Wasn't able to snap a photo of it, but just saw one in the wild in South OC, on Lake Forest Blvd. in Laguna Hills. Also just saw one up in San Jose while visiting mom for the holidays. I know...Not that special, there is a high density of Teslas of all types in the Bay Area. Just excited to see a few in the wild with my own eyes, rather than friends sending me pics, or seeing them on TMC.

Didn't get a pic, but I saw a Midnight Silver Metallic 3 heading south on 15th ave w in Seattle near Magnolia/Interbay.
We saw our first Model 3 yesterday at the Baker Supercharger. What a beauty! It belongs to Vince, who works at the Hawthorne Design Studios.
We were both charging between Las Vegas and L.A. on the way back.
That charging station is awesome. 40 stalls-- the biggest on the planet! We were hooked up when he pulled in-- I thought "Model 3! --- No, Model S ..." (they look so much alike) -- but then I saw his door handles -- - A MODEL THREE! THE FIRST ONE I'VE SEEN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
He said he'd had it only 3 or 4 days, and that he didn't like the wheel upgrade he had. So go with the stock wheels and tires.
He has a white one, and it was absolutely gorgeous. He explained to me how the while car's design makes it look bigger than a darker car, because the lines between the body panels stand out on the lighter car but are not visible on the darker car. There was a black X near us, and like he said, I could not see the lines on it, but on his white Model 3, they jumped out.
I have been waiting since 2006 or maybe 2005 for this car, and it is here!

Kim from "Like Tesla" film her last episode in Seattle, and they found a couple M3's in the SpaceX parking lot in Redmond.

Drove next to a blue model 3 for a few miles on I-5 N between Seattle and Lynnwood. Gorgeous car. Seeing them up close isn't making the wait any easier!

That's our car. It's probably the same one spotted near Anacortes, WA. Our son drove it all around NW Washington and later around NW Oregon during his Christmas vacation. It's back in Salem, now.
Saw a black one with aero wheels headed south on I5 in the Shoreline area last night. Wasn't overly impressed with the headlights, but it's hard to tell on the wet roads what he was seeing. First time seeing one on the move in WA.
(I'd previously seen them in person in Fremont when I was in the area a few months ago)

N8Howell33, We're in south Salem not far from the Kuebler exit. We're showing the car to 2 others if you're interested in checking it out. If so, send me a message.

Yeah that would be awesome. I have 3 boys and am a little worried about all 3 fitting in the back seat! I currently have a plug in Hyundai Sonata and it works out. If you PM me I can give you my cell #. Thanks in advance!
Saw a truck full of Model 3s (looked like 8 or 9 cars) heading north on I-5 near Longview at about Noon this afternoon. I would have taken a picture but I was the only one in the car. My guess is that they're offloading these in Seattle tonight. Hopefully we'll start seeing more PNW sightings shortly!
