Random Model S sightings

[rpo]

Saw a red in the handicap parking at the Mono Lake Visitor Center yesterday. I know Mono Lake is in California but this is (currently) off the beaten path. Would love to know how the owner got there since I had too leave my Model S at home and drive the gas guzzler.

That is impressive especially considering the Bishop supercharger does not exist....yet. The mountains around Mono Lake would be quite detrimental to battery usage too. I will be taking mine, once I get it, on a road trip that will certainly include a stop at the Mobil gas station at Mono Lake. Hopefully you know about that place!

Another no-sighting report - after the previous one from the Windy City - this time from the Vancouver region after three days in Richmond, Victoria, North and Downtown Vancouver.

Should have stopped by Salt Spring Island and paid @vger a visit on the ferry ride over from Victoria...

Tessie slowly losing miles to the vampire back home (12 miles in 3 days, sleep mode on, not plugged in, woken up just this time):

G_G, I'll be making the drive from SFO to Seattle with my family next week, followed by an Alaskan cruise. It will be tons of fun, but I am *dreading* driving a rented ICE Minivan for that distance, and will undoubtedly be monitoring Tess longingly over the iPhone App, as you are!

Yup, driving one such ICE behemoth (a Chrysler Town & Country) here. Not fun at all. Can't wait for the Hyperloop Vehicle Transporter!

Saw 3 in my same row of parking (including mine) in Terminal Direct parking near Alaska Airlines at SeaTac this morning. A few weeks ago I was one of 4 lined up in charging spots at SeaTac. I regularly see 2 whites and one grey on Vashon Island too.

Strike that. Saw a beautiful Sig Red on Granville St near W King Edward Ave. in Vancouver. Sweet!

Black (I'm sure of it this time) spotted NB Stephenson Hwy between 14 Mile and Maple at 10:03am. Maybe the same one I saw on the 14th.

Hilarious. A few months ago I wouldn't have been sure, but now I have a trained eye.

You're welcome :wink:

Had my first sighting where I had a camera handy yesterday! I'd say 5th sighting overall (not counting when I drive by the Watertown service center to gawk).

Went to see Guardians of the Galaxy at the Jordan's Imax in Reading, MA opening night last night (by the way that movie is hilarious and amazing, possibly Marvel's best yet) and saw a beautiful and spotless Red 60. Pano roof, tan leather interior, piano black dash. VIN in the 34,000s.

I LOVED the license plate. I suspect he went to see the earlier showing (we arrived 80 minutes early for the later showing and there was already a huge line). While I was taking the photo a Ford explorer type car with all the windows down, carrying 5 teenage boys drove by us. I heard one guy say "Wooo sweet ride!" then a pause "Holy **** was that a Tesla??" Then they drove around the parking lot and came back the other way yelling "Love it!" as they zoomed by.

By the time the movie got out at midnight, the Tesla was gone. I hope he enjoyed the movie as much as we did!

Sig S spotted at chase field tonight leaving the diamond back game.

I am driving an underpowered Dodge Caravan, and have never missed my Tesla more than on yesterday's sinuous stretch between Cloverdale and Mendocino. Until today's equally curvy ascent on the 1 from Mendocino to Leggett, and then winding up the Avenue of Giants into Humboldt.

Let me big shout out to ZExtraterrestrial for some fantastic tour tips and stops, this coastal rainforest is truly spectacular! I have been on the lookout for your Grey Ghost, but have seen no Teslas since SFO!

Enjoying the awe-inspiring beauty of Banff and Jasper now (and that included a bonus Grizzly sighting!); no sightings of a Tesla in Alberta so far.

There are some TMC folks in Calgary so, may hopefully run into one in the next day.

Hiya Tessie!

Cool... I have a TESLA Model S as well. I live in Calgary. There are only a few TESLAs yet we all love our EV. Come and see us.. Calgary is a great place.
On wednesday at the Grey Eagle Casino, there is a car show and a few tesla owners come and meet and show off their cars.

Just spotted my first Tesla since SFO...a dark P85 with WA plates leaving the Trees of Mystery parking lot south of Crescent City. Pretty sure it was green, but it might have been blue and just looked green with all of the reflected trees.

New Orleans International Airport Long Term Parking. Three Chargepoint Level 2 chargers installed and two Teslas using them.

(Admittedly, one of them is mine, the other is "random"...)

Vacationing in Maine this week I spotted a nice MC red heading south on 95 outside of Bangor. I waved from the northbound lanes but I don't think they noticed the rental ICE.

 

[SamGarber]

Possibly a Sig Red heading West on I-195 near Cream Ridge NJ just now

Ha not sure. Never even heard of the make! Seemed like the person was pretty proud of it since he wrapped the whole car advertising it being electric.
