Random Model S sightings

No, it was not photo-shopped! And that fire lane marking is common here. I have absolutely no idea what the f*&k they put it there for! I'm going to start asking to see if anybody knows what that red line means.

Yeah, why paint "no parking" lines in front of parking spaces? How does that work?

OK, I think it just means don't park in the middle of the road, believe it or not. Where the Teslas park is outside the fire lane. The fire lane begins at the nose of the Tesla (at the end of the parking space right at the red painted line) and goes to the other side of the street. This is a picture of what they're trying to get across I think:

Took a road trip to Michigan for my daughter's wedding. I'll post a picture of the bridal Tesla, with ribbons and all (it looked sweet), when I get the pictures. In the mean time - two Illinois Teslas at the supercharger in St Josephs, Michigan on our way back.

You've established that yours is the blue one. I have a grey but make no claims about my parking ability versus the one in the picture (haven't received my BC personalized plates yet anyway!!). However, both cars' license plates end in "xxx EL" - just curious - related? or coincidence? Hope I'm not prying.

Sorry I didn't get a pic, but I saw a black MS on Peña Blvd on the way to Denver International Airport this morning at about 8:45. It was a brand new one; it still had temporary tags.

It was the first time I saw a Tesla "in the wild" (The only other time I've seen a Tesla in person was at the Park Meadows Mall store.) They aren't anywhere near as common here in Colorado as they apparently are in California.

Saw a silver MS driving south on 95 in wells maine around 5:30 this afternoon. It had Mass tags. I hope they build a supercharger in Kennebunk so I can see more on a regular basis.

Can't believe they're transported in open carriages!

Here's another one at almost the same spot, somewhat earlier in the year. Enjoy!

yes, I do stop on the highway to take photos of truckloads of Teslas. Makes my day every time.

 

[GDH]

I'd stop too, it's an amazing site that never gets old!

Yeah, I basically go nuts, temporarily. Passengers, if any, are used to my enthusiasm by now. Driving on I-15 the other day, one of my employees spotted a beautiful blue one w grey 21"s BEFORE I did! Gave him a big high-five!

Don't park in front of the line? If there is a fire that's where the fire department is going to park.

Actually, that blue one on the bottom has the cyclone wheels and looks blue-ish -- it might be mine!

What's your issue with 21s?

What's your issue with 21s?

Maintenance nightmare in places apt to get potholes. (Besides the fast wear).

True on the pothole issue, but I have had no issue with wear...I have 4K miles on mine and they are still going strong. The standard 19s just look boring TO ME on such a sexy car.
