Son: "Dad, can you tell me what a solar eclipse is?"

Dad: "No sun."

Last night at dinner conversation my son-in-law Collin is asking:

Collin: "What model Tesla are you getting?"

Me: "Y"

Collin: "Just curious, what model it is?"

Me: "Y"

Collin (getting slightly frustrated and I have no idea why): "Model S?"

Me: "No, Y"

at this point I see where the confusion is coming from. Collin was aware of model "S", but he was unfamiliar with the rest of the Tesla lineup.
