Collective noun for a group of Teslas

[vfx]

I believe we already covered this elsewhere but we now have to settle on a descriptor for a bunch of Teslas.

ie: Pod for whales, murder for crows

If we have not already covered this, it's worth a thread.

 

[Kevin Harney]

I say a MW of Teslas

A throng of Teslas? A troop/troupe of them?

Or how about a shock of Teslas? Actually, shock's etymology is: Middle English; akin to Middle High German schoc heap.

...we now have to settle on a descriptor for a bunch of Teslas....

Collection?
Assemblage?
Gaggle?
Pack?
Quantum ("A quantum of Tesla assembled at the track...")

How about just part of the Tesla collective?

Kevin would probably go for "A cabal of Tesla"

 

[Kevin Harney]

I might if I knew what a cabal was LOL

If someone can track down the previous posts where we discussed this topic, I can merge them with this thread here.


The memorable ones from then were a "Torque or Teslas," which I don't like for its misuse of physics nomenclature, and a "Coil of Teslas," which I think is pretty good, but it makes them sound springy (not sure if that's good or bad).

I'm A-OK with that one, said the guy with COIL as his personalized Roadster license plate...

"Most of the gassers fled as the cabal of Tesla arrived chanting 'race for pinks!' "

I like "a shock of Teslas", but here are some additional suggestions:

a team of Teslas, or a teem of Teslas

a flux of Teslas (esp. if they are driving past at high speed... :biggrin

a shoal of Teslas

a tachyon of Teslas ( Tachyon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

a quiver of Teslas ( as in "a quiver of arrows...)

a flight of Teslas

a formation of Teslas

a torrent of Teslas

Ahh, I think that's enough from me...

 

[lorencc]

A bolt of Teslas. (double pun: lightning & quick acceleration)

 

[bobw]

How about a charge of Teslas, as in cavalry.

 

[Kevin Harney]

two Teslas have a Mw of power so I think a MW of Tesla's is good .... referring to more than two.

 

[SteveF]

a Grin of Tesla's

a Rush?

 

[TEG]

A bolt of Teslas. (double pun: lightning & quick acceleration)

Hmm, I can see how you would come up with that one!

 

[DaveD]

a Rush?

Please, not that. We'll have He-Who-Loves-To-Be-Named getting all of the mileage out of that one that he can.

 

[TEG]

Hmmm.... A "Rush" of "Tesla" fans?

Are they car fans or heavy metal rock fans?

 

[vfx]

Wow. This thread brought them out of the woodwork.

Not sure if we did this before. There was a similar thread were we tried naming the Model S.

My votes are for

A Charge of Teslas

A Juice of Teslas

A Coil of Teslas

If I had to pick now it would be "Coil".

:smile:

 

[SteveF]

Are they car fans or heavy metal rock fans?

They can be both! But I hadn't considered the "he who loves to be named" drawback...

After further consideration, although I still like "grin", I think either "bolt" or "charge" would do nicely.

 

[TEG]

So a 'grin' of Tesla owners could share the Tesla grin? :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

In that case what about 'smug'?
