“A Fine Disregard for Inconvenient Facts” with a hat-tip to Iain M Banks it does fit well with Tesla and ElonBluedicrous
Telstar
Telstar is very meaningful for me as a symbol of the future. I am just old enough to remember the first live transatlantic TV broadcasts. As a young boy I sat staring at some blurry black and white images from America and hearing that this was possible because this amazing sci-fi device had been sent into space on a rocket and was now orbiting the earth bouncing TV signals! After that I had to believe anything was possible. Some adults told us that these foolish Americans were now wasting their time and money trying to send men to the moon ... some hope, they said. The Tesla represents that technical optimism, a readiness to make the future happen!
Inspired by the satellite a sci-fi instrumental music track by The Tornados called Telstar got to the top of the charts. I can now drive along in my Tesla Telstar listening to the Tornados!
.... And the other thing is, when I try to type quickly I often mess up the letters in Tesla so I'm halfway to Telstar already!
I used to work in a building called Telstar House, opposite Paddington Station in London. Guess when it was built?
My choice is Joshua. Cool reference.Can’t decide between Evie (EV obviously) and Joshua (Global Thermonuclear War)
So my little Tesla is called The Falcon, after said super fast ship in Star Wars, since it can do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs
My beloved 2015 Model S P90DL -- "Tessie" -- has been sold. Next car will be a new MS Raven Performance. Am thinking about "Tessie II" or "Raven."
Point taken. I'll name it "Car." Thanks for the suggestion.Obviously put a lot of thought into that -lol !
You could have gone with 'car' or 'I can't believe it's not plaid'
@MichaelP90DL, Michael, will you changing your TMC handle since you sold your namesake?Point taken. I'll name it "Car." Thanks for the suggestion.
