light hearted request... your car name? - and why

[Riversurfer]

Lucy, in the sky with Starman. License reads JUICY. ‘Cause she fills up on electric juice.

 

[Sam1]

Hunter, after Hunter S. Thompson

 

[dgo3]

Jabir after Jabir Ibn Hayyan, credited with applying scientific methods to alchemy and in the process laying the foundation for modern chemistry.

 

[AdamMacDon]

BlueStar, the development code name for the Model 3, although the car is also blue so that's what most people assume it references

 

[Flashbagman]

'Mr. Fusion 3'

From Back to the Future.
Additionally driving it for the 1st year cost less in total Electricity than the gas My Buddy puts in his truck every month.

 

[AZAV8R]

HAL. If you don't get it, you are too young!

 

[Mach3]

Lightning - as in...

EPIC!

 

[adomanim]

I went from a 2000 Miata so I feel your pain and joy. Luckily, my Miata continued running until I was able to pick up my Model 3

 

[Silver Rocket]

Silver Rocket
Metallic Silver Model 3 Performance

 

[Tderani]

My black TM3 is being delivered on 9/16 and already calling it Black Mamba, or Mamba for short. I’m a huge Kobe Bryant fan, so this is my homage to the Black Mamba.

** it’s like picking out a baby name before they are born lol. Oh I’m gonna baby you Mamba

 

[lozza]

P3D-
"Rocket"
Looks normal, but it's not
And it ties to Elon doing some space stuff

 

[Deep Purple]

HAL. If you don't get it, you are too young!

In that vein, mine is Nostromo

 

[Teefal]

Mosey ... irony.

 

[Flanman]

Ours is red, so the name is SCARLET, of course

 

[Sophias_dad]

Mine is 'Stacy's Mom'... some of the lyrics to the song work pretty well. I waited more than two years, she's got it going on... and so on.

It also leads lots of double entendre's... I can't think of all of them of the top of my head...

Stacy's Mom is hot(on a summer day).
I'm warming up Stacy's Mom(on a cold day, remotely).
Stacy's Mom is fast.
Stacy's Mom has nice curves.
Stacy's Mom is taking me home.
Stacy's Mom is giving me a ride.

For some reason, my wife doesn't really like the name Stacy's Mom

 

[MichaelP90DL]

Tessie Too (so far), because she's my second Tessie (first was a blue 2015 MS P90DL, now in San Diego).

 

[pacopico]

.8PF

AKA Lagging power factor

 

[Daniel in SD]

Pregnant Prius because someone said the car looks like a pregnant Prius and I thought it was funny.

 

[MichaelP90DL]

HAL. If you don't get it, you are too young!

Ya know, that movie is 52 years old, but it's so classic and timeless I think most everyone would get it. I caught it at the Cinerama theater in San Diego when it came out.

 

[scooter62]

Elektra. Because I had heard the name of the movie and it certainly fit the Tesla. She seems to be a bada$$ character. So hopefully that fits the Tesla too!
