Pet Names for the Model S

[Andrew]

Hahaha! Yeah, not so much.

Since 1999, my vehicles have all had names based on characters in the movie Matrix. So far, their names have been:

2000 Honda Prelude - Trinity
2001 Toyota RAV4 - Tank
2005 Acura TL - Persephone
2009 Acura MDX - Morpheus
2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R - Apoc

My 2013 Tesla Model S will be Oracle (as she represents the future).

Admittedly, I am reserving Neo for if and when I get an NSX... but having been bitten by the EV bug, Neo may be Tesla's next-gen sports car.

I am sorry to say, but if your MS is smoking, you did something wrong.

My green "dragon" is called ryuu, or 竜.

"Green T"

I didn't plan to name her that, but I was calling her "T" preceded by various adjectives depending on the day. My wife called her Green T one day, the kids latched on, and that's now her name!

Aaron- funny thing. I went back thru this thread and looks like I had seriously considered naming Lithie Serenity back in May '12.
Not sure why I changed my mind. Though I did that with my dog too. He was supposed to be Jack but some how ended up Jake. Guess I'll just blame it on my ADHD.

Best one. Elementary, really.

A German friend of mine named his VW "Otto". :biggrin:

We already have an "Otto" who sometimes flies the airplane for me (he's the "otto-pilot"), so I couldn't use that. We refer to our cars as a function of what they are, so we talk about taking "the van" or "the BMW". My Model S was just baptized as "the carpet" a few days ago, in reference to Aladdin's magic carpet: silent, awe-inspiring, futuristic, magical... and it flies. :-D

What's Mycroft going to call his car now?

 

[Apoclyps]

I think I am going to name my Model S, "Stacy"....short for "ecstasy". Or is that lame?

Not lame at all!

alas, 3 years or more before I'll be able to buy a Gen3, but on the topic of names...

perhaps a bit out there, but anyone else think referring to Tesla's cars as digital cars makes sense?

i.e. Silicon Valley DNA of the car a different animal than original electric cars of 1900s. The instant and smooth torque seems digital in comparison to the clunky ICE's analogue like gear shifting acceleration. There's also the S's ability to be upgraded digitally. Finally there's the delight of the enhanced experience of an S people associate with smart phones/tablets rather than compromised experience people associate with term electric car, i.e. Leaf (no offense to any Leaf owners... I'm referring to mainstream perception).

How about Hans? aka Hans Ohm

Personally I like the maritime tradition of feminine names. I don't want my dad to get the idea that I named my car after him either.
Still trying out names but nothing stuck so far.

Joules, as in 360 Joules, the amount of energy used to restart your heart when it stops. My kids all want a ride in Joules whenever possible!
