Tom Leykis posted at the Tesla Motors forums about states attempting to ban Tesla sales earlier this year.

I bet more celebs will be buying BEVs. One big benefit is less chance paparazzi encounters when you leave home with a full charge every day.

Maybe that’s why so relatively few have gotten one this far. As I understand it, many of them actively seek paparazzi photo ops…

And they can silently sneak away!

Was listening to Adam Carolla podcast and he was talking about Tesla and John Krasinski. Apparently the story goes that Krasinski SOLD his MS because his new MRS complained about him snapping her neck too often under hard acceleration.

<sigh> Must've been a P85.

He may have quit too soon. A lot of folks are saying that Tesla modified the acceleration profile so it's less "snappy". I wonder if that story had anything to do with the change?

I met Kenny Wayne Shepherd in October and we were talking cars. He had test driven a Model S but wasn't sure if he wanted a P85 or P85+. I think I convinced him to order the P85+.

Looks like she might have signed up after Bonnie.

I know who was in front of me. I suspect she was further back in line.

For sure!

Just noticed there is a proper X thread. Sorry for the double post.

I feel like a celebrity driving my Model S
In Austria Swarowski has one. I think we will soon see cars all over with glass jewelry :wink:

Not her car (as far as I know). But singer Shakira got a ride to LAX in a black Model S.

Ryan Moore

Just watching the latest episode of "Inside The PGA Tour." This week, the guy they profiled is Ryan Moore. At the end of the episode he and his wife and kid jump into a Model S. Couldn't tell version but he had the 21 inch wheels. It definitely seemed to be his car (not a tournament loaner) since there was a garage door opener clipped to the sun visor. Not sure why unless he didn't get the tech package.


UPDATE:
Did some more checking. Sounds as if he got the S85 because he thought the P was too fast.

Great piece And, he's got great taste: Grey interior with matte obeche, best combination

One of my fellow Hawaii Tesla owners said Daniel Dae Kim of Hawaii 5-0 has a grey one...said he was even checking out how he installed his license plate..DK wasn't too thrilled that his was drilled into the nose cone!

I think getting a good PGA player to wear Tesla gear is where they should start advertising. Anyone who golfs always wishes their cart went faster...well this one can over 100mph. It's advertising to the right market segment. Still years away from the need to advertise though.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, founder and CEO of Dreamworks Animation, got one of the first Signature models. I used to work for him for almost 10 years. He isn't much of a car enthusiast, but it seemed the Model S got him excited. After a year he replaced it with a white one. He decided that he liked white better than the black one he first got. He was kind enough to have chargers installed at our parking structure and employees can charge for free.
