    Obama drives past Tesla

    I guess I didn't get around to posting the story a couple days ago that Obama would be visiting an EV facility in California.

    Obama plans to visit electric vehicle facility | detnews.com | The Detroit News

    In stead of visiting Tesla or a "Detroit 3" facility he went to Southern California's Edison Electric Vehicle Technical Center. <yawn>

    However, he apparently (accidentally?) drove past the Tesla LA store.

    I wonder what they were doing there... That is a long way from Pomona...

    He needs a Model S Limo, given how much fuel the current one uses...

    Perhaps he was on his way to the Tonight Show set.

    Or is it a "security safe" route.
