Truth is stranger than science fiction

Tesla's recent launch of the Powerwall just seems like total science fiction, doesn't it? I don't mean the thing itself, although that is worth the amount of social media attention it's getting, and it will be absolutely fascinating to follow, but I mean the aesthetics of the little performance.
The logo on the device. Elon Musk's weird name and his youth. His good looks and charisma, which verges on creepy. His penchant for pumping out offspring (my knowing that based on reading the Wikipedia article).
Tobias Revell tweeted that the Powerwalls look like a row of riot shields. So true!

(I'm getting old. Need to change this font size to Large. You're welcome.)
