“Tesla’s Cars Talk!”

Thank you, Mr. Richards, for buying me,

We’re going to have fun; you wait and see.

See I’m one of these new fancy Tesla talking cars,

The newest, of the big, expensive Roadster movie stars.

I talk, a lot, and it could cost you loads of money,

I hope you have a lot, and insurance, isn’t that just funny?

Why? Because you need to charge me up, so I can run,

Without a charged battery, you won’t have any fun!

In my trunk is big, I hope you have a jack and a good spare,

For my tires, as running over glass or nails, I sometimes will need repair.

You also need to fill me up with oil, wiper fluid, water, and air,

I need those liquids for my proper, preventive nursing care.

Oh, for heaven’s sake, quit complaining, you bought me,

I’m just a car, Your car,

The splendid, beautiful, money eating expensive, talking star.

I’m sleek, I’m smart, I’m Elon’s dream come true.

Now, I am also yours, too.

I’m not just a car—I’m a rocket on wheels!

Charge me up, get in and I’ll show you how speed feels.

He’s revving me up, hear roar,

Foot on the pedal down to the metal…

Here we go…

Ta, ta now, it’s time to blow!!!

Sooo long now, I’m your caaaar,

The big expensive movie staaaaaaar!
