    Elon Musk & Tesla D Appear In South Park "Handicar" Episode - Video

    Considering how brutal they can be regarding real life people in the show, such as with Tom Cruise, or even the Prius, they seemed somewhat fairly light-handed with Elon Musk and Tesla.

    At least Musk in real life didn't seem too offended by it, and even tweeted about it after watching it.

    Between that and the recent Price is Right show giving away a Tesla, I take it another sign that EVs are reaching the late adopter stage and pushing towards the general market in the next few years.

    The lead (mega rich-Southampton type) character on "Revenge" drives a Tesla now.
    When a cop asked her where's the plug?.. she replied "it's a secret".

    That was fun to watch! Thanks for mentioning.

    While searching for that I noticed there was also an earlier show from 2010 that featured a Tesla Roadster:
