Hope you had a lovely Easter. I recall, this time last year – at the start of Lockdown, in April – it was HOT! Well, let me re-phrase… the weather was absolutely lovely, and we were in gardens enjoying the suns rays. This year… we’re not quite at those temperatures but to get you warmed up for the week ahead… here’s my Top Two stories of the week!
- First up – it’s been a bit of a sad week. Not tech or innovation related – but nevertheless, would like to share my condolences to the families of DMX, HRH Prince Philip, Nikki Grahame, and others who passed away this week. It’s though when loved ones pass away – thoughts and prayers for anyone who’s going through tough times at the moment.
- Moving to tech… and to share something that came in my newsfeed recently was Tesla – and their naming convention for cars.
Now, you may be aware, there’s the Model S, 3, X and Y. For those eagle eyed amongst us – you’ll see it could (kind of) spell SEXY. Now, the reason why Tesla didn’t release the Model 3 as Model E is because Ford own the copyright for that name and wouldn’t release it.
Anyway… so we have SEXY.. but what next? Well… sources inform us that Tesla in China are working on a Model 2.. which could also be built in the Berlin Factory. It’d be similar to a BMW 2 series, Audi A2, etc… so the 2, as a name, works. People will know.
After the 2… there’ll be a Tesla 4. Again, slightly bigger than the 3…
So we have the naming convention of 2, 3, 4…. and my shirt.
That’s correct. Tesla – rumoured – to have an idea, to build a car called, ‘my shirt’.
Bal… are you pulling our leg?
Not at all. Tesla honestly wanted a line up called SEXY, it’s just unfortunately the E wasn’t available and went for 3, so it’s S3XY.
And coming up… we have 2, 4 and my shirt. Why?
This is a requirement because then the lineup can be:Â 2 S-3-X-Y 4 My Shirt.
And with that…. I’ll leave you with the classic. (Have a great weekend!)
