Montana Free Press: What happened when a Tesla came to Ekalaka

When we saw this story come across our media monitoring feed, the headline caught our attention. The July 21, 2023, story, "What happened when a Tesla came to Ekalaka," by Eric Dietrich of the Montana Free Press sounded like it could be entertaining.

The story, full of self-aware characters, funny circumstances, and a connection to the local electric co-op (Southeast Electric Cooperative, a Basin Electric Class C member), made us guffaw with glee.

We hope you enjoy it too. Read: What happened when a Tesla came to Ekalaka
