How the heck did that guy get Elon on his show??

Edit: I wonder if Elon actually gave him a Tesla? lol.

Elon has a pretty good sense of humor, he laughs easily, likes Monty Python, sends cheese to space etc.
I doubt he gave away aTesla

I'm planning on heading to Vandenburg for the launch once the next launch date is announced. Any great viewing areas there for launches?

How about a non-functional car key for the Tesla model S.

There is a bunch of posts on viewing locations here although they are for SLC-3. Some think that Renwick Ave is the best place off the base for that, but it may be different for SpaceX at SLC-4.

Unsubstantiated. There hasn't been any junk left in the trunk for a while.
