Red face Picture of "our" Tesla Roadster? (Correction - not "ours" ... it's "his"!)

My brother snapped this picture at a traffic light in Ottawa last week of our Tesla Roadster.

(EDIT: Jul 26 - nope, it's not the government Roadster. See correction in posts #6, 7)



I say "ours" because it's owned by the Canadian government (Transport Canada) - had gov't plates. For evaluation / research purposes. Riiiiiiight.

2010 Tesla Roadster - Transport Canada

So 1/34,409,066th is mine! Mine, mine, mine!

My brother says he observed the driver & passenger "evaluating" the car's ridiculous acceleration capabilities several times.

When do I get my turn!!? I only want to do my duty for Queen & country.
