Random Model S sightings

[bmah]

One of these things is not like the others...

We almost got all three Teslas at my son's school lined up for parent-teacher conference day, and since we didn't plan it this way I'm going to declare it belongs in the "random" thread. :biggrin:

(The silver Model S in the back is mine, and the two in front belong to one of the other families at school. The outlier is my wife's BMW 335d. We were joking about making her move so we could get all the Teslas together.)

If that were me and my SO, I wouldn't be joking about making her move, I would have practically insisted on it!!! (And she probably would.)

you should've taken her keys, moved her car and summoned your car forward.

I believe there was a single intact one donated to the Smithsonian, and a few others that were mechanically and electrically disabled that still exist in a few research labs.

In my twice weekly trip to Detroit, I have had the chance to see and follow a DeLorean, a EV1, even a Ford GT. Around the Detroit Woodward Dream Cruise event, lots of exotic cars. All on the interstates and being driven.

How is it possible an EV1 was seen driving?

I thought GM disabled the few they allowed to be saved by museums and the rest destroyed.

I was wondering the same. The only EV1 that was not disabled was the one given to the Smithsonian, since they only take intact specimens. However, according to Wikipedia, some deactivated EV1s were later reactivated against their agreements.

Francis Ford Coppola has an EV-1 that works. Jay Leno included it in a recent episode of his current show online.

I don't know if this counts as a Random Sighting...

A group of local owners got together for lunch today. Someone driving by snapped this picture (so Random Sighting to him), and posted about it on Reddit. In our town, it still is pretty uncommon to see a Tesla, let alone a group of them together.

It doesn't count but who cares. Your screen name is hilarious.

I'm in Oslo right now and it's great seeing all the MS here. The D probably is great in the winter months.

Saw this one in downtown Vancouver, WA today. What was funny was I had a feeling to look around the parking lot to look for Tesla's when I left the building. I had given up and was getting into my car when I looked up and saw this P85. I saw a black one on SR14 on my way there. The first two Teslas I've seen in weeks.

Saw a white one on EB Square Lake at Rochester around 6PM. I was NB Rochester in the right lane hiding behind a van and SUV. I'm pretty sure that was the first sighting I confirmed by looking at the tail lights, since I didn't take notice until after it passed the intersection.

Saw a black Tesla S in Telluride, CO yesterday AM. With no nearby superchargers, I can only guess it is a local car?

Is that the dinosaur from the movie "The Wizard" where the younger brother yells out "California!!"?

Saw this one on February 7th. Seems to be an early one since there's no battery designation. It is an old blue on 422. TMC member?

Not me... But, speaking for those that have "Old Blue". I prefer the term "Classic Tesla Blue"

Saw one in a very remote location: Stovepipe Wells hotel in the middle of Death Valley National Park!! Was surprised to see a Tesla there.

I've recently heard the Model S referred to as passe and I see them fairly regularly now, but this morning I saw a Sig Reg heading into DC on Chain Bridge. This rare bird still makes me jealous of the truly early adopters.
