[f-stop]

FYI just saw this posted on EVannex, looks interesting...

Elon Musk and Tesla to appear in documentary film - in the broadcast premiere of Racing Extinction, this Wed Dec 2 on Discovery Channel.

"...Another surprising star in Racing Extinction is a must-see, breathtaking Tesla Model S. This completely customized Tesla Model S that appears in the film was designed, engineered and converted into an "undercover mobile eco-projection vehicle” integrating both cutting-edge software and hardware to record and deliver content... [the filmmakers] embellished the exterior with a coat of electroluminescent paint, which can toggle the car’s color from black to luminous blue when a current is applied. 'It’s like a modern-day Bond car...'"

you can also see the official trailer here - the customized Tesla makes a brief appearance about 1min30 into the trailer

Awesome!
I think that working with children, like they seem to be doing, and educating them from a young age is key. This is a change that requires a whole generation that thinks differently, and will stop perpetuating old habits and businesses.

Nice sighting of the car they used.

FYI I found an article describing some of the mods on the Model S
I like the electroluminescent paint job, and the creative use of the space available in the frunk!
