Model S Celebrities

[SwedishAdvocate]

I'm not going to lie. I'm really disappointed over the really, really tragic draught in this thread.

As a most unfortunate contrast, this blog:

Celebrity Cars Blog

…is just a really tiresome litany of – shall we say – 'not very enlightened' people making ’not very enlightened’ choices (Those not buying a Tesla or another electric car that is...). And that’s really extending my diplomatic wording abilities to the very brink (which I on the other hand might have to do if I want to avoid seeing this post disappear, this being a family friendly site and all…).

Anyways...

So I went looking for someone that might have been omitted. I just skimmed through the following though, and I haven’t heard of him before – even though I have a vague recollection of hearing about Bellona previously. Hopefully there aren’t too many skeletons in the closet…

Nice going on KP's part. Hope more English, Aussie and eventually, Indian cricketers jump onboard. They have the resources for sure.

I don't know if this qualifies as a "Model S Celebrities" but a few days ago I had the pleasure to ride twice with this gentleman in Paris aboard my S85.

My Tesla in Paris on Twitter:

Most amazing ride as the discussion switched to a "behind the scene, software analysis" almost immediatly -and other things-.

Mind-boggling experience.

You are indeed fortunate to have spent time with Tim Berners-Lee, someone who richly deserves his status, as opposed to vacuous "celebrities" who have done nothing to effect meaningful change in the world.

Effecting meaningful change in the world is not the definition of celebrity.

 

[ecarfan]

@RobStark, agreed, I was contrasting the typical modern celebrity, e.g. actors and Kardashians (hence my usage of "vacuous") with well known people who have significant accomplishments to their name. The definition of "celebrity" encompasses any famous or well known person. See below.
--------------------
ce·leb·ri·ty

noun
a famous person.
synonyms:famous person, VIP, very important person, personality, newsmaker, name, big name, famous name, household name, star, superstar, movie star
antonyms:nonentity
the state of being well known.
"his prestige and celebrity grew"
synonyms:fame, prominence, renown, eminence, preeminence, stardom, popularity, distinction, note, notability, prestige, stature, repute, reputation
"his celebrity grew"

Effecting meaningful change in the world is not the definition of celebrity.

Nothing in ecarfan's post implied that.

Yep I think the point is clear: we celebrate entertainers and athletes above achievers in other fields. It's ok to lament that.

"I got caught in a drive through last night with my dog Risa. Hope everyone has a great New Years. Thank u for making 2014 unforgettable. "

Oh snap, it's Fluffy! I don't think a Model S can hold Fluffy, Martin and Felipe. Volume-wise, maybe, but not weight. :biggrin:

Hypnotist Marc Savard's P85 stolen.. gets P85D in return

The thief was found.. his wife! This guy really seems enthusastic about Tesla, both in this video, and in his original P85 delivery/pickup video.

Marc Savard's Show in Las Vegas is amazing truly a good time if your in Vegas check it out. The fact that he is from Alberta is also pretty cool.

 

[Krugerrand]

Did he say what I thought he said...replay...yep, he did. LOL!

 

[Grendal]

I love his enthusiasm. I don't see why he couldn't have just hypnotized his wife into using the car less. Or maybe he hypnotized her into letting him buy the P85D! Great videos!
