distracted... every time you start the car.)
I don't know how many times I hit the windshield wipers trying to go into drive/reverse/park. If I managed to remember to hit the "joystick" in the center console I would have to hit it a couple of times for drive/reverse/park, their park button on top is recessed and hard to push, shifting into drive (pull back) or reverse (push forward) requires you to press the side button.
I'm glad I am back and can drive a car where the controls makes sense.
