Random Model S sightings

[fieldalias]

Random white tesla parked outside last night (in my usual spot). There were 2 parked right next to each other. The other was black (missed getting a pic.).
Was interested to know what Tint this owner used. (Back window did not look like 3M).

It looks like your photo was taken in Australia!

driving home today on the 134 eastbound i saw a black tesla with lovely grey 21" wheels at the san rafael ave freeway onramp traffic control lights. though wow, i love the way the grey 21"s wheels look. then the front end lifted and he started to gain speed. looked very fast.

the tesla stayed behind me and got off at one the 210 interchange. i tried to get a glimpse of the rear for the badge identifier but the angles were not working. im 85% sure it was a p85d given the bulk of the badge and the way it exploded to speed.

At Lunchtime today on the I5-North, I saw a really nice new blacked out black P85D heading onto the Pomona freeway.

I passed this brown Model S at 4:31 this afternoon as it was headed south on Route 281 in Cortland. I didn't see it in time to wave or anything. The dashcam captured the picture. From the rear dashcam shot I could see the car had a spoiler.

Given how rare it is to spot a brown, I wonder if that's my friend from Auburn. Ironically, also an Andy.

No front license plate, so it's hard to tell what state this vehicle is from. Andy, were you able to catch the rear plate? The Model S is still pretty rare in Central NY.

Here's the shot from the rear camera. I can't really see anything on the plate.

We need some 4K dash cams...

Looking closely at the two pictures I posted above, I'm wondering if the quality is actually less than what it would have been if I had not been using the polarizing filters that I organized the group buy for. I'm actually going to remove them for a while, and see how the next pictures I try to save look.

The filters definitely work well with respect to reducing the glare. I'm just wondering if by virtue of also reducing the total light available to the dashcams, they are also reducing image quality.

"dark" p85d buena vista north under the 5 freeway bridge.

sadly the dashcam was exposed for under the bridge and the p85d sat at the signal under the sun.

Joined by a brand-spankin' new gray 70D with NJ temp plates in Arlington, VA. Anybody here on TMC? I'll buy you a cup of coffee- not only because you have great taste, but also because the baby wipes on your center console isn't lost on me.

If you are ever in Charlotte, NC (or I'm in Shenandoah (been a couple years)), we should park next to each other. My plate is "KCKD GAS"

Haha. Yes. I saw a KICKN GAS somewhere also. We could cover the whole spectrum of verb tenses.

First local sighting in my Tesla-naive little town of Waynesboro, VA. Brand new 85D. Anyone here on TMC? Would love to know if our Tesla population around here just doubled!

Saw this 70D tonight in the Greenville Commons parking garage next to the Hyatt in downtown Greenville.

Finally captured my own picture of another Model S in Ithaca, from my P85D's dashcam, and got a wave!

Just before 7:45 PM this evening I pulled up to the intersection of Route 13 and Warren Road, heading South on Warren Road, and realized that the car directly across Route 13 from me was another Model S! I flashed my lights a few times, but did not get a response. We were turning left onto Route 13 and the other Model S was also turning left, so we were going to pass fairly close together in the intersection. When we did, the passenger in the other Model S, a young woman, lowered the window and waved, and my wife and I both waved back.

Because of the low light, I'm not certain of the color, but I believe it was brown.
