Random Model S sightings

[breser]

It's a loaner from Tesla. For "inventory" cars, Tesla uses the MFR plates. CPO cars will have a regular plate.

^ That's a Tesla-owned car. All of their inventory / test-drive vehicles carry that same plate.

I've both MFG and DLR plates on Tesla owned vehicles. I know some states limit the number of manufacturer plates. Not sure what California does in this respect. I vaguely recall also seeing some Tesla owned vehicles with Washington dealer plates up here as well. So can't quite say all the vehicles have the same plates.

Spotted Lightning's twin northbound on the Veteran's Expressway this afternoon. The driver waved furiously and seemed really excited to see Lightning. Classic silver, baby!

Today in Half Moon Bay, CA at lunch, first Titanium in public that I've seen other than mine.

First new blue I've seen. Not as bright and vibrant as I was expecting.

Georgetown? Blue looks great IMO.

Ran an errand this afternoon in the northern Chicago suburbs, saw 5, besides my own. 1 White, 2x Black (including a black that had no 'number' on the right side, I hadn't seen that before) and 2x Light Gray.

Seen Friday morning. Not a great picture as it was 6am and we were going 70 down the hwy. Georgia plates and seen on I-85 North in Greenville between I-385 and Pelham Rd.

Owners can request Tesla not to attach the lettering of the specific Model S they are purchasing and during production of the vehicle they are not placed on the rear tailgate (or trunk door) or whatever you call it in the US.

Tesla still provides the self adhesive number / letter combination inside the vehicle at delivery which can be put on the Model S at anytime by the owner if they change their mind afterwards.

Saw a Black Model S pull out of the Shell station opposite the Battersea Park entrance to the Formula E race at about 8:30 yesterday morning.

On a round trip from the north suburbs to Chicago's Bronzeville (in my ICE, unfortunately) saw 3 blacks, 1 red, 1 white and 1 blue, all on the expressways. FWIW, I also saw a Ferrari. :tongue:

Also, Tesla did not put any model numbers on cars for the first 6 months or so of production. My Jan 2013 S60 has no badge.

From Gold Tesla.... : teslamotors

:scared:

 

[Cyclone]

Ok, we have finally found a Model S whose color I (in my own personal opinion) do NOT like!

Last week in Paris, France:

I guess from the sticker on the side it's some sort of limo service.

 

[TesAus]

This is the 8th Model S I have spotted in Vancouver in two days (and the first that I could actually manage to get a photo of!). Either there are a lot more Teslas in Vancouver than Sydney or the hot weather was bringing them out!

 

[Cyclone]

That one has to be pretty new TesAus as the titanium color has only been out for a few months. Or is that the old Brown iwith the very bright light hitting it just right?

I was trying to work that out myself. I think it was Titanium as it did look too light for brown (which I have seen in the flesh), but I stand to be corrected!

That could be on a test drive, I think those are dealer plates -- the license plate starts with 'D' and has 2/4 characters, not the normal 3/3.
