Random Model S sightings

[TEG]

Could be a GPS antenna on the roof...

Yes, manufacturer plates, so likely a test car.

Since it has manufacturer's plates it's assumed to just be a test car, so it's likely to be diagnostic equipment.

Noticed the darkened tail lights, too.

Didn't notice that. Wonder if it's a performance or if that's just a dev thing. I did notice it has no Tesla T

 

[spatterso911]

I've only ever seen it on the performance version

Anyone here expecting VIN #33?:

Interesting. It's good to know they aren't biting their nails trying to roll out the first ten this week. Seems like they are on good traction.

I wondered, while viewing that pic, why the panels are two-toned?

I am pretty sure it's a protective cover to keep the workers from scratching it.

Looking at the first picture, that looks like tape over the paint .. not a different color paint.

But who's car is it.....?

 

[goyogi]

Yes, fender covers for if/when they lean over the fender.

I believe it is one of the test drive cars.. "Tryout" on the top?

The white one in the pic above....VIN#33. Think you're looking at the green one.

I saw my fist 'wild' S yesterday around 6:30 in SF on 19th Ave heading NB
of course I was coming down from Eureka for a test drive today SB and wanted to do an illegal U ... but I must say It was pretty going the other direction and the lights definitely stood out among all of the Benz's and Audis. I think it was the lady with the champagne bottle at the release party. Sig red with dark wheels - lookin good!



No, It wasn't her.
I think the guy(sorry) who made the funny video vin#10

Nancy Pflund had 19", so you saw someone else.

One of the model S's that were delivered yesterday spotted today at 2:40pm at El paseo de Saratoga shopping area here in Saratoga CA. Sig red, dark wheels. 6-series CA plate ended in '000'.

It looked great!. Can't wait to get mine!

Mitch.
