Pet Names for the Model S

So, has anyone named their cars yet? I named my BYO Model S Katniss, in honor if a certain young adult novel-turned movie.

I wanna hear some good ones, folks.

I have named my beater/commuter bicycle "Rocinante" but I have never named a car and had it stick. I plan on naming my Model S not sure what I am going to use as of yet.

"Tess, my redhead" is starting to grow on me...

Electriraptor?

Is it time to start a 'Pet Names for the Model S' thread? It would be similar to Pet Names for the Roadster.

edit: Yes, it was time.

A German friend of mine named his VW "Otto". :biggrin:

Mine could be Teslache, easy ;-)

That's kinda like calling your car Kmart......

I've never had a pet name for a car. Those I know that did, usually it's a rebuilt classic or something sort of run down and it's a humorous name. I've wracked my brain, but it's just "my car". I have a similarly hard time thinking of a custom license number.

Maybe someone will end up naming it for me.

I'm with ckessel on this one. Might sound silly but, naming a car makes it rather personal for me; it'd be that much harder to part with it eventually and any little dent/chip etc. let alone any major mishap will hurt that much more

It'll indeed just be "my electric car".

I like it, but then it would eat you. That would be bad.

I have a 96 Pathfinder that is known as The Bucket, short for Rust Bucket. My son took it to college so we replaced it with The SOB (Son of Bucket). In each case, the car has picked its own name. Someone says it and it sticks.

I had always had pet names for my cars. It shocked me when I discovered shortly after meeting my wife that she had done the same. I guess it was a perfect match. For some reason cars have always been female and trucks/SUV's male. Currently we have:

Winston
Thumper AKA Orca
And Freya

I'll call it "The Pit", because it's where I dumped all my money...

I'll call mine, "The Shocker" for the many obvious and not so obvious reasons.
