Ah, more "on the road" photos, great!

I love the way the front blinkers look.

On the other hand, I wish that the whole oval/rectangle on each of the rear taillights would light up when you brake. I don't like the half-lit look.

Not completely sure if this is Elon's car, with custom Alcantara on top of the dash...

Is it me or are the 21" rims just a little bit too much wheel on a bright day? While the turbine rims look great, I'd like some one trying out 20" or even 19" turbine ones. Fodder for the turbine rim thread: Would you buy 19 inch turbine wheels?

21" wheels are too much on any day:smile: I'm hoping that by the time my number comes up (later next year) Tesla will have found a supplier for the Aero wheels.

@Norbert, thanks for posting these photos of the car in it's "natural surroundings". They give me a better perspective of how the car's color will look on the street. Looking forward to the rest of your collection.

Thanks! Hope get to more this weekend.

Is that white or silver?

White, perf wheels.

 

[MikeK]

Thanks!

I thought it was pearl white and put that on the first page, but am not sure anymore. The silver can look whitish under a lot of sunlight, from that angle. I'm comparing with other photos, but have to leave now, I'll check later.

Do you still plan to use all those placeholder posts?

Do you still plan to use all those placeholder posts?

Yes, though I don't know yet if it'll be 40 or 80 photos. I'll delete any unneeded ones when I do. (i also intend to post any from the upcoming Palo Alto drive here.)

 

[Norbert]

With a white wall being reflected at that point, the whole sequence made it look very much white, with all the reflections, and I remained unsure until I found out that the actual pearl white Model S passed 2 minutes earlier.

So this is the silver one. I'm editing the photo posts accordingly.

Brown (in lots of sunlight, except for the front)

I've now posted one of each color. (Except Catalina white, if someone is interested in Catalina white, I'd see if there are two comparable photos with Catalina white and Pearl white.)

Let me know in case there is something specific you'd like to see next, otherwise they'll come in somewhat random order.

Now, that looks a bit like Justin Bieber's Fisker
