Random Model S sightings

I'm guessing your dad didn't get the VIN #?

No. There was actually a guy in the car when my dad took the pictures.

It would be hilarious to see a reply post in the "pictures of people taking pictures" thread.

That would be awesome :biggrin:

Cool that you guys have special EV plates. Are they given out sequentially? I was thinking 1404 was a rather high number, but then I remembered that they give them to any old hybrid as well.

Not sequentially. Each branch of the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) was sent a (at least one) box full, they grab one out of the box and hand it to you. So the numbering depends mostly on which of the 36 branches of the RMV was visited to get the plates.

Saw a Pearl White at the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton. You left it with the valet, but they didn't know how to drive it, so I showed them how to put it in gear

Shout out to someone at that one Cupertino company. VIN in the mid 500-range.

Signature Red at the Half Moon Bay Ritz (2nd one this weekend). VIN low 100s

Is that an electric Beetle? Awesome!

My buddies and I had planned on taking our cars to the track today. I, originally assuming I'd have my car in September, let alone early November, had originally planned on going and putting the Model S up against all their souped up rides. Obviously, I don't have my S and we were invited to a Baby Shower today, so I declined to go.

So, of course it made me a little sad to get these texts from the pit:

Very cool! How did it do?

Is that an electric Beetle? Awesome!

It is indeed. Late 60's model, the guy bought it a few years ago with the intention of converting it. Gets about 70-90 miles to a charge I believe. Probably oldest car in California to have the zero emission HOV stickers...

Rubber mats are being developed for the frunk, trunk and passenger cabin. These will be available in the coming months…

That is excellent news! Hopefully they'll make the rubber mats standard in Norway, like most every other manufacturer.

Spotted yesterday at Bellevue Square (Seattle area) garage waiting to be delivered. Highest VIN: 752.

I'm pretty sure that is the one that lives somewhere in Santa Cruz. We saw in at the National Plugin Day and a couple other times charging in Santa Cruz.

Finally saw my first Model S in the wild at Stonebriar Mall (Frisco, TX) today:

 

[Blurry_Eyed]

Not really a random sighting here. It's my Model S (VIN #532) by our parking garage area. For those who notice, I do have the suspension set to Very High mode in this picture. Been experimenting with it to see how it impacts getting in and out of the car.

We just got back from 3 weeks in California and I finally saw a Tesla S in the wild in San Francisco as we were on our way to the airport to go home. Signature red near the Giant's stadium last Friday morning.
I was afraid I wouldn't see any!

Malibu shopping center near Pepperdine. No VIN but the driver looked college-aged (if that).
