Random Model S sightings

[AEdennis]

At that rate, I'm kind of surprised anyone in CA cares enough about sightings to take drive-by pictures. Then again, it's Tesla, it doesn't get old very fast. Once I started seeing about 2 Volts a day, I stopped tracking them, though I still spot them and think "hello Volt" in my head. Now I see roughly 15 a day. For Tesla, still only 5 after 2 years. In fact, I just realized, tomorrow is the 1 year anniversarry of my first Model S sighting in the wild.

I subscribe to this thread to look at pictures/sightings outside of California. In my drive, it is pretty common for me to see at least five to seven Tesla Model S. Still excited with Roadster sightings, however.

It is a personal choice however, I completely agree with you. For me a Model S in 19s is the equivalent of wearing a Giorgio Armani dress with flip flops.

True that :wink:

I now live in a condo so no garage any more, but when I had one, it NEVER looked as neat and tidy as all the pictures on TMC. By the way, nice car!!!

Ugliest1, I'm with you. I HAVE a garage but it's so full of crap I can't put my MS in it. I'm not sure it would fit anyway, even if it was empty!

Saw this light blue custom painted P85+ at the Gym in Sunnyvale today. It belongs to Tennis great Roger Federer (or so the says the License Plate). Pretty cool eh?

Nah, it's not the Fed. Just one of his biggest fans, our own @Laurent. Looks like he's been working out

Darn it! I would've loved to see that. I'm a huge Federer fan! :wink:

Is that a wrap or a real paint-job?

It's real and it's spectacular :smile:

It's real and it's spectacular :smile:

You can say that again! Were you one of the few lucky factory custom paint jobs, or is that an after-market paint job?

Yes and yes. I ordered my car with a custom color but then I changed my mind and I had it repainted at Chilton Auto Body, the same body shop that did the custom paint job for Tesla. It cost me a fortune but I love the color.

I never think to take a picture even when I can... But we saw a lovely brown MS about 30 minutes ago at Square 1 Burgers on Tyrone. Bob, was that you?

I almost forgot, I also saw the gray MS heading east on Gandy again today, right at 4:45pm.

This one's fairly random since it's the only one I saw on the highway today at all - I was travelling south on CA1 coast highway about 17mi north of Hearst Castle, an I-can't-remember-the-colour S rounded a corner coming the other way; we flashed our headlights at each other in greeting. Great drive today on 1.

On Saturday at 10 AM Texas time, I saw one at a whole foods market in San Antonio. I was in a rental car and parked next to it.

 

[Roadster22]

I saw these in my Drive way

At the Houston Gallaria...mine is the gray one at the back:love: I have only seen about 3 "in the wild", and one of them was this morning on the way to work. At W Little York and the beltway about 7am.

LOL!!! I work at that Gym. I'll keep my eye out for you! The Gray P85 you parked next to was mine.

Makes note of Chilton Body Shop... Just in case.

Just saw a silver Model S on Main St. near Ann Arbor-Saline Rd. in Ann Arbor. Looked new - had the "Zero Emissions" "plate". I couldn't tell if the 21-day tag was in the rear window or not.

Spotted a black Model S in Manatee county on 41 just north of the airport today around 11 am
