[m4rtin]

Update at 1 July 2022, Tessie still the most popular

The best bit about that list is the generation gap between drivers of Model S ("KITT"), Model 3 ("Serenity") and Model Y ("Rocinante")!

Seen quite a few interesting names popping up for some of the Model 3's being delivered lately, so lets share what did you choose and why?

Mr. Tesla

Maybe I'll call mine HAL.

"Open the frunk please, HAL."

"I'm sorry, Dave…"

Hmmm, maybe not (and anyway, my name’s not Dave).

My blue 3 is named Sonic and the red Y we have on order for my wife will be called Knuckles.

Mine is still Infinite improbability but sometimes the kids refer to it as the tardis

I'm going to call ours Godot.

I'm going to call ours Godot.

Does that mean you will change the name when “Godot” actually arrives?

 

[NoTimeToLose]

That's feeling like a bit of an Infinite Improbability right now!

I named my 2019 M3P Godot. You know, so when I'm waiting in a parking lot for it to pick me up using Summon and I'm asked what I'm doing......

I didn't order or have to wait for mine but that's a much better conceptual use of the name.......Godot would approve, I think.......if he were here........and knew where his towel was.......

 

[PACEMD]

Maybe I'll call mine HAL.

"Open the frunk please, HAL."

"I'm sorry, Dave…"

Make it Marvin.

"Open the frunk please, Marvin"

Ok, but I won't enjoy it".......

And wouldn't that be a foot/fuot? A front boot.......

Black Pearl

New MY will be Zaphod (HHGTTG reference). It’s our second Tesla. And we’re from Tasmania!

Froot!

I'm surprised more people haven’t followed Elon's lead, and gone with Ian M Banks Culture ship names.

Godot may yet be renamed 'Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall'.

White lightening, it’s white and felt as quick as lightening when I first got it.

Marvin from Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.. yes the paranoid/depressive robot.. poor bugger never gets enough credit for being the most human robot of all in modern times haha

"This Will All End in Tears” could be another option!
