My Tesla song

[Macman222]

It’s been a long journey waiting for my (and everyone’s) Model 3. The news of production starting even makes it feel longer. So as we await news about details of the first production model, I wrote this song.

Enjoy

Fantastic! (I tweeted it to Elon, btw.) Hope you get your car soon.

James, Thanks for the video. The piano is overpowering your voice. Please post the lyrics. Looking forward to a re-record with the mic positioned to hear your voice better.

Sorry bout that! Thanks for the feedback. Gonna do a studio version soon.

Here are the lyrics:

Just a Boy Who Wants a Tesla
Words and music by James Merryman

I’m just a boy who wants a Tesla
Wanna navigate life pollution free
Wanna leave my mark on the world without carbon
And never letting the trolls bother me


I’ve never liked the smell of gasoline
You know its bad if it can kill you in a garage
In 2017, we can do better
If we charge out phones
We can charge our cars


I’m just a boy who wants a Tesla
Wanna navigate life pollution free
Wanna leave my mark on the world without carbon
And never letting the trolls bother me


I can see the visions becoming clearer
One day we might call mars a second home
Breathing in the air thats clear again
And the freedom to roam where we roam


We’re just a world who wants a Tesla
Wanna navigate our lives pollution free
Wanna leave our mark on the world without carbon
and never letting the trolls both me

Thank you thank you! Well given that I reserved mine April 2016, I probably won’t get mine till late 2018 or later!

James, Your lyrics, music and voice are from the heart. Thank you for making the occasion of the First Production Model 3 a special day indeed. Hopefully a special effort will be made to get your Model 3s rolling into Austin, Texas soon and your hit song on the future Tesla music service. 5 reasons a Tesla music-streaming service is the best idea Elon Musk has had this year

I wrote this song

By the way, how old is this boy if you don't mind telling

Thanks for sharing your very beautiful song and performance!

lol I’m 26 but thought it seemed more dreamy to say boy than man or guy. It’s about channeling the little one inside us that dreams big!
Thanks for listening!

...It’s about channeling the little one inside us that dreams big!...

I was quite naive to assume that you must be a teenage boy but now that you explained it: That makes perfect sense. That's what art and creativity is all about!

Thanks for the enlightenment!

Hi Mark, recorded a studio version just for you: Just a Boy Who Wants a Tesla
Enjoy!

Also tweaked the lyrics a bit - instead of 'never letting the trolls bother me' changed it to 'forget that gas, I'm going green!'

I'm gonna try to go to a Tesla location this weekend to film a better music video for it : )

nice song, i like it. Thanks

James, Thanks for posting the link. The lyric change is excellent and the studio version sounds great.

A Tesla Store, a busy Supercharger location and a Tesla Service center are all good locations for viewing Tesla EVs. Tesla is still working on a Supercharger in your area. Supercharger - Austin, TX

The progress that Tesla has made in the past decade is making it possible for everyone to drive a Tesla. It won't be long now before the dream of Model 3 is a reality everywhere.

Nice job, James! The only part I didn't love was the troll lyric, and I see you changed it in the studio version with a perfect lyric and message. Well done.
