Tesla has announced a luxurious stretched, convertible car. The Model 88 is three-row luxury cabriolet with six wheels, and designed to travel at low speeds through cities and heading military displays. An excited Elon Musk debuted the Model 88 onstage, touting features such as flag holders on the front fenders and the ease of which a passenger can stand up when the roof is down and give a victory salute.

Musk then invited head of the design team, Berthed Speer, onstage to demonstrate the bulletproof bodywork and glass using an antique Mauser pistol. In a moment in which history seemingly repeated itself, the bullet immediately shattered the window.

According to Musk, a limited amount of Model 88s will be built with the 14th going to President Trump. Musk’s own version will be painted in a color called Blue Goose. The debut was followed by the announcement that the Model S will be renamed as the Model SS. To celebrate the name change, a special edition will be available with interior design by Hugo Boss.
