You are clearly missing out of one of the 21st century's greatest experiences.

Thanks for the idea, but I'll take a hard pass. Besides my "hot" days are long behind me.

If you open the guy's tweets, Tesla Service asking why he had it towed in is hilarious. My response would have been "you should see when you pull it into the shop".
