Just had my best sighting ever! :biggrin:
This was at 5pm, as I was leaving day 1 of Android certification training at the office of a contractor I work with. Next to I-75, south of Maple. Could this be the same black one I keep seeing in the area? This is the first one that I not only had the opportunity to take a non-dashcam picture, but that I could stare at as long as I desired (to avoid being creepy, not long). Mine is the one on the other side of the grass.
Looks like this is, of course, the car of funtech on TMC, who is also in the Michigan club. Congrats on making it to the sightings thread!

I wasn't originally parked there, but noticed your car when I pulled out and turned that direction. Just had to jump to that spot and get a pic. I'll be going for that spot from now on for the rest of the training (Thursdays 1-5), so you can get your own pic of our cars.
Already replied to the name question in PM, but since you asked in public...
Not my photo but...

Saw my seventh Tesla this last Sunday – a white or possibly pearl white Models S. Around threeish in the vicinity of Jägersro (a part of Malmö in the south of Sweden). We met in opposite lanes. Was driving at work and having a somewhat heated discussion with a co-worker in the passenger seat, so I didn't get any more details.

A relative of mine in Kentucky told me he was once told "you have the right of way, if you can make it" when he was being taught to drive 30 some odd years ago. No joke. Not a lot of traffic through them parts back then I reckon.

Over 20 months of ownership, RANDOM sightings of other Teslas in my neck of the woods averaged once a month until 3 or 4 months ago. Then, I started seeing them about once every couple of weeks. Over the last 4 days, I spotted 3 - all on A1A. Don't know if they were locals, visitors or just passing through, but boy, we're getting crowded around here.

Passed what may very well have been this car again this evening in Ithaca. I didn't get a much better look at it this time, but I think it is grey metallic. It was headed into downtown Ithaca, travelling north on Route 96B, at around 7:10 PM. We were again, not driving the Model S, and I again could not convince my wife to turn around so we could attempt to get a better look and see the badge.
My daughter may have seen this car last Friday, up near the Cornell campus. She called to tell me about it. She thought it was black, but wasn't sure. (The grey metallic is pretty dark.)

Saw a Grey P85D yesterday in Columbus, Ohio. I was in my Roadster driving in the right lane of the highway. The Model S passes me. I don' think the owner even knew I was in a Tesla too as they did not acknowledge me. Would have been fun to compare the acceleration of the cars.

Saw this at almost exactly the same time and place as the one I saw on Oct. 12. No doubt the same one.

Mobius. It's great for the price. Though, what sold me to it was its support for OTG connection on Android, so may not be worth it if you don't have an Android phone.

Last one for the month. This was on WB Walton, just east of Livernois. I only take that road when I need to carpool my brother. In this case, his Ford Explorer was in the shop since Wednesday and he finally got it back today. He wants a Tesla so he doesn't have to deal with all the maintenance.
Walking on my way to work this morning I spotted this white Model S in Victoria Street Potts Point, Sydney Australia.
Starting to see one or 2 a week, apart from my own, which is encouraging.

Was behind this beauty Friday on 38th ave in St Pete.
Today I found this next to me (mine is the one with the door open, since I hopped out to grab a pic real fast) when I came out of Fresh Market on Henderson in Tampa
