So when her guard was down, I pressed the throttle, the phone pivoted from her hands on to her nose. I had a big laugh. She had a big laugh. And I got the attention I deserved.
I hope you didn't have to wait long in the E.R.

I always thought you people who left your car running and left were just exaggerating or trying to make a funny.
Well I have a rental car today (mine is getting the handle fixed and AC compressor inspected), and I walk out of the rental, get my bag and start walking to work. I think the headlights being on is what triggered it, but I had to go back to the car, turn off the ignition, take the keys out and lock the door.
I had a similar experience this June while stopped and waiting to be let through a road repair project on Hwy 120, the Tioga Pass section, in Yosemite. A long line of cars had been waiting for over 15 minutes and people were getting out and walking around. I was chatting about Tesla with an American guy just ahead of me when a German tourist walks up from somewhere in back of me to look at the car. I invite him to sit in the driver's seat and my wife shows him the touchscreen features and talks about the car. We get the signal that the line is going to move soon, he gets out and is all excited and tells me I've made his day, getting to sit in a Tesla and see how it works. So even though there are multiple showrooms in Germany and cars on the road, and this guy was clearly interested in Tesla, this was his first experience inside a Model S! He was stoked.He says I'm so sorry! I have never seen the inside of one! So I said well then come on into the passenger side and sit down. He was astonished. He said No way! I showed him the controls and he snaps some pictures of the dash and screen. He was so appreciative and left with an, that's an awesome car dude and thanks for making my day.

It's fantastic isn't it?
Off topic but I was on a Ferrari forum and there are signatures in some postings that said, "the tesla is a glorified slot car and lacks soul. And I will gladly pass it on my way to the next gas station"
SMH
I think I have my two youngest convinced that it was one of the requirements of buying the car.I think its pretty cool that Tesla owners wave at each other

I used to own Porsche 356's. Yes, they have "soul". But this is the 21st century. It's time to move on from 19th century technology and embrace the future. Driving a Tesla is like driving the future, but I get to do it every day, right now!Off topic but I was on a Ferrari forum and there are signatures in some postings that said, "the tesla is a glorified slot car and lacks soul.

If they feel the need to put such a defensive sounding statement in their signatures, that speaks volumes right there ... :biggrin:
