Your Cars Name?

Clarkson?

I collect mine in a few days and I’m going with “Dreadnought”. Battleship grey and a marked improvement on previous generations of cars analogous to its namesake.

But in the Great War dreadnoughts were useless pieces of obsolescent iron and machinery that soaked up resources and contributed little to the war effort. Not a good analogy with Tesla.

Good research @Fred42. The explanation uncovers the less than accurate or usefulness of using the word for a description of machine we are proud and has so much practical functionality.

The board difference between dreadnought and what it was meant to be used for reminds me how so many people these days say "that sucks" and don't know where that meaning came from - else they might not use it so regularly.

I haven’t quite decided yet, but as my blue M3P doesn’t arrive till December, I’ve got some time.

Current leaders are:

Benny’s Spaceship
Blue Thunder

[MrBadger]

Anyone tried 42 ?

 

[15Peter20]

I am toying with ‘Strawberry girl’ or ‘banana split lady’.

Both of which, for those not of a certain age to remember Siouxsie and the Banshees, lead back to the name ‘Christine’, ie the autonomous, evil car of the. Stephen King novel.

Go back to the Tesla store and fix the mistake. Take the kid.
