Random Model S sightings

[brianman]

While I agree it's a stupid maneuver ... I appreciate the reasoning. People are so f-ing inconsiderate of other people's hard work and the end results ... The keying is deserved by the ahole who is so careless to cause the ding in the first place.

Disagree. The car doesn't deserve keying. Nor does the driver. A strong note perhaps. And maybe a tow if it's in a high value (close to the store/whatever) location.
Mods: Prolly time to move some of this chatter to "why some people think keying is 'justified' " thread.

How many door dings does it take before he starts parking like that? I'm OK with him doing that out in the end of the parking lot. Especially when it's that empty.

I prefer this approach... totally passive, doesn't harm the car in anyway and gets your point across.

I always go out of my way to park as far away as possible from everyone else ...... and Im amazed that people STILL find a way to end up pulling in right next to me in a junker.

Not really a sighting, but this is my car after I just got it about three weeks ago.

And before I get flamed for the parking job, it is my parking lot and I don't have any employees who have EVs (yet).:wink:

It's good to be the king!

I agree with this comment but often hear it the other way around, as in: "the Model S looks like the new Jag from the rear" I make efforts to point out that the design for the exterior of the Model S was made public well before the Jag was coming off the line. Jag totally stole the look from Tesla. While Tesla should be flattered, I was disappointed in Jaguar for this. They never should have gone to Ford... it was all downhill from there.

While I'm not a Ford fan, all the Jaguars I saw before Ford took over were ten days in the shop for every one day on the road (assuming you got a good one).

Not really a random sighting as this was in the Menlo Park service center/store.

Shows the relative size of the Model S, Roadster and Leaf quite well.

While Ford brought the Jags out of the shop, they stripped them of their soul on the way out IMHO. It was about this aspect of the change I was thinking with the comment. Should have been more specific.

The newer ones are getting their groove once again, but as I mentioned I think they ripped off Tesla's design.

Cheers

Jaguar styling has always seemed like such an "old man's car" styling that I never paid much attention to it.

I saw a Red Signature Model S in Chatham, NJ and did a little jig in the car. My folks thought I went looney.

Sorry no pics, but on Friday the 23rd I saw a sig red going up the 50 near Placerville as we were leaving the Apple Hill area, around 2pm.

Also this morning saw a white one leaving Foster City on Edgewater around 9am as I was pulling in to go to work. Second time spotting that one. I thought it looked like GeorgeB but my eyes must be tricking me.

Funny... I was there in my S on Sunday too, but this isn't mine. Drove Highway 1 up through Big Sur. Looked here half expecting to see my car at Nepenthe or something. The S is a joy to drive on that windy route.

I believe he does live in FC. Can't recall if his is white. TEG will be along shortly to find the thread/video in which he told us

I found out today that there is a Signature Red Model S at a business on Rte. 17 South in Paramus NJ. The fellow that saw it asked who owned it and found out it was the owners car.

 

[TMS doc]

George has a white one.

Awfully nice of the owners to invite you in. :biggrin:

Yeah man, way to walk the walk! Looks like a j1772 plug > Henry's CAN > ModelS.

Don't recognise the EVSE - specs please.

Saw a white Model S with gray wheels on the back of a flatbed truck today.
It had rear end damage... :crying:
(US 101 North in Redwood City.)
I am guessing it was on its' way to a body shop to fix the "boo-boo".

What I fear, more than being pulled over by cops or spending extra "Tesla Time" when I'm in a hurry, is
People gawking at the shiny new Tesla, forgetting to pay attention to driving, and ending up smashing into my new shiny car.
