Iron Man Tony Stark gets a Tesla before anyone else does. Must be nice!
So, what's a guy gotta do in order to get on the Tesla preferred customer list? How about becoming a crime-fighting-billionaire-industrialist-and-inventor? It seems as if that would be enough, according to the screen-grab from the Iron Man Super Bowl ad above. The man who is iron has got a Tesla, in addition to some other pricey and less environmentally-friendly exotics. Questions have arisen over at Autoblog as to whether the Tesla deserves a parking spot among the other exotic machinery in Stark's garage. Our response: whatever, dude! Any billionaire worth his money-clip will surely be adding a Tesla to his arsenal of four-wheeled ticket-generators. He likely has a Koenigs-whatever in there too... just pan the shot back out a little bit. But, we digress... we're looking forward to seeing how much screen time the Tesla gets in this box office hit-to-be.

This is Tony Stark, genius inventor. It's absolutely in character for him to own the Tesla.
He's not some snobby car guy who only respects something that burns a lot of fuel, makes a lot of noise, and compensates for something. He's all in for cutting edge technology.
Sometimes I can't stand reading Autoblog for all of the "oldschool" car guys there who snub anything like the Tesla.
