Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s Pink Batman Tesla Model S
Google co-founder Sergey Brin (net worth $23 billion) was spotted driving a Tesla (the world fastest electric vehicles) around LinkedIn headquarters on Thursday afternoon. Which would have been some what normal IF the Tesla Model S wasn’t pink, with Batman wings and eyelashes? seriously come on! nothing screams The Dark Knight more than pink and eyelashes! Some say this was a belated Aprils Fools joke on Brin’s part, considering he posted on his Google+ page saying: “Huh. I don’t remember Batman fins as an option when I configured my Tesla.” Supposedly representatives at Google are looking into the matter and could not immediately provide comment. Tesla Motors currently does not offer its Model S in pink according to its website.
