Had a moment at, of all places, a muffler shop! Felt out of place getting some exhaust pipe for my diesel tractor with the NOEXHST plate!

Re-posting this here upon request...
Had a fun time tonight and thought I’d share,
Was taking an engineer friend for a test ride today. He was sitting in the back seat behind me. After we’d shown him some of the standard things, the display, doing some quick launches, heating his seat, etc., but not really selling the car too hard, he decides to play smartass. From the peanut gallery I hear “So, what else can this thing do?” and then without pausing to allow anyone to answer he blurts out “Computer, Play Ministry”.
Due to my serendipitous choice of response <demo the voice commands>, I had pressed the right steering wheel button after his question, so the computer was listening right at “Play Ministry”, accurately parsed it out and fired up a Ministry song. It was brilliant - and not at all the result he was expecting.
“Well then.”
<grin>
I gotta ask, why were you even there in the first place? The coffee?Had a moment at, of all places, a muffler shop! Felt out of place getting some exhaust pipe for my diesel tractor with the NOEXHST plate!View attachment 313425
Still waiting for my family's M3 but my parents got theirs at the end of January (3018).
That sounds like a survey somehow triggered off vehicle registrations, which some States/counties make vehicle registrations data available (sell it?). It might have been swept up in a targeting of all new vehicles, thus the questions that don't fit?I find people don’t recognize the M3 anywhere near as often as they recognize the MS (I have a 2013 P85). Have had very few Tesla moments - 2 weeks ago got a thumbs-up from a Kia Soul on the Baltimore beltway.
Every test-driver loves it, of course, but they’re people who know me already.
But there is one unexpected Tesla M3 moment that keeps on giving. I just received my FOURTH “we are doing research... survey ... for your new car” - somebody’s taking the competitive threat seriously (I hope). But they hired idiots for the survey - how am I supposed to answer these questions?
- are you (extremely unlikely.... extremely likely) to recommend the dealership?
- how smooth is the transition?
- engine noise?
- and then mpg - and only TWO digits, I can’t even plug in MPGe
They just. Don’t. Get it....
Anyone else notice this?
