The lady claimed that paying an extra GH¢400 would have provided her with the chance to ride in a Tesla truck, something she wishes she had known earlier, so she could have prepared adequately for that experience.
"You can also pay an extra GH¢400 to have a ride in this Tesla. Believe me, I wish I knew of the option before. If I had, I would have stayed a little longer and would have gone back for this experience some other time."
She was then shown around the premises where she was educated on the history, inspiration, and purpose behind setting up the Despite Automobile Museum.
The lady said she was then ushered into the museum, where she saw some of the beautifully displayed cars in the museum.
