IT'S STILL LEGALLY REGISTERED IN FLORIDA

Harvard University-affiliated astronomers announced the discovery of a new asteroid zooming precariously close to Earth — only to learn it was actually a Tesla sports car launched by Elon Musk as a publicity stunt seven years ago, scientists said Friday.

How big in hedgehogs is that? I'm surprised Musk didn't install a GPS transponder so his satellites could track it.

Techs are frantically trying to determine where it plans to self park.

Almost as impressive as launching a manned motorcycle across the Snake River Canyon

How long a cord is required to recharge?

Don't worry. The next self-driving software update will keep it from crashing back into earth and starting a mass extinction of people with way too much money and way too little sense to buy a real car.

So a person tasked with weeding out government inefficiency and waste likes to hurl expensive cars into space?

The dummy in the space suit (Not Elmo) that Elmo put inside the car must be pretty hungry by now!

That’s probably the safest place for a Tesla to be. At least it will catch on fire when it reenters the atmosphere instead of while on the road on earth.

I wonder how much the back registration will cost.
