The Great Sprite75 2015 Road Trip went by the Twin Cities today so I went to the Tesla store in Eden Prairie.



I'm not really looking to buy anything new right now, especially a Tesla.  I just wanted to actually see one up close.  The sales rep answered all my questions and then offered to let me actually drive the car.  I got to take it for a spin around the area.  He got me on to an empty street and I found out just how fast those cars are.  0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds.

Wow: for an electric car, that is fast.

Just a word of warning: that car was designed by a South African, so be careful.  :wink:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I don't think Elon Musk needs my shorts: he can go buy his own.  :wink:

My sister said my brother in law was quite excited - here he thought I had bought a Tesla when he saw the photos of me behind the wheel of a Tesla.  Of course if I had he probably would have been up here right away wanting to see insane mode.
