   Nice to see a director of Tesla Motors track down some of the history behind the company namesake.

   yes… I think I know what it would look like… And he’d add a nice Art Deco nod to the Empire State Building that replaced his beloved Waldorf-Astoria.

   The interior would be spartan though, with a few elegant commercial products and an voluminous bespoke services menu…

   Wasn’t Tesla actually Serbian?

   Absolutely. At the time of the plaque (1977), Serbia was part of Yugoslavia. Here is a wikipedia map showing the subsequent breakup of Yugoslavia into Serbia and other countries.

    It is almost November. The Movember might get the moustache idea from his iconic look.

    Thanks for posting the plaque. It’s nice to see true inspirational humans recognized (versus what some call "heroes" now days).
