The car dating app at work

So how does it all work? For this app specifically, you have to be a Tesla owner. Once you're approved as an eligible bachelor or bachelorette, you'll be greeted with an interface that's surprisingly similar to apps like Tinder. You'll see a potential match and either hit a big red ‘X' or a green circle to say ‘no' or ‘yes', respectively. There's one key detail, though. Under every photo, you'll be able to see a Tesla-style rendering of each person's car accompanied by a short description. Hot. This is all a very tongue-in-cheek way to poke fun at people who love their Teslas a little too much. Still, it could very much signal a shift in the way we date. People increasingly want to connect over things they truly love. Plenty of niche dating sites have already amassed thousands of singles. But should you sign up? While it might be fun to swipe through some “S3XY” Tesla owners while you're stuck at home, we think the best connections are made out in the world, or out on the road. Once you do snag a car-loving cutie through the car dating app though, why not this fall?
