Random Model S sightings

[JST]

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.

BYD = "Build Your Dreams," a Chinese car maker that once had ambitious plans for selling electric cars in the US. Warren Buffett was a major investor. It didn't really work out, obvs.

I thought this was interesting. On my way to work I saw a Tesla Taxi!!!. Unfortunately the picture is not very good and I didn't get the name of the Taxi service. I only saw "Taxi" as it drove by.

Update: This is apparently the owner of a Taxi service and not a Taxi. Oh well....

Spotted two in Portland, OR yesterday, including this green 60 near Washington Park. Numbers 5 and 6 since arriving in SFO. Number four was at the base of the McKenzie-Santiam pass, at the intersection of 20 and 22, turning off toward Eugene.

Seeing those shopping carts so close makes me cringe.

I purposely park uphill from any potential shopping carts and stores whenever possible. What a menace.

Random sighting, I promise. Cross my heart and hope to crash my Tesla. Btrflyl8e and her boyfriend came to downtown St. Pete to meet me for dinner tonight. They took me to someplace that has a mac & cheese & BBQ sandwich. (I think maybe BBQ is the only thing she ever eats.) After dinner we walk up Beach Drive for gelato, of course. On the way back she spots (props to Btrflyl8e) a red Model S across the street. She says hey, those are 19s, that must be xhawk101’s car.

I don’t care whose car it is, I’m crossing the street to snap a picture for a random sighting and Btrflyl8e wants to make sure they are Rial Luganos. As we get closer and I take out my phone, the horn starts beeping and the lights are flashing. We can’t see who is doing it, but obviously they must be watching us. I get my picture.

As we turn to walk back across the street, xhawk101 and his partner are heading towards us. We all say something like “Ha ha, very funny honking the horn and flashing the lights when you knew we were looking at your car.” He says “No, I forgot where it was and was trying to find it.” Fun little meetup on a hot muggy night in Florida. And truly random.
