I get way more looks with my grey 21" wheels than I do with the stock 19's. People who know its a Tesla will know what kind of car it is, but it's definitely more subdued with the 19" wheels.
This may seem OT, but on the road simply turning off the front LED driving lights makes the car a lot more discreet. From the front the driving lights are instantly identifiable; without them, Model S looks like a Ford Fusion from any distance.
Generally they don't notice the vehicle unless they see me pull up or we take my car to lunch.
I don't have a lot of possessions, but the ones I have, I would rather have nice ones which are unique and fit my taste and will last.
I work as a consultant in mechanical engineering within the automotive industry.
While a lot of the discussion here has focused on the general discretion of the car, I think that the emphasis (mine) above is more important for this discussion.
Tesla is bucking the trends and pushing for all-electric, whereas the industry as a whole seems to want to push the transition step (hybrids) more than the culmination. Most of the primary automotive manufacturers have divested themselves of all engineering but the engine itself.
If you are regularly consulting with the primary makers (GM, BMW, Hyundai, etc) then I would most emphatically not recommend bringing attention to the car which was created to force their hand into electric. If you're dealing with secondary makers (makers of windshields, transmissions, wheels.. whatever else) then the more eloquent arguments above point to "don't worry about it".
I totally agree with the statement about "I would never have spent this much money on a regular car".
checkI don't need the Tesla Model S.
Yet, I found a way after few months' serious thought.I cannot afford the Tesla Model S.
Amen again.Yet I must have it.
