What name did you give your new Model Y?

[Wigan]

I helped a Black Vulture to maturity this year and called him Buzz (for Buzzard) and decided Buzz is a perfect name for an electric car too, and to remember him!

If it weren't for that I'd have probably named it Casper since it's white on white.

I might go with Tabitha. This will be my first car that I gave her a name. I was going to go with a male name but my husband seemed a little insecure over that especially since I've been talking nonstop about our Tesla since I ordered it in July.

Haven’t taken delivery of the MY yet, but it’s gonna be Joulee.

M3 is named Volta.

I dubbed mine the LR-21 Gyrfalcon, a slight nod to aircraft models of the past and standing for Long Range 2021 and a badass bird which happens to be similar in color to my White/Black Y.

For those who have already taken delivery, what name did you give the car? There is an option to give a name to your Tesla. I named mine "Starship" as I'm a big fan of SpaceX's Starship program.. What about all of you new Tesla owners?

I named "Shooting Star" ... you will realize why by my nickname on this forum.

I’ve got mine! Eagle 5, after the Winnebago in Space Balls.

Blue Mamba, a nod to the greatest of all time

But Jerry West is the GOAT and is The Logo not Black Mamba. I kid, great name.

Our dogs have all been named after alcohol, so we sent a message to the family that we had a new addition named Agave… followed shortly by a pic of our blue Y.

There's an innovative cancer treatment called CAR T cells where we collect a patient's specific white blood cells, re-engineer them, and return them back to the patient to attack their cancer in layman's term.

I named my MYLR "T Cell." (Sounds badass, T for Tesla, it's white like white blood cells, and it's a car as in "CAR T cells.")

Makes me think of Resident Evil…

Mine is deep blue metallic. I’m thinking TARDIS. It’s Doctor Who’s time ship that is disguised as a blue police call box. Like the TARDIS, the Model Y is “bigger on the inside”.

White on black. I call it cotton ball.

I'm not very good at this. I named my Austrian-built MINI "Otto" and am considering naming my pending white MYLR "Evee".

Fortunately, it appears I have a few months to try to think of something better.

Not too long after this post, I started considering "Shiro" (based on the Japanese word for "white"). May go with that but at the moment I'm leaning towards "Serenity" (Firefly reference). I kinda like the idea of a spacecraft-inspired name and it's a little off the beaten path of spacecraft references.

Still have a few weeks left to figure it out...

"Volksla", because it evokes the vibe of a hippy VW minibus from the 1960s. Secondly, MYs are so ubiquitous in L.A. it's become the de facto "people's car".
