[Tigers] Retrospective on Alternative History by Larry Wright and Steve Laifman

[Jay]

2022: Tesla filed an 8-K today to give notice of Tesla’s executing agreements to purchase Rootes and Sunbeam Appliances.  Tesla’s press release announced that it was only appropriate to recognize its cars are mere electronic appliances.  The board further announced that Elon Musk was finally being removed from all duties after the uproar caused by Elon’s tweets about Plaid mode and Spaceballs, the movie it came from, now that all gender identifying references have been outlawed. An appeal from the Scottish Travel Ministry was unsuccessful, not withstanding their valid point that in Scotland, plaid tends to be worn by men in skirts.  The board is considering naming the performance mode as “Tiger mode” in honor of the Rootes Sunbeam Tiger.  However, the SPCA has become a minority shareholder in Tesla for the sole purpose of preventing the company from maligning the animal’s name with “prior owners of Sunbeam Tigers who are believed to have had more testosterone than currently allowed by law in the US.”

Larry was clearly in a creative mood and sent five emails about alternative history, then my dad provided a few of his own.  I hope you enjoy this - and add some new ones!!!!

Expanded manufacturing facilities, and signifiant hiring there, promises to bolster the local economy to the point that unrest in that country might be on the wane. The most recent announcement is an Iranian Delivery Program, where buyers can take delivery of their cars at the factory and then be led on a tour of historic sites.
