Blogger Robert Scoble responded to John Leguizamo with a piece of Tesla lore: he got the first ride in the first production Tesla, and the only person who showed up that night was Elon Musk himself. He later shared a photo from the 2008 evening and a blog post about the Santa Monica street race where the Tesla 'smoked the Vette'.
