Part 2 is an appeal to Elon to help with the preservation of the Tesla lab.

My favorite part has to be the correlation between level of happiness and the distance of combustion explosions from his crotch.

Love The Oatmeal and this did not disappoint. I hope Elon donates the $8 million - pocket change for him really.

OMG I can't stop laughing!!! Love the dragon+ferrari part!!

The Oatmeal has long been my favorite comic/blog site and I have read every entry there. I knew he liked Tesla and got Elon to donate to the museum, but I didn't know he had the car (or frankly that his blogging could fund a Model S)

All my friends are sending me this story right now its a good day.

I think it would be great if Tesla Motors donated the $8 million as a nod to the Tesla family.

Thanks for introducing me to The Oatmeal. I had never seen his work until now. Great stuff. It's funny but also a great learning experience.

Just saw this Oatmeal cartoon myself and was about to post. The guy seems to like his car!

He came at spoke at the Seattle store. Super nice person and even stuck around to do custom cartoons for people.

Super awesome comic...

Yup, received it from three friends so far... Great way to introduce those with questions to the car...

I knew there must have been a reason why I love the car so much...this must be it:

My dog the paradox is a favorite of mine. He wants an engine noise app. I make "whoosh" noises when I launch.

I've always assumed he would have to scrape to make ends meet, but I guess not. His friend also mentioned in the footnote has one, so I guess he's doing OK.

I gotta find a more fun way to make a living , like these guys.

He got the car last August I believe, based on his Google+ posts.

Really great that Tesla inspires people to do things such as this. Why pay for advertising when you can get this for free?

 

[tezco]

When can we see this on TV?

Flasher--thanks for the post!

My 28 year-old son sent this to me a few hours ago. I hardly stopped laughing the whole time. :biggrin:

I had contributed to the first fundraising effort for the Tesla lab property; probably will add some more for the museum effort.

Random non-EV friends sent this to me today. It has gone 'viral'...!

Now I see why Tesla doesn't advertise- there is no way any ad agency could have come up with anything even a tenth as brilliant as this!

The Oatmeal is great. His cartoon about Nikola Tesls is brilliant, Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived - The Oatmeal.

And if you didn't click to his 2nd page about Tesla Motors, you would have missed that he is calling on Elon to donate $8MM to make the a Tesla Museum happen.
