Wow. Tesla stock is back up to 184 +.

Here's an S racing a Stingray:

So in back to back races, each one won.

 

And Patty is still smiling!

 

Yep, she is! Tesla is up again today in a down Market -- "The rich just keep getting richer".

 

From The Oatmeal. Warning, some NSFW language, but still spot-on, I think.

 

OMG! I absolutely LOVED that page. I admit that I see multiple Tesla Ss every single day. I am not exaggerating. On any weekend, a trip down toward the beach will yield at least a dozen, but typically closer to two dozen, sightings. Driving the ten minute commute to/from my office each way, a couple per day. They are very popular here. So to me they have become very ho-hum. I'm happy to report that the above comic made me smile, giggle, and even laugh out loud. It renewed my appreciation for the vehicle. Yes, it has its drawbacks, but it's still a phenomenal piece of work when you stop to think about it.

Because I'm in outer space, mother...!

 

Guess you and I are the only ones who share this sense of humor, Murph! Glad you got a chuckle out of the page. Quite a bunch of funny comics on his site.

FWIW, I tried to read it, Gene. I think it probably appeals to people who get excited by new computers or phones.

 

I had the rare privilege of driving Rick Hesel's Model S at Spring Fling and all I can say is "holy crap". It is amazing on the inside, a proper blend of luxury, bling, and nerdism. But the real thrill comes from the accelerator pedal. It is a screamer... torque, torque, and more torque. It's like driving a big block muscle car without the sound. Very cool car, just a little out of my price range at this time.

 

The Mercedes B-series electric comes out next month.
It has a the Tesla derived drive train in it although only a 28kWH battery instead of the bigger 85 kWH in the model S.
I'm curious to see how it behaves.
