Looks like a pretty bland color for a custom job. And with a brand new paint job, would they be transporting it on an open flatbed?

True about the color, it does look like something tesla already offers...black
I think its ok to transport the car uncovered, I'm sure they let the car cure for sometime after its painted

Wednesday afternoon I pulled up next to a white Model S by the Hilton in downtown St. Pete. The driver looked over and I waved. He looked perplex for a second, wondering why I was waving. Then he looked down and the door handle, realized I was driving a Model S. He got all excited and said something to the passenger who leaned forward to look. Then he rolled the window down to speak, but the light changed and we had to go. Almost a combo random sighting / Tesla moment.

Sorry no first-hand photo, but I did manage to track down a web post.
On the way home today in northern VA and the first thing thing that caught my eye was the color. Then I noticed it was a Model S. Then I noticed the political affiliation.
Just came across this awesome Bernie Sanders branded Tesla. - Imgur

I don't know what is more rare in these shots... The Random Model S spotting, or the rain in SoCal!

Love it... It's so spot on!
That's what I was implying.

It was a wonderful 70F day and I had my sunroof and front windows open 100%, which isn't very common since I'm usually listening to podcasts on my commute and driving on highways or in smelly/noisy traffic. Because of that, I was able to wave to this one on Van Dyke very obviously with my hand out the window. I think they waved back, but difficult to tell.

Company picnic today in McLean VA, at a park where at least one other company was doing the same thing. We arrive, get some food, and sit down next to the CTO and his family. He says he saw my car when he arrived, and he immediately starts giving me a hard time about my parking job. I ask, "how long have you been here?" And he replies, "about a half-hour." I had only arrived 5 minutes prior, and sure enough, my wife spotted a nearly identical silver P85 (with grey interior) already in the parking lot. And the parking job actually wasn't all that bad, the driver just hadn't pulled up as far as he/she should have.
The story reminds me a bit about my first random Model S sighting, which I might have posted about a long time ago, but I can't find the post.
May 2013, I was at an all-day event at a campground, in a remote area off Route 1 between Malibu and Oxnard. I had only just heard about Model S a few weeks before, and after receiving some good news while in LA (from the same CTO in fact) I started thinking about test driving one. The parking lot held maybe 25-50 cars total, many of which were rentals that out-of-town family were driving. One of the cars in the lot was a grey P85, so I pointed it out to my wife and kids, and I even took a photo of it (see below). That car left the event in the mid-late afternoon, I think, and I never (knowingly) met the owner. Then, a couple hours later, a blue Model S, which I had somehow missed in the parking lot, drove by us as it was leaving the same event. I was floored to see two together in such a remote location, especially since not that many had been delivered yet (maybe ~10K total).

Saw this matte black Model S while at the Primm supercharger on my way back from Vegas, had to take a picture since most Model S I've seen are completely stock. Looks killer!

Can't be a coincidence.. I really like the dark red color of the middle one. Too bad they discontinued that.
That's Signature Red, it isn't discontinued, it's reserved. A bunch of Model Xs in that color are about to hit the streets.

White one at Capital Tacos in Land O Lakes Friday night. I would have stopped but didn't see it until I was past it and had a hot pizza in the frunk.
