The Lost Symbol
The Tesla Roadster is mentioned on page 352 of The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I think this is the first mention in a novel ...

Can you post an extract? I think that should be ok copyright wise?
Here's the extract:Originally Posted by MPT
The half dozen cars parked haphazardly in the driveway looked nothing like the police cars and emergency vehicles Langdon had imagined they were.Not terribly exciting!
A Mercedes? . . . a Hummer? ...a Tesla Roadster?

I'm usually not the grammar police, but this one bugged me a bit.
The word is excerpt.
Sorry.

Well, it's nice that Brown (or his editor) thought to gratuitously add in the Roadster to a book that will get read by millions. I particularly like the juxtaposition of the Hummer and the Roadster.
That should have read: A Mercedes? . . . a Hummer? . . . a Tesla?
Now it's brand, brand, model. But I guess just "Tesla" wouldn't be understood by a larger audience.
Ahem.
