I'm wondering what various people on this forum have as their very first Tesla memory. How did you first hear about the car? Was the concept of an electric car new to you? Did you see one on TV? Did you hear a friend talk about it? Did one silently woosh past you?
Especially if you eventually ended up buying one, what was the defining moment where you went "whoa, I have to have that thing".
I'm super curious because lately, with all the Tesla Time I've been doing (still not totally used to it) I've noticed some people who come up to me seem to know literally ZERO about the car. Some of them think it's a Mercedes or a Maserati and have never even heard of Tesla or electric cars. I love talking to those people because they always seem the most flabbergasted. I feel like I'm alerting them to a possibility of transportation they never considered. Now if they ever hear about Tesla on the news, or from their friends they will have a different perspective on the whole thing. It's cool to think maybe I've sewed the Tesla seed in someone else's mind
Anyway, I want to hear your stories! It can be the first few distinct memories, not just the very first, because I think sometimes discovering something you love takes a couple happy coincidences.
