Real Musk fanboys travel to their funeral in a Tesla hearse
A hearse for the real ride-and-die Tesla fan
Why not branch out from Tesla to other Elon Musk industries?
For true Elon Musk fans, you can take your dedication beyond the world. A few years back, memorial spaceflight startupElysium Spacecould get you a ride (well, your ashes) on a SpaceX rocket for a mere $2,490 per person.
So,the average funeralcosts around $8,000. But, thecost of cremationis less than $3,000 making it combined with a space flight practically a bargain — definitely, one way to go out with a bang.
And, if we take a leaf from Elon’s other business interests, why not getNeuralinkinvolved? Imagine a future where your cloud-based brain powers Tesla auto functions autonomously?
Or your voice powers the voice feedback in the infotainment system? Or, your brain waves uploaded and now controlling a Tesla hearse autonomously as it takes you to your very own funeral? That’d be very cool.
Then, take a look at Tesla fan, Jeremy Judkins. He wants to be “put into a Gigapress and stamped into a Tesla” or, at a minimum, “stamped into the charge port area/trunk. Really, if you look at it like that, the options are limitless …
On a budget? Don’t worry, there’s always the option to turn your ashes into avinyl recordthat plays your song of choice. Surely, it would have to be TheElon Musk song?
