Cerebro.

Although I don't name my cars, the above made me think that Magneto would be a good name for a BEV.

I was all set on KITT because I’ve always loved Knight Rider and planned on getting black. Now that I’ve changed to red I’m not sure.

Christine?

 

[JoeCoolMan24]

3 pages, and I am surprised I am the only one going with "Nikkie".

Nikola Tesla? Anyone? Bueller?

 

[JoeCoolMan24]

Was toying with "Nikola" or "Nickey".

Ah, close enough. This guy gets it.

Has anyone thought of naming their Model 3 "Serenity"? With Elon's "spaceship" comments, it seems a possible choice. I don't name my cars, or I might use that one.

This is on my list

Joules. I have custom plates waiting to be picked up at the DMV. Since "Joules" was taken, I decided on "Joul3s" which is pretty appropriate for Model 3 anyway.

Joules is also a contender - while I have to decide between custom plates or EV plates in my state (EV plates not customizable) another Tesla owner went with JOULERY (sounds like jewelry) for their plate. (WA, I think.)

I know some folks who named their dog Jewel. For the longest time I thought the dog's name was Joule. They never corrected me because they didn't realize I was saying Joule instead of Jewel. Very large, very friendly dog. The best kind. I don't remember the breed; something I'd never heard of before, but probably not pure.

One pitfall with personalized license plates is that if the meaning is not obvious, people will think it's your name.

No Fundamental Issues

My first one will be Cerise 2, the second Cerise 3.
I'm consistent at least.

 

[HG Wells]

Why HAL of course.

When pulling into the garage and opening the door I will say.

Open the pod bay.
Open the pod bay.
Open the pod bay doors, HAL!

 

[zyzeast]

C3PO of course.

We named our 3 Rocinante (from the Expanse). Others in the running were Weeping Somnambulist (also Expanse) or Serenity.

Interesting. I don't have a TV so never heard of The Expanse (had to Google it) but several hundred years before TV existed, Rocinante was the old, decrepit, broken-down horse belonging to Don Quixote in Cervantes' famous novel. In fact, in Spanish, a rocin is a used-up, broken-down horse, which is why Don Quixote's horse is named Rocinante.

I would name a broken-down old beater that was ready for the crusher Rocinante. I would not name a Tesla Rocinante. It's sad when modern pop culture turns the classics on their heads.

I am well aware of the Don Quixote reference - it is discussed in the novel series, not so much in the TV adaptation of Expanse. However, the spaceship Roci is not a broken-down old beater in any regard (at least initially - later in the series it's a bit the worse for wear) and I don't think my model 3 minds being named after a spaceship.
