I'm going to a Drive Electric Event this afternoon. We'll see how invisible the car is there.
There are 3 other Teslas signed up.

Based on my experience last weekend I'd say you could bring a Tesla with a cloaking device and you'd still have a bunch of people ogling it.

...or get rid of your CO generator. I don't have a CO detector in my garage. I have nothing that burns carbon based fuels in my garage. Now, in my house, with natgas heaters, of course.
You seem to be intimating that a CO detector, possibly in the house, could detect CO build up in the garage, but I would tend to doubt that unless your HVAC unit pulls air from your garage. Not where I live.

There was some interest, my S was the only refresh there and my car was positioned closest to the parking lot, so it was the first one the visitors saw.. The one Model X was the star of the show though.
A reporter for the Columbian (local paper) was taking pictures of my frunk, I had a miniature V-8 in there. I wonder if he'll use the picture.
I didn't talk to them, but there were three Nissan Leafs from the local Nissan dealership with sales people. Someone told me they didn't have a clue about electric cars. They thought the inverter was the motor and had no clue how many KWh the batteries had.

Same's true of the Teslas, just the Tesla sales people don't work for Tesla

Went through a RIDE checkpoint. I was the only car when I got there. Look at my backup camera and there's a whole slew of cars trying to drive through. My cop however said he had never seen a Model X before and wanted to know about my range, autopilot and how much I paid
Our first Tesla moment. Pulled into Starbucks drive in window in our two day old MS. Wife, "What's that noise?". Me, "The engine of the car behind us." Wife, "NO way!". Then the sound of silence as we drove away from thee noisy ice machine. Ah........
Unless your garage is detached or is in a hermetically sealed bubble, there is a decent amount of air leakage from the garage back into the house, so a CO detector in the house should detect CO from a running car in the garage (and not all garages have exhaust fans, which would mitigate this). The CO levels in the garage will be dangerously high by the time the CO in your house goes off, but it's better than the other consequences.

Like I said. Get rid of the CO generator. I don't have to worry about forgetting to remember to turn off the gas car. I sold it.
Second Tesla moment in 3 days. Driving past cars lined up to buy gas, and feeling very happy to be de-iced in our new MS. Overnight, we have developed gas lines and stations out of gas due to a pipeline problem in Alabama. Feels like 1973 all over again. Only better this time.
First Tesla moment happend a couple weeks ago. I picked up a friend for lunch, and when I dropped him back off at work, there were a couple of his colleagues outside that wanted to see the car. Next thing I know the whole office empties out and starts asking me questions about the car. It was a pretty cool experience and I had fun playing Tesla evangelist.

Just had a fun one without even being in the car. Our dishwasher was acting up so I had a tech out today to see what's what - we got talking about how wonderful technology is until it fails. I said "And driving the most technologically advanced car out there today, I am glad it doesn't fail often" and he said "Ohhhhhh... do you have a Tesla?". 15 minutes later, we finally shut up about the amazing cars and I paid the bill and he left.

n00b mistake. You never tell them about the Tesla before they present you with the bill!Just had a fun one without even being in the car.
