Do you see it? Rightly so, the focus is on the mask, the bandage on his nose and the fact that Nelson is getting his vaccine shot in this picture. But the symbol on his steering wheel stands out: Willie Nelson is driving a Tesla!
We did some research and found that this isn’t far off brand for Nelson. In fact, it’s arguably a perfect fit. In 2008, the country star’s drummer, Paul English, told Texas Monthly how the legend used to pull a trailer with his Mercedes Benz. Just a few years earlier, the New York Times noted that the exhaust from his Benz smelled like peanuts due to his use of biofuel. Tesla’s line of vehicles are all electric, meaning Nelson is keeping his commitment to clean driving in 2020.
Nelson, whose new Frank Sinatra tribute album drops on Feb. 26, isn’t the only country singer to drive a Tesla.
