Tesla Model S with Tesla Coils

Thought about making some goofy thread title, but figured it might get modded anyway so I went for the ultra descriptive one.

Enjoy! Photos - Google+

I just figured out what Elon meant in his Tweet about faster than gas fillup!

How about a night time pic with the coils ON?

You first! I don't want to be the one to test the conductive properties and insulation of a Model S.

No thanks. Frying a cell phone is one thing. Frying an EV is a bit more difficult to forgive.
Tesla Coil Safety

If I were to do it, I'd probably have a few grounded antennas 10 feet from the coil, and the car about 60 feet from the coil. Put the coil directly in line with the car, and shoot with a low aperture.

I wonder if one should ground the body of the car, too.
