One of my biggest complaints during 4+ years in a Model S was a pivotal plot point in tonight's "Curb Your Enthusiasm". You'll have to watch it, but Larry was driving Ted Danson's new red Model S, stopped behind a police cruiser, when the light changed. Somebody in the writer's room must own a Model S.

I agree -- although with my previous Audi it was even harder to give a subtle "reminder beep" than in my MS. anyhow a funny scene.

I never found our horn so pronounced, have you? I think what would have been funnier is if the the cars sitting in front of the MS were sitting at the green light because they didn’t realize a car pulled up behind them (since our cars are so quiet. Well, I’m not the comedy genius, so what do I know?!

I always wondered when Larry would drive the Model S. It made sense. Sheryl was also so environmentally conscious - so much so that she made Larry use recyclable toilet paper. Just watched the episode. Makes sense that Ted owns it - since she is dating him now. lol ha ha

Before this season, he drove a Prius. This season he's driving a BMW i3 EV.
He's too cheap and finds Tesla too flashy... plus there's the horn issue...

I was actually surprised he was even driving the BMW. Looks much too flashy for his character. The frugal self-centered narcissist. It makes sense Ted owns it - Sheryl made Larry spend big - all the house changes they went through. lol Selling b/c of the cable line in the backyard? Ha ha!Before this season, he drove a Prius. This season he's driving a BMW i3 EV.

Larry was impressed by Ted Danson's new Tesla (Season 9 Episode 3 at 5 1/2 minutes in)
But when Larry drove the car moments later it had transformed into a pre-facelift model
Those that watched the episode might agree that we deserve an explanation for this disturbance. Yes?

Of course we are here to help you with understanding. It was a minor disturbance, that's all, and we're dealing with it...

I think the horn thing is 100% accurate!! Not that it's so pronounced or loud, but that's it's nearly impossible to just get it to give a short "reminder beep".. the spring in it is very strong, so any press of the horn ends up being much longer than intended.. you really can't just give it one of those small, quick "tap" toots or a double tap toot.

I gave someone an "alert" honk today and they got pissed at me. Some truth to the episode!!! LOL

I lived in NYC for 7 years and the surrounding area for another 7, so using your horn is as common as blowing your nose but for some reason I almost feel guilty for using it in the Tesla. Almost like I am supposed to be more civilized now!!!
