What is the first thing you play on your radio?

What is this in the beginning of the Tesla video? I havn't seen this before!~

IIRC 3rd party artwork speculating on Bluestar/Gen III.

Props to tineye.com for reverse image search...
EYE concept coming to Geneva has Tesla Motors connection

Timbaland feat. magoo: "Clock Strikes"

Those following the Model S for awhile (or who have seen most videos of it online) will understand why...

Nobody picked "Hey Ya" which played in the first demo ride???

That will be my #2 after "Clock Strikes".

It's probably going to be something like Golden Earring with Radar Love or something from Queen

Radar Love is my first choice for every new car I buy. It will absolutely be on my play list.

perhaps music from the movie "Electric Dreams" (yes, I'm that old).

Ha! Awesome movie. My wife found a copy on DVD last year; we had not seen it for at least a decade. A great theme song, too.

The tracks I will be playing first:

Porcupine Tree / Chloroform (from the In Absentia DTS DVD, assuming the Model S will play DVDs). Have to test the bass delivery with this number.
Porcupine Tree / Stranger by the Minute (from the Stupid Dream DVD-Audio 5.1 disc).
The Gathering / Great Ocean Road. Would love to hear the didgeridoo.
Amorphis / Relief. This is among my favorite "driving" songs, fast-paced but plenty of time changes.
Oceanlab / Miracle. To don a sardonic pseudo-smug smile while laughing at the comical global warming lyrics.
Pure Reason Revolution / In Aurelia. Just because it's one of my favorites.
Tron Legacy soundtrack / End of Line. Seems like a no-brainer for an electric car to have some Tron soundtrack action.
Marconi Union / Buildings and People. Another great driving song.
Pendulum / The Island. To get my electronica/dance fix.
Theatre of Tragedy / Automatic Lover. Same reason as above.
Thievery Corporation / Satyam Shivam Sundaram or Khalghi Stomp.
Khaled / Alech Taadi. Fifth Element? Yes, please.

How about Get Over It by the Eagles or Dream On by Aerosmith? I crank one of those when they say the car is too quiet at the track.

Don't play it to often, but in the right mood and driving conditions it is the best drivers song imho.

Switch On (feat. Ryan Tedder) off of Oakenfold's album A Lively Mind

 

[cinergi]

Well, i will defiantly listen to TRANCE. Specifically A State Of Trance, Armin Van Buuren. It's amazing. Can't get enough of it. :smile:

*thumbs up* excellent! :smile:

With "just" two acoustic guitars, this is more on the"fast" side:

Paco De Lucia & Al Di Meola The Reunion "Mediterranean Sundance"


Enjoying the following one requires either a *lot* of patience, or the state of mind where you don't "need" music and might otherwise turn the sound system off. It is very slow, and more than an hour long. It is from one of the pioneers of electronic music, and perhaps only those who are already familiar with electronic music will have a sense for it...

Klaus Schulze - The Theme : The Rhodes Elegy


This is a much more fast paced piece (relatively speaking) from Klaus Schulze... two and a half hours long. And more electronic "features"...

Klaus Schulze - Picasso geht spazieren (Studio 1992)

Anyone know where the background music from this video comes from? It's stuck in my head.

Tesla Model S and Roadster Drive Together on Vimeo

How about "another one bites the dust" by Queen - would certainly be appropriate for anyone with a performance model...

This appears to be original, made for Tesla for this video!

@Norbert: You reminded me of another good First Song. Diablo Rojo (Red Devil), by Rodrigo y Gabriela. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lvMQCmUVv8. "A tribute to a roller coaster". Particularly suitable for Signature Red, which, alas, I won't be getting.
