I was at the Woodburn OR Supercharger yesterday (on a trip from SF to Vancouver Canada) and spoke with a new Model 3 owner who had never owned a Tesla before and is not not a Tesla or SpaceX employee. Just took delivery of VIN 58XX. Highest VIN I have seen, and I’ve seen quite a few 3’s in the SF Bay Area where I live. I did not take a photo of the car, which was red.
Then a few hours later I was at the Centralia WA Supercharger and there was a black Model 3 charging. Again, it was brand new and the owner was not a previous Tesla owner or a Tesla/SpaceX employee. VIN 58XX. This time I took a photo because the sun was out and the car looked great. The owner was talking about the car non-stop because people kept coming up to him and asking about it. And I was surprised when two teenage girls walked by and asked if they could take a photo of the 3. They weren’t interested in any of the other Teslas that were there charging, just the 3! They clearly knew that it was something new and exciting.
Also, earlier that day, near Grants Pass OR, I saw a Tesla transporter loaded with new cars, including two Model 3’s, heaving north on I5. The 3’s are coming to the Pacific Northwest!
