Five minutes of googling produces this. The nephew who supposedly took the ride and relayed the story later doesn't exist. Tesla never had a nephew named Peter Savo. The story is a fabrication.

Nikola really never ran out of interesting inventions. The car would be much more appealing if it can travel at a higher pace.

Fools. The car WAS the time machine. He attached the tubes to his flux capacitor and away he went...

Since this *is* Tesla we're talking about, his possession of a time machine would not surprise me.

I can just imagine what a speed of 90 miles an hour would do to this 1931-or-older vehicle.

While Tesla was indeed a fantastic character, I'd like to BUST this MYTH. This story, which originated from a supposed nephew of Tesla, is undone by the detail with which the author attempts to give his story credibility. Specifically, his mention of use of a 70L7 vacuum tube - which was not invented until 1939 - would have been pretty difficult to do in 1931. Unless Tesla used his time machine to procure them....
