    Tommy - Season 1 Episode 10
    Towards the end of the episode, Tommy meets her girlfriend in a parking lot to chat. They sit in the Model 3 to talk for a minute. No shot of the dash in the 3, but I was happy that they didn’t dub a gas engine starting or revving as the Model 3 drove away silently at the end of the scene. Totally unrealistic because she didn’t have to explain the goofy door handles on the outside or inside! :)

    Ah, you beat me to post about that. I've got a small TV so had to use the DVR to go through the scene very slowly to confirm it's a 3. :)

    They killed off Doctor Melendez, the character who drove a Model S on The Good Doctor.

    Quite possibly not. He was killed because of an injury he sustained in an earthquake.

    Looks like Drew, one of the Property Brothers on HGTV, owns a Tesla Model S, and the other one, Jonathan, owns a Model X

    As usual, twins need to do SOMETHING to differentiate themselves so they couldn't drive the same car. Not sure if this counts as this is a reality TV show not scripted fiction, but it's still TV

    Jonathan, the contractor, needs to get the Cybertruck when it becomes available. In addition to providing utility for his line of work, this will further differentiate him from his white collar twin. :)

    I don’t think it was mentioned, but Model X in Bad Boys for Life in the scene when Will Smith visits the Butcher guy.

    I do like that site for figuring out what weird car or bus that was, but for watching Teslas advance in Pop culture, this is the thread

    Thanks,
    I didn’t even know the show existed. Just watch the first two episodes - hysterical.

    So, one assumes that in the Space Force universe, someone grabbed Elons roadster and brought it back to earth orbit, but can't figure out how to get it back thru the atmosphere?
