The #20 bus going to Millennium Park indicates that these pics were probably taken in Chicago.
Might this be P4?? Previously seen in Monaco.

So the next question is what P4 is doing there. Is there some kind of Tesla event in Chicago or is it being delivered to it's owner? If it's the latter, lets hope he/she doesn't have any issues with the car any time soon. Quite a distance for the car to travel for service.
 
Before scrolling or reading details I thought it was New York.
Probably many cities have a corner that looks something like that. I had to do a little sleuthing to figure out where it was. The closest I've managed to get to Chicago is a bunch of layovers at O'Hare. But the cab with IL plates and the local city bus are what gave it away. That and the fact that the photographer's Flickr profile says he's from Chicago. :wink:
(Of course he could have been traveling, so I had to look for other clues to be sure.)

ABG confirms it for us:

Another Tesla spotted on its way to its new home - AutoblogGreen

Over at the Tesla Motors Club, one of the posters put a couple of photos of a silver Tesla Roadster on the back of a flatbed truck in the Windy City. I checked with Tesla and they confirmed that this car is in fact P4, the fourth production model. This is the same car that had been temporarily used as a marketing car in Europe and was seen in Monaco and Cannes. It has now arrived in the States and is on its way to its owner who happens to be a Tesla board member that lives in Chicago. You might now be saying to yourself: "that's at least three cars that have been delivered and still no car for Martin Eberhard. What gives?" Stay tuned for news on that front. We'll have something for you very soon.
