Not quite according to plan, but I get to drive a Tesla. Well, backseat drive a ...
... Tesla from the back of a taxi. The messed up booking system had me land at one Stockholm airport and depart from another. Like... Wtf?! It is a 40 km drive and I have time fortunately to get there before the flight.
Lucky I noticed between eating my chicken Caesar salad and handing out @abh12345's phone number to Swedish women.
I should have checked the tickets more thoroughly o guess but, who flies like that? There are flights going from the airport I landed around the same time of departure too? It gave me one option.
Bastards.
Anyways, the taxi driver has decided I am in a rush and seems to have put Insane Mode on the car and floored it. Perhaps I should get him to drive me the 500 kilometers north.

I've taken my phone out of airplane mode, but nothing doing as yet...
The bastard probably left one number off just for fun...🤣

Evil!
Praying for a dyslexic Swede...
Well, if you believe some people all you have to do is put it out to the universe and everything simply comes to pass...
My suggestion is to get your ass to Sweden and get amongst it...Don't rely on Taraz's marketing strategy. 😂

I use The Secret to get what I want. I was at the wrong airport.
The Secret 🤣 Yeah, that's what it's called. I use the Secret on Sunday nights...I put my bins out to the universe (kerb) and they miraculously get emptied...It happens every week. Ask and thou shall receive.

Don't listen to him, Asher. Probably using your picture in his own interest :P
I am using speech to text. Hands busy.
...with Swedes? :))
Why does he have the picture in the first place...Now that's the question I'd like to ask! 🤪

Hmm he carries pictures of all his favorite Steemians in his wallet? :D
You'll be in there for sure!

I wouldn't be surprised if he shows pictures of us all to random Swedes and then starts shilling Steem :))
A good scam...Interpol will catch up with him at some stage though.

But that could work to our advantage. The story would make the news. Bam, Steem goes global and rises to 100$ :))
Where in the world is Taraz San Diego...
Compliments will get you auto-votes!
Struggling to work out how he's going to angle it for his own best interests, but I'm not caring to much about that :D
Score!
Well, he hits them up, shows them the picture and then tells them it could be worse :P Shit, I think I just lost my auto-votes, didn't I? :))
Lol. Perhaps I should stop showing them pictures of you too?
Cheeky fucker! (probably)
Stop complaining you are over 40 and can't be that fussy. The problem is the women can be though.
AT 40 - I think there is a difference :D
I take it you are close but not quite there yet then? Don't say that as I am over 50 now.
You don't look a day under it.
Thank god for a personality and a sense of humor to get past the looks. If i was back on the market maybe a makeover would be in order lol.
Nah, I only handed the picture to the first couple and realised a change of strategy was needed.
Just wait til I drive past in that red Tesla.
How was it driving from the back of Tesla? What do you think is different from other cars? is the seat more comfortable?
Compared to my Honda it is pretty quiet, only a bit of road noise. I have driven one of my client's before and they are very, very fast off the line.
Interesting! now I understand the hype behind tesla, although it's still rare to see that car cruising around Indonesian's street.
It is common in Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark) as they are pushing hard for all electric.
What model? My buddy has the model 3. And it can FLY! Its like riding a rollar coaster downhill, but the 3 can do that feeling even UP hill

It was an S. Pretty fast for a family car :)
The S is amazing. Very cool

That happened to me years ago on a layover at London! Luckily, I knew about it and was able to plan adequately in between but was still a headache! I remember the taxi driver looking at me like I was dumb...
Haha, yes. Ridiculous looks from people but then, such is life.
I went in a taxi once...Wasn't a Tesla. Just saying.

Just glad that I am not the one that has to cover the cost of them
We have Camry's for taxi's...The poor man's Tesla. Well, not even really.

The Tesla isn't quite finished from an interior quality but, meh. Fast.
You always hear flying is safer than driving. I wonder with cars like Tesla if that's still the case. I know there not perfect, but with all the new technology coming out in automobiles like Tesla if we will ever get to the point its cheaper/safer to take a Tesla 500 km.
I think it would be cheaper now (not in a taxi though) but not sure about safer as there is a big difference between driving and flying supposedly.
I was thinking more along the lines as more and more self-driving cars are released. I wonder if that breakthrough will make automobile travel safer then flying.
That is crappy. I suppose is it the same for the way back as well? I remember being able to switch in time when something similar happened. It doesn't work if there are no other flights though.
At least there was a driver and it wasn't the driver less cab yet.
I have no idea about the way back... I should check that :)
Yep... Same on the way back. I will see if I can change the flights tonight.
Hope you made it in time! How was the driving experience?
Wasn't too bad at all other than having to sit in the back. I am not a good passenger :D
Next time you will be in the driver seat 😎
Here's to hoping. :)
