I had my first "Model S from my Model S rear view camera" sighting yesterday on the way home from work.

Sighted another model S -- in Ithaca!

Didn't expect that to happen so quickly!

If you were the guy driving a red Model S down route 13 (Fulton St.) and honked at me with a thumbs up, I was the guy in the white model S. :)

I guess after only a month I'm no longer the owner of the only Model S in Ithaca.

(I didn't find a forum for "missed connections", so I just tossed this here; mods can put it whereever they like.)

Nestled among the (charging) Volts and many Toyota Hybrids in the electric vehicle lot at Logan Airport on Wednesday was this nice clean white Model S. Didn't photo my dirty blue one.

Can't drive the LA freeways (101 and 405) without seeing multiple S's. 4 yesterday-- a black one was next to me for quite a while. Tinted windows. Could have been Franz?

Saw a brand new grey model s today while driving in Seattle near cherry hill around 8 am. Caught it out of the corner of my eye, thought beautiful car, looked again and realized it was a model s. One disadvantage of driving one is not realizing how great it looks on the outside all the time.

We'll be on those 2 freeways tomorrow, coming from Santa Barbara returning home to San Diego. I'm too lazy to top off the car (closest charging station is about a mile away, the car has 200 miles of range now, probably 190 by the morning, with about 195 miles to get home), so we'll make a 10 minute stop at the LA Supercharger mid-day tomorrow.

Two more sightings in Albuquerque today:
This morning, my brother saw a silver S with tag TESLA1 at Highpoint Sports & Wellness.
Then about 1pm, my wife & I saw a brown S with grey 21" wheels parked at Scarpa's on Montgomery & Eubank.

Hopefully they'll become more and more prevalent here, so we can get an Albuquerque Service Center!

Saw one in King of Prussia area

I was driving so I couldn't take a pic, but I "thumbs up" the driver. He smiled. I think it was same car I saw like 2 months ago.

Make that three today. About 6:45P, saw a blue one headed south on Tramway.
And the DS in Denver says mine will be on a truck this evening!
Seriously, we need a service center here. :wink:

Lloyd, missed you, but there were (2) Model S's at the LA Superchargers when I arrived at ~11AM, with 2 more owners arriving minutes later, then 2 Tesla employees arrived with new cars a few minutes later that they needed to charge up for new deliveries happening in the next few days, for a total of 7 cars. All were black or blue.

Out of the 4 SC's, one had an orange cone in front of with a note on the SC saying there was some sort of problem with it, but one of the Tesla employee said it was just an occasional problem with the access door, and that the SC was working fine, so one of the waiting cars pulled in and started to use it. I only needed about 20 miles worth of additional range to get back down to San Diego, but after talking with other owners for a few minutes, I found that I had taken in ~100 miles of juice, the SC are that fast.

Maybe see you tomorrow, I'm going to San Diego also, stopping in LA 2X both directions. Green, P85
