Clearly the Editor at Notable Biographies has an axe to grind with the TM CEO as well, as the pic they chose is, ahem, less than flattering ... :rolleyes: Lisa. PS Sadly, if you took 100 pictures of me, I would bear an uncanny resemblance to a chicken is 99 of them :eek: However, in that 1...

:eek: Wow! That is the worst picture of Elon I have ever seen! Lisa.

This report alarmed me, so I contacted Martin to make sure he was OK. He is fine, but quite shaken up. The accident was not Martin's fault - the other driver was escorted from the scene in handcuffs. Yikes! Martin is hoping that his car can be repaired. Lisa.

Meh I went to a presentation by the CODA CEO, Kevin Czinger, yesterday. There were test rides (only the CEO got to drive). I did not ride. It was raining, I was late ... I don't think I missed much. I wanted to like it, but it was just , well, meh - both the car and the presentation. The...

It was fun. Tesla Motors - Engineering Lisa.

From the FAQ: Tesla Motors - FAQs How big is the trunk? The trunk has been designed to accommodate a carry-on wheeled bag or a bag of golf clubs. The trunk also features a “false floor” with sufficient room to stow the included factory soft top when not in use. Need the...

Ahem. Extract Definition | Definition of Extract at Dictionary.com 10. a passage taken from a book, article, etc.; excerpt; quotation. \ Lisa, former editor, Tesla Motors Blog.:wink:

Here's the extract: The half dozen cars parked haphazardly in the driveway looked nothing like the police cars and emergency vehicles Langdon had imagined they were. A Mercedes? . . . a Hummer? ...a Tesla Roadster? Not terribly exciting! Lisa.

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 ... Fame! Lisa.

EVs are back for good. Lisa. Off topic : There's nothing like some spotted dick after dinner :biggrin: Spotted dick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good times ... Of all the things I miss about being at TM, I miss the blog the most. It was fun back in the days of the clay rat and the clashing doors ... Good times. Has anyone else noticed that many of the author's pics are no longer there? I rarely look at it now. Lisa - keeper of the...

Wow! That is the best color I have seen so far - I want it on my next VW Beetle :rolleyes: Lisa. PS, I named "Very Orange" :biggrin:

Not a good look Am I alone in thinking that Elon looks rather uncomfortable in the suit and tie? Yikes, that shirt and tie combo is ghastly. :eek: Lisa.

For all his piss and vinegar, he appears to be right more often than not. Just sayin'

Oasis is across the street - PF Chang is across the street and up the road a few blocks ...

My favorite quote: "Tesla was so adamant about losing time as the pee break his crew looked to pit stops of the best teams in Formula 1: blinking right - stop - unzipping fly - fly rezippage - flashing left - start."

I was absorbed by the loss of my Oscar, so I missed out on any last minute design decisions :biggrin: Lisa.

Who was that in the passenger seat ... Funny story. Chris Paine was about to release his movie "Who killed the electric car" and he wanted some footage of the Tesla Roadster to run just before the credits. After much engineering angst - cars were in short supply, we only had 2 - the best...

The halibut shirt The shirt in TEG's pics was the first prototype shirt that the blog team and one of the awesome CAD guys designed. It was indeed rejected because the car looked fuzzy. The final shirt had a much cleaner image. The shirt was given to people who posted blog articles - I have...

The winning bid .... .... was $120K.

Out-of-date spec sheet? I just took a look at the spec sheet - looks a little dated to me, so the winner would get quite the bargain at $109K.

Still not loving it The dash looks like it is covered with a giant leather bean bag. Not a good look ...

Not loving the furry interior Not loving the furry steering wheel or carpeted dashboard. :eek: TC.

Oops - my mistake. Airbus leaked the docs about the 787. Not enough tea today :eek: TC.

Take a look at this presentation on the Airbus http://www.planebusiness.com/buzz/airbus2.pdf Build quality, production problems, glowing washers in the fuel tank. Scary stuff! TC.

Please be thoughtful I would like to encourage the kind people of Tesla Motors Club to be sensitive when posting on this subject. Remember that the individual so casually identified by TTAC has a life, a career and a reputation. As someone who was named in the press during the January debacle...

I suspect that he has moderation turned on :cool:.... Tin.

Great photo ... ... I bet the video would be even more amusing :biggrin: Tin.

I saw the finished video .... I saw Stardust over the weekend and there was an ad for PGR before the movie started - it is not obvious in the final video that the red car is a Tesla, but it is a cool ad. TC.
