I found myself driving behind a Tesla Model X

Today. First time I'd seen one. So, I googled it. Pretty cool, if way out of my price range. I also found this hilarious video review, which I highly recommend. Do watch it through to the end, where you will fall down laughing at the vision of this vehicle doing a strange dance. Trust me on this.

Was in Hawaii in September and went into the Tesla storefront. The car was awesome inside. I live in SF so I see them all the time. Want one so bad but no money to buy one!

Putting aside my personal dislike of Elon Musk and the problems with his business model, they're honestly pretty awesome cars. Ofc I could never afford one though.

Tesla had a showroom in Boulder, CO for several years. They must have thought Boulder was all green and hippy (and trustifarian) so it would make sense. That showroom closed down and I thought, "Well that's the end of Tesla". Now I see several every week around Denver.
