Model S Plaid
My comment was meant as a joke, hence the smiley face. OT, I recently saw this very special Delorean at a Supercar Sunday event in Woodland Hills, CA.

A few yesterday...
The first one was the one that joined me as I was in a caravan following my cousin... So, to the P85 in Morris, NJ. Thanks for letting me follow the Accord Hybrid yesterday. It was raining and I was in unfamiliar territory, so I may not have been as friendly on the road...

And later last night, as we were checking into the hotel in Newark, DE... The fellow traveler from MA that my wife spotted at the parking lot.
Nice Red.

While looking at a street view of 4920 Elm Street 20814, I spotted this white Model S w/ aero wheels.

Dennis,
You must have gotten in late into DE (although when I woke up there were car's on either sides of us).
Great pic of my wife's car! Sorry we missed you, and greetings from Norfolk, VA where I'm pulling 3 miles of range per hour!

was following in the HOV lane out of excitement, just had a p85d test drive yesterday. as soon a commuter bus move out of the lane, the driver tagged it. im thinking simply in sport mode, and it was gone into the horizon.
the little fiat 500e had no chance of keeping up... :redface:

I overtook what I thought was a platinum coloured Model S (the sun was setting - it could have been silver) heading west on the A303 near Wincanton last Wednesday. I was in the red Roadster and waved when I passed.
Last night I saw a blue one heading around Hyde Park Corner in London about 5:40.

Most random sighting ever! Today at work in the middle of nowhere I look outside of the window and see this Jaguar parked outside. Looks almost like a Tesla from far away! .......................:scared: wait what.
As you can see the thing is huge. It doesnt actually really fit in a standard sized UK parking spot! It's a P85+
I have a suspicion that this is the Tesla i have been seeing on my commute to work twice. Cant be THAT many of them around here...... The touchscreen isnt actually that big in real life.

mate i drive a left hand drive and see no reason to order a RHD Model 3 either 
. It really only matters a tiny bit when trying to overtake SUVs or Vans and on Motorways it's actually sort of better to drive a LHD in england. Tbh the touchscreen must be a major ballache to use with your left hand unless you are left handed i guess.

You'll think that until you look at how comically small the screens are in every other car in the road!

Yeah, getting more popular here in Chicago even but still not as common as all the X5s, VWs, MDXs, 3/5/7 series, and other brands. It is just interesting when you start paying attention and noticing a particular model - then it seems like there are a lot more of them out there ;-)

Mark this one under a bad situation turning kind of awesome.
I bought a Syma X5C quadcopter, delivered on Wednesday, which has a camera (not FPV). I decided to take it up really high over my back yard to get a cool view of my neighborhood. A few minutes before doing that, I labeled it with my phone number just in case I lost it. Sure enough, once I tried spinning it around while fighting the wind, I got disoriented and lost it behind the trees. Distraught, I went looking for it, walking along the street. A couple houses down on the other side of the street, a neighbor who I hadn't met before was out in his front yard and got my attention, holding my quadcopter. He was cool and we had a brief chat about it. He asked about the range and said to be more careful (I will). Whew! Unfortunately, the video I tried recording didn't save.
[Update: I recovered the video with the help of a hex editor on an image of the partition. Interesting to watch, but I don't plan to release it for privacy reasons.]
On the way back, just before walking into my driveway, I saw a blue/black Model S coming my way and I waved. It was too quick to make out much detail of the car or driver, let alone a response to my wave, and I didn't think to turn around and check the license plate. It was the first time I've seen one on my street and first time I had (or took) the opportunity to wave. My car was charging just outside the garage, but too out-of-the-way to be easily noticed from the street. I normally park in the garage, but the cement was recently replaced and the sealant isn't ready to be driven on.
