Just got back home to Maryland from a trip to California; we lost count of how many Model S we saw around LA. We stopped for lunch at Nepenthe Restaurant in Big Sur and there was black car with perf. wheels in the lot when we got there. By the time we were done, the black car had left and there was a brand new multi-coat red P85+ on it's way home from the factory; chatted with the new owner briefly - she was beaming. Coincidently, I saw racing legend Bobby Rahal leaving the restaurant as we were being seated. I searched the forum to see if he was listed but got no results; consider the rumor that Mr. Rahal drives a Model S started ;-).
We saw surprisingly few Model S in the Bay Area, but it was car week at Pebble Beach so the place was slathered with Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, and every other exotic that you could think of. However, our limited sightings were rare birds - Sig Red #790 in the parking garage at Cannery Row and another Sig Red #277? parked near the America's Cup pavillion in San Francisco. Hi there if you're on the forum! The kids loved spotting Teslas in the wild, it even became a game to distract Dad later in the trip - "Look a Tesla! Haha made you look!" It was great to get a preview of what the DC area may look like some day, but it's especially nice to be back home to drive my car again.
