Some people have rather shallow standards, probably would not talk to me about my Citicars if I were at an event in a dress I had made instead of something they had seen in a fashion magazine. If I added a few pounds of gold and diamonds to my attire the snobs would love my cars. Just a thought from Las Vegas where ostentation rules. Tesla is the designer car brand of the day.
