    I named mine Persephone. She has a temper.

    Named mine Rosebud, I thought I already posted that, is this a NEW 'what did you name your car' thread?

    Actually it's: Nick Danger 3rd Eye

    I took delivery on 7/2. It took two years, 3 months and 2 days. Worth the wait for, yep, Niki.

    yeah, once I hit "Post", I realized that and couldn't edit it... (so many quotes, so little context...)

    Named after spaceship in Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth.

    Pretty much works the same way.
    Just touch the console and the ship takes you where you are thinking.

    Interesting list. That "Life, the Universe, and Everything" name makes me wonder if anyone has named their car "42"?

    I haven't named my car but I am tempted by some of the choices up thread.

    The "Defiant" (trek reference)
    Compact, stealthy, overpowered and occasionally buggy, still impressive for anyone who runs into it

    ****SPOILER ALERT****

    Renaming your car "42" will change the name to "Life, The Universe, and Everything" so you can't physically name your car "42"

    Does setting the name to "53" immediately change it to "Herbie"?

    Or is that too much dork and not enough nerd?

    My Model 3 makes 3 blue cars in my garage now; so I first thought "The Blue Angels". Then I thought "Charlie's Angels", so the Tesla is Farrah. But my friend said "Tess" and I said "of the d'Urbervilles"? So, it's still up in the air, but maybe Farrah.
