The Unexpected Car David Crosby Picked Over A Rolls-Royce – SlashGear

During the interview, Crosby, who was 75 years old at the time, revealed that while he had owned many “really great” vehicles throughout his life, his favorite at the time was his Tesla sedan. He praised the EV’s “drastically fast” speeds, noting that it “knocks everybody’s socks off” and that its high level of precision and accuracy forces the driver to operate with a similar level of competency. “You get into seeing how well you can drive it because it will handle anything you bring to the party,” Crosby was quoted as saying.

It’s not surprising that Crosby was a fan of the electric car — Tesla has earned its legion of diehard fans for a reason — but it was a stunning endorsement from the guitarist that he would pick the model over a Rolls-Royce. That’s not to say the Tesla was his only car late in life, though. During the same interview, Crosby said that he also owned an eclectic array of vehicles spanning from a 1940s’ model-year Ford V8 pickup truck to a biofuel-powered Ford Excursion, as well as a couple of BMWs. Crosby said that he had modified the Ford truck’s engine with a friend, noting that he had been on the prowl for a hot rod at the time when he stumbled across the pickup.
