Just be sure they don't have their stick with them when you first meet.

Just be careful if you ever drive up to visit our friends north of the border sporting a plate like that!

"A Tesla the Hun!" Unveiled

First of all, let me apologize! It's been like a whirlwind tour for the last 36 hours and I have not had a chance,
until now, to take a break and post some pix! My brain is fried so I'll just post this picture for now
& in the immortal words of the Terminator... "I'll Be Back!" (or did he say, "I'll be black matte!"?)

The destruction of a great car. Ick.

Can you write a break-down of all the modifications that were done to the car, including the price for each modification (and lots of pictures of course)?

Everyone's a critic...

Let's see some more pics. I'm getting a police cruiser feeling, but want to see it from the front... and the interior. Come on doc, let's see it.

Got a sneak peak at the good Doctor's latest Ian-ization.

If your looking for honest, I hope you really enjoy the car, wheels look like Ben Hur would have them on his EVIL chariot, think the two tone wrap destroyed the elegant lines of the car, the forward rake of the body is gone, I'm no stylist so enjoy your work.

Congratulations on personalizing your car, and creating a very unique car: I hope to see it on the road when I'm in LA.. I personally prefer the stock feel with it's own distinctive look.. something about the two-tone look reminds me guys with their Pontiacs in the 1980's... but, that's just me.

Incredible how the two-tone changes the feel of the car. Looks much more sporty than stock to me.

With 3,000+ of these in CA, this one really stands out.

The wheels are too goth for my taste, but the rest of it looks incredible. Congratulations.

All the peeps!

Thank you for those of you who came out to Supercar Sunday today on an 'off' weekend. :biggrin:
Glad to invite new Tesla Model S owners into the big tent (as well as one other 'old' Tesla owner):

Had a fun time also at the Cigars & Cars event introducing "A Tesla the Hun!" to all those exotics
that can't understand how a 7-passenger car can keep up with their 2-passenger cars! :cursing:

 

[Jason S]

It reminds me a lot of classic American muscle car looks. Prolly the stripe and two-tone.

Very striking. Can't wait to hear about the sound system upgrades!

 

[tdiggity]

Finally! I've been spying the photos on Instagram that AE and the others that worked on your car were posting (follow AE54 or hashtag #tesla) but I didn't want to spoil the fun for you.

Hope you enjoy your car! I want to check out that brushed vinyl next time I'm in SoCal!

Teslaccessories center console

Teslaccessories center console product is heads and shoulders above the rest when it comes to beauty and artistry.
The obeche-gloss matches the factory's obeche-gloss perfectly, as does the leather color.

 

[brianman]

The coloration makes it look like a Volt from a distance.

 

[MikeK]

Congratulations on finishing the project! I hope it's everything you were aiming for. I'd love to see it in person.

I think your wheels look great. These are the first non-Tesla wheels I've seen on the car that I have found appealing.

something about the two-tone look reminds me guys with their Pontiacs in the 1980's... but, that's just me.

Not a problem. I realize that there are 31 flavors of ice cream & although I like Rocky Road, its not a huge crowd favorite.
I'm hoping that by engaging people in a different and distinctive look, we may pull in a few more newbies into this BIG Tesla tent by starting the conversation!

As for the two-tone, its kind of like picking names for kids. Everyone has their preconceived notion of what a "Pricilla, Biff, or Sven" looks like based on their past experiences,
but yet you need to realize that when you make it your own, it will take on a whole new personality. I like to look at it as a disruptive design!
If I'm catching flack, I must be over the target!

Here's a picture, just e-mailed to me (by someone who's been lurking) & I saw for the 1st time a few hours ago.
I'd say that Bugatti can not be considered a cheap car manufacturer!
This is the ad as posted in Motor Trend Magazine - The same magazine that made the Tesla Model S it's 2013 COY by unanimous decision!

I'm committed..or should be committed. :wink:
Ordered mine tonight!! Silver Performance Model. Estimated Delivery Date: 4-29-13 to 5-31-13
I wonder if "HCKEYFVR" is available?

Teriyaki88... Congrats! I'm so excited for you! The first time I congratulated you was on your first post (which was on this thread)
and now in your 2nd post you've pulled the trigger! That's got to be some sort of record? :love:

The plate was "HCKY FVR" as they only allow 7 letters.
After getting a bunch of blow back about hickeys, I eventually changed it to "HOKY FVR" which I still have on my wall!
Of course, its changed now to the one you see on my avatar to the left :wink:

Nice photos, added to the album right here, if OK with you.
