My week with the Tesla

It's been a really good week.  It didn't start out that way unfortunately.  Turns out you can't ride a car without registering it.  And it's really hard to register a car that no one has ever heard of.  And it's really hard to tell them about it when there are no dealers in the state of Colorado.  And without dealers, I couldn't get dealer plates either.  And without dealer plates, registration, or something, anything, that tells them what the hell I'm driving, it's sort of hard to get insurance.

So I spent last week-end (ten day ago) staring at my beautiful new baby in the garage.  I couldn't take it out for a spin... much...  ;) 

But thankfully on Thursday we got it all covered. 

I never thought the image of temporary plates would be that beautiful.

So I brought it straight into work from the DMV for a looksee by the folks at Me.dium.  Turns out it's a pretty popular car.  :)

Aren't we supposed to be working? 

Brad just happened to be around for a drive-by swooning.

Did I mention that I love my Tesla?

On Thursday evening I took it for a drive with one of my best friends from South Africa.  We cruised up the mountains behind Boulder and had a blast.  That car is fast.  I mean really fast.

Congrats to the team at Tesla.  They deserve all the kudos I can muster.  It's a beautiful car, that rides beautifully, and uses no gasoline at all.  Damn, that is just fine.
