While the 67-year-old can afford a myriad of luxury cars, the famed director skipped over Audis, Porshes and Maybachs to drive an electric Tesla to post-Oscars lunch in Brentwood, California, on Monday. Fast becoming Los Angeles new car obsession, the Tesla has become the vehicle of choice for environmentally conscious celebrities.

Priced around $60,000, the car is certainly not your average family sedan but then again famed movie maker is worth $3 billion.

While Steven did not have any films in the running for an Academy Awards, last year the director had won big landing himself a gold stature for Best Director and Best Picture for Lincoln.

The film fight started when Miramax - which was founded by Harvey - waged an expensive publicity campaign against the director's film Saving Private Ryan, in order to secure its own movie Shakespeare In Love a Best Picture gong.
