Spotted one visiting a neighbor on my street!!! I think this is the closest random spotting to my house.

Black or blue spotted at 8:58am, NB Rochester just north of Big Beaver. Only managed a couple glances as I was in SB traffic.
Was driving to my Model S test drive when I spotted my first ever Tesla in the wild:
Monday 11-03 around 1400 hours.
Columbus, OH I-270 near Dublin, OH heading towards Easton.
Green Model S with granny (silver fox) driver zipping in L lane at 85mph, eeeh haaah!
Sadly I could not follow having been a victim of the VA and OH staties twice already
within a year
Oh, and BTW, as an internist/geriatrician I really have a lot of respect for these elderly
but young in spirit people who drive a Model S.

Wow. Here in the Bay Area, I think we are the highest MSs per capita. Especially in Marin County. I have a new P85+ and nary a notice.

Not so randomly spotted my loaner. I like this color combo with grey turbines. I think I heard green is no longer available?
---as an update saw another MS nearby in New Hanover NJ. It was Brown!

Spotted on Lee Highway in Arlington VA. I'm pretty sure this was the same car I saw more than a year ago as my third "in the wild experience." It's still fun when people react when being spotted like these guys did. As discussed earlier, we are definitely getting much more prevalent and people don't seem to care to thumbs up or wave nearly as much as they used to. I wish I could have snagged a pic of three of us when we ended up together in a DC traffic circle last week. I saw 9 that day.

I still try to wave back if I see it. I am just not usually paying attention to the other cars around me like that. Although if I spot a Model S I generally try to flash em or wave or something. It has been about 50/50 for me getting a response back... And strangely every time a woman is driving I never have gotten a response

Ooh, did you get that from devon? We are getting a loaner this week. It'd be nice to not get the black 60. Maybe they sold that one end of Q3.

Nope this was Springfield. Devon was going to make me wait an extra week and not have a loaner. My travel worked out well and Springfield surprised me with this loaner.

Passed one on the way to work - on the north loop of beltway 8 heading towards 290, yesterday morning early. First one I've seen in months.

Black (pretty sure) on NB Stephenson near Maple at 9:08am. I think this is the 4th time I've seen that specific Model S, of 13 total. Their commute in the opposite direction seems to occasionally cross paths with mine.
On another note, winter arrived today by dumping a bunch of large snow flakes.

Yesterday, I saw a brown MS being unloaded from an enclosed 18 wheeler on the 95S on-ramp at exit 4 in Connecticut (Cos Cob exit).
My dashcam caught it, but I don't have the footage right now.
I doubt it was a new delivery, since those now happen at the service centers... I guess it was someone moving or buying a car and taking possession? I couldn't make out the license plate or model. But someone has a new toy!

Saw a Black MS in Michigan heading south on US 31. I was driving a borrowed Smart car heading North.
