(Metro Goldwyn Mayer) tweets (dated) Dana Brunetti @DanaBrunetti Fun fact that I discovered on my @TeslaMotors Model S this weekend: the radio and fan both go to 11... @elonmusk a Spinal Tap fan? Elon Musk @elonmusk @DanaBrunetti Well, you see, by making it go to 11, that makes it louder than loud :) 1:29 PM - 14 May 2013 ] Jamie Lee Curtis has signed on for lots of comedy and wild twists in Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens (Fox, Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET/PT), but she has her own funny, kind-of-crazy story about picking up a Tesla with her husband, actor-director Christopher Guest. When she and Guest, famed for such films as This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman, arrived at the Tesla dealer, a representative from the high-end, electric-car manufacturer was there to show them all the functions of the vehicle Curtis was buying ... “The guy was taking us through the controls of the car. And, at one point, he said, ‘Turn up the volume control.’ ” She turned it up but “he said, ‘No, no, no. Make it go louder.’ So, I went up and – it goes to 11,” she said, echoing Nigel Tufnel, the Spinal Tap guitarist played by Guest in the 1984 film. In the movie, Nigel shows off amplifier knobs that go to 11 to rockumentary filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner), who notes that most amps go to 10. “Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it?” an utterly logical Nigel says. “Why don’t you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number and make that a little louder?” An utterly blinkered Nigel can only reply, “These go to 11.” The Tesla volume revelation stopped Curtis cold. “I said to the guy, ‘The volume control goes to 11?’ He said, ‘Yes. (CEO Elon) Musk is a fan of a certain movie,’ ” she remembers. “So, Chris is sitting in the car and the guy doesn’t know it’s Chris. And I looked over to Chris and I was like, ‘Really? That’s crazy.’ ” Tesla confirms that the sound system in its Model S goes to 11 and Musk acknowledged the connection to the cult film classic in a 2013 tweet [above]. Guest presumable was impressed, at least by the vehicle, because he ordered his own Tesla. Wonder how Stonehenge and Hell Hole sound cranked up to 11 in that car?
