That old Tesla pulled me OUT of the Sci-Fi nature of the film. All that work creating the images of the future tech and then she drives HERSELF to the water? Today's beta FSD is Sci-Fi compared to that.

One of the reasons we Angelinos use valets is so we don't have to park on the street, and there may not be any spots close to a popular spot on the street. The valet is safer and offers peace of mind. The valets themselves present some small risk, but you at least have a chance to see and meet them face-to-face.

Quite a strange show, but I just watched the 7th and 8th episodes and there was a Model 3 parked in downtown and a Model S driven by the preacher in episode 8. *Spoilers*

Just seen a Tesla Model 3 in This Is Us season 5 episode 9 “The Ride”... in two scenes... they’d dubbed the scenes over with ICE engine sound!

In the Chinese TV series "You Are So Sweet", a classic Model S driven by the lead actor got a lot of screen time. Its first appearance is right at the beginning, and the car makes appearances in many of the episodes. Nice to see Tesla vehicles getting favorable exposure worldwide.

How unrealistic it is to have a lead character drive a Tesla and NOT spend much of their on screen dialog talking to anyone who will listen about how great it is to own a Tesla. Sheesh. everyone knows that!

Elon is mentioned at ~2:30.
I strongly suggest listening to the entire 4 mins of this video. It is absolutely hilarious.

speaking of college...
In Netflix's new documentary "Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal", Rick Singer the mastermind behind the scandal is shown a few times driving his black Model S (in scenes reenacted by actor Matthew Modine)

Silliest Tesla appearance yet was on this weeks Blacklist driven by a sex doll obsessed murder
Cornered by the police there was no way out, so he drove out of frame as we heard the sounds of a car going off a cliff, only, no one's gonna trash even this rental quality car as there are still too few on the planet and we never see a shot of a wreck or even know the guy and his doll died (which they wouldn't with Tesla's safety rating) other than a slight reference in the scene after. So dumb.

My partner is a fan of the show. That was one of several cringe worthy things in that episode. I also noted the tires squealed when he accelerated.

I am pretty sure EVERY scene with a Tesla includes the screeching wheels, and I often hear engine revving sounds, I don't think film editors can do it any other way. Like when Star Trek tried to paint a girl green for the original Pilot and the film developer kept changing the chemicals so the final print had her skin looking vaguely like normal skin because that's how they color balance film is to skin tone, they don't do it any other way.
Speaking of Star Trek...
Star Trek: Picard, S2 E5 ("Fly Me to the Moon") has a pre-refresh Model X with reasonable door handle alignment at about 14:52
Had tires screeching sound, but thankfully no engine noise.
