Plaid Model S Excitement

If you have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I am an unabashed Tesla fan. My heart lies with the Model S, the only car that I have ever bought twice.

The recent Laguna Seca record-setting lap has me excited. One thing that stood to me was the e-stop stuck to the dash. I wonder what it does. Does it cut the main battery pack contactor? Wouldn't it be too late by the time it needs to be disengaged? Does it dump fire suppressant over the vehicle? Well, I might be too far out of the loop to ever know what function it performs but decided to re-create the look for fun.

The total cost was $15 for a pair of dubious e-stop switches and a couple of small squares of 3M VHB. I put on my longboarding attire and snapped a few photos with my new Canon R5. After a little futzing about in Adobe Lightroom, I ended up with this.

My blog has been a little light on projects lately. Work definitely keeps me busy. It is fun to head out and be creative every once in a while though. This was taken near The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. There is a Supercharger nearby.

I hope you enjoy my fun and congratulations to Sebastian Vittel on the impressive lap!
