Teslas in Movies & TV

[CuriousG]

I strongly prefer the Battle of the AIs story line to the fool of week episodic show.

The whole AI storyline defeats the purpose of the title of the show. Much like how Burn Notice fizzled after they went away from that formula.

It's been a bit uneven this season, but I think over all it's a good series. Plus Shaw is a sexy bad ass

Title isn't the purpose of the show.

It is the beginning of the Arc.

If they ended the show with five seasons of nothing but fool of week shows it would be all sound and fury signifying nothing.

Never watched Burn Notice.

The new Top Gear did a very positive review of the Model X. They basically said that it was the car of the future.

A video from 2010 with the Top Gear reviewer of the Model X talking about EVs

I think he gets it now, it only took him 6 years

On American Gothic, 1st episode, there is a red Model S visible when the parents first open the door to let in their kids at the family gathering. It's about 5 minutes in.

"Jay Leno's Garage" aired on 6/22/16 episode 10. Among other things LAPD police cars past and present. The Chief shows up in a P85D Black and White.

Is this the first appearance of a Tesla in a video game?

I happen to be a fan of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and play it when I have a little time to waste doing virtual road trips. In a week or so, the company that makes it will be introducing American Truck Simulator. It's sort of like the Model X of the video simulator game world. Something that's been talked about, teased and shown for the last year or two, but is finally now being introduced. This video is the first review of the finished product, and I was pleased to see that they have included a Tesla Model S (@ 0:23 seconds into the video) as one of the AI cars the player will see on the road and have to deal with in tr[/

I've seen/played one of the truck simulators and I delivered what appeared to be a load of Teslas. seems it was in the southwest US so not Euro truck.

In a blink and you'll miss it appearance, a Model S interior is shown at 1:26 in the following demo reel for The Mill Blackbird rig, a 'car' that can be used to film car scenes, where only a specialized chassis is present, and the actual car is added via CGI after the fact. It actually looks quite amazing.

Just watched the latest ep of Silicon Valley and saw this:

Was the episode of Cooper Barret's Guide To Surving LIfe from a few weeks ago mentioned? The lead female character received a "self driving car" from her sugar daddy which was clearly a Tesla in the scenes she was driving it.

And the movie The Brothers Grimsby. They drive the Tesla with bulletproof windows off of a Bridge and crash it into a river.

I also saw tonight's Silicon Valley episode.

I never said that it was Euro Truck Sim. It was in American Truck Simulator. I wrote that shortly before ATS was introduced and later posted a picture of a trailer full of Model S's on ATS after it was introduced.

I misread thread,apparently, and never saw the posted picture. At least I was not dreaming it. Thanks for clarification.

I don't know - those wheels look a little WHOMPY.

Not exactly a "Tesla" but last night I was watching "Transcendence" and was surprised to see a quick shot of Elon in the audience for a few seconds

 

[Model S M.D.]

Will be on the lookout for a Model S on the new season of Mr. Robot, starting tonight! Seems like a logical "computer" to hack, like the Model S in Person of Interest that "the machine" commandeered..
