    He could always put on a wig and lipstick, and be the next Lizzy Carmichael. Oh wait, that didn't work out well either.

    Despite his genius, Nikola Tesla was ill-starred. Toward the end of his life, he talked for hours to a wild white pigeon on his New York City balcony, and only ate vegetable matter. I don't think that, knowing this, I would have named a car in his honor. Especially when the only other Yugoslavian automotive wonder the target audience has experience with, is the Yugo.

    If the company were instead named Motorhead they wouldn't have this problem.

    I'd say that Elon Musk:John Z. DeLorean would be a better comparison, given that both of them tried to build a sporty car with one major "car problem" solved from the factory, charged too much for it, and...


    ...well, Elon hasn't been busted in a bad coke deal yet. Never mind.
