A Tesla in Portman Square... with a note to tell traffic wardens that it really is electric (in London, electric vehicles can park anywhere for free...)
This was a Tesla Roadster, the turbo-charged all-electric dream car of the green-minded geek millionaire. Out in public, parked in North Beach like any other stylish ride. (Tesla’s been hard hit by the economic storm since my visit, but seems to have weathered it alright.)
We were soon joined by a knot of twentysomething hipsters, who instantly recognized the Roadster and started circling it in naked fanboy awe. The owner showed up just then – a Tesla exec, it turned out – and the hipsters started peppering him with questions and asking after the company’s founder (who they referred to by first name like an old pal or beloved guru). Turned out they were all employees of Solar City, one of the young installation companies driving California’s solar boom.
The seat looks like one of those booster seats for toddlers. The car actually does have a Founders' or Sig100 badge, it just doesn't show up in the last photo because of the reflection of the white parking line. It's worth noting, however, some owners do request not to get that badge for whatever reason.The passenger seat is interesting. Is that just a baby carrier on top of the normal seat, or is it a different seat altogether?
It looks like it has non-dealer plates, but it also looks like it is missing the badge for Founders, or Signature 100 series. I wonder why?
I used to work at that Microsoft campus for many years... I wonder if I know the owner?
