Random Model S sightings

Sig Model S in San Diego!

I saw this one in the Gaslamp quarter in San Diego today. Sig VIN 75.
My very, very first Model S in-the-wild glimpse! Test drive cars don't count, in my opinion.
Congratulations to the owner! I tried to keep my fellow gawkers away.

My daughter was in a soccer tournament today and I drove by the Superchargers in Gilroy. There were two Model S connected to the Superchargers.

Both cars were gleaming in the sunshine!

(You can see two J1772 charging stations in the background in the third photo.)

Can you imagine pulling up to that charging station in a Model S at that time? I mean, how much would it suck that with <1000 deliveries made to find both stations occupied...

At the event in NY tonight there were 3 in the garage where we parked (2 red, 1 black). Also saw one on the cross Bronx expressway on my way to take momma home

My wife saw someone else's Sig Red S in Laguna Beach on PCH.

The driver was standing next to the car, being written a ticket by a cop. She said the driver was smiling anyway.

I believe this is the details of that event?

And its only going to get worse, right? This is my wife's primary concern about the car, but that's for another thread.

The reports are 500 miles apart. Both in California though.

My sister and B-I-L docked their boat in Oxford, MD last night; they're heading down the Intracoastal Waterway from their home in RI. They report a pearl white S parked at a cottage with a charging cord connected. Anyone we know?

Hope it wasn't dead & abandoned on the shoulder: "World's first stripped ModelS" . . .

Maybe he was 'pulling a Woz' i.e. getting a ticket for doing over 100 mph simply to publicize that electric cars are not wimpy.

Doh! Sorry, not familiar with the area and the timing was so close. Good indication there are getting to be more and more out in the wild with two reports of police with a Model S at close to the same time

Firefox shows images huge-sized, so easy to screen-grab & use as desktop wallpaper. Kudos to OP.

Not great pics, but saw my first S in the wild last night in Manhattan leaving my garage on 42nd St! (he was parked in the same one) Was with him out of the Lincoln Tunnel and a ways out Rt3 into Jersey.

I think that's Dadelus'.

OK, weirdness...

My son and I have gone to same Home Depot twice in the last three days and both times spotted (different) Model S in the parking lot. First time a white Performance and second time the beauty below. Is Home Depot the new hotbed for spotting Tesla? Either way, good to see that Model S owners are do-it-yourselfers...

Just think of all the home improvement supplies you can fit into the two trunks!

I have a Home Depot ~80 miles north of me. I plan on making excuses to drive there once I have my S. It is the perfect distance to have fun and the drive is pretty damn beautiful too (the north most end of CA 101)

Probably getting the parts and pieces they need to finish off the charging situation for their garages!

Our Home Depot has a few J1772 plugs out front!


Since the S holds as much as SUV then why not take it to the store to load up?

First spotting in Maryland, I think. This one a a University of Maryland lot. Photo taken and emailed to me by a fellow Chevy Volt owner who knows I have a Model S on reservation.
