President Donald Trump visited the White House driveway on Tuesday to shop for a Tesla, ultimately choosing a shiny red Model S. Expressing enthusiasm, he remarked, “That’s beautiful,” while Elon Musk joined him, joking about the excitement it would cause the Secret Service.
Trump announced plans to buy the car, priced around $80,000, intending to leave it for his staff to use.
He expressed hope that his purchase would help support Tesla amid its struggles with declining sales and stock prices.
