Howdy!

So Tesla-man is now also Twitter man - didn't really see that coming. 

But Tesla stock is now down - apparently

due to Twitter-related fears

.  Interestingly Tesla stock had a

big jump just last week on a record sales quarter

.

Whatever comes next... Elon is still an impressive dude. 

The good news is that the rest of us mere mortals do not have to worry about running an EV company, making rocket ships, and guiding Twitter's future.

And that gives us lots of time to hit all sorts of cool car events throughout SoCal. :0)

It's all linked below - enjoy!

Keep driving,
