Letterman Worried That Electric Car Would "Magnetize My Nuts" (VIDEO)

The chairman of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, went on the Late Show with David Letterman last night to promote the Tesla Model S, another in his company's line very cool-looking, very electric, very expensive cars. The Model S is slated to be sold in two years for around $49,900.

Here, the car rolls out onto the set and Dave does a really weird thing:
