Random Model S sightings

[Trnsl8r]

Thanks, good tips. The odd part is that it looked right on the phone and on the computer. Next time...

Thanks for the pic's. For those of us who are far away from the factory we appreciate any and all, no matter the quality:biggrin:

I drove by the Telsa Store in Menlo Park late last night and noticed a black and a signature red Model S parked in the showroom. I'll be visiting the store today to check them out and will report back.

Sounds like the same two that made an appearance at the Google Earth Day event. Please report on the Red #65 in particular with the cloth interior.

We visited the Santana Row (San Jose) store Sunday to check out the new beta. It really is a step up in fit and finish. However, while driving on Stevens Creek towards 85, a white Model S came out of Santana Row and onto Stevens Creek behind us. That's our second sighting in the "wild."

Hey there. Do you know which beta they have in Santana Row now? When I was there this weekend it was the "old" silver #29.

Don't know it that was your phone, but on the iPhone, up is with the volume controls at the bottom when using the rear facing camera and with them at the top when using the front facing camera (same side as screen). If you're going to send them straight from the phone, you have to pay attention to that.

After I transfer the pics to my PC, I use a lossless rotate utility to quickly set things to right.

Off topic, but this is where the accelerometer can help (auto-rotating photos to the correct orientation).

We received a message Friday night that stated that

Our store's brand new Model S Beta was just delivered from its birthplace at the Tesla Factory! You'll notice fit and finish advances from or last Model S Beta. The Tesla Factory team continues its hard work to ready the entire manufacturing process to build your Model S.

Unfortunately, I didn't check out the VIN.

Yeah, I got the same email, but once I (and goyogi - shout out) got there, we found out it was #29 and that marketing had been a bit over-zealous in sending out the email. Or that "new" meant "different from last week".

Darn, and for a moment there I was getting ready to plan a hike down to Santana Row, thanks for saving me a trip!!

Well, disclaimer: that was Saturday morning. Who knows what might have happened since then...

Probably the betas we've seen a few weeks ago were not meant to stay there. But now they have a resident beta which is newer than the resident one they had before (which might have been from last year). Or something like that.

EDIT: So which color/leather/trim combination does their current beta have?

If you happen by there and see an updated Model S, would you let me know please? I tend to stay around Menlo Park otherwise...

Suuure... but I better post it at Model S Tour (Stores)) or I'll get the mods after me... since this about the "wild" Model Ss...

So true, you don't want to get on the Mods Dom's side!

Heyyyy!!

for the record, you guys are nearly a full-time job!

I wonder when one of our hackers is going to replace bonnie's avatar with the enforcer image.

 

[bonnie]

We have ... hackers??

(You all know making me a mod was an example of Doug's twisted sense of humor. He was tired of how quickly I took things off track. Brilliant move, really. ... but as Nigel pointed out, I only have to behave on my assigned forums. Yay.)
