Random Model X sightings

[Joel]

Earlier this week, I saw a white Model X charging at the Ann Arbor, MI supercharger. It was a Founder's edition with a VIN below 100. It had MI (not CA) manufacturer plates. I wonder if a Detroit 3 manufacturer managed to somehow pull off a straw purchase from someone in the referral program:

Ford Motor Company owns this Model X. Last Saturday, I ran into the driver at a local car gathering in Royal Oak, Michigan. The driver is a Senior employee at Ford. He said Ford owns it, and he is driving it. He (and his family) love the Model X, and he had no problems with any of the new features (Falcon Wing Doors, self actuating doors, etc.). He was very complimentary of Tesla in general. I was surprised to find out that Ford had a Founders car (VIN 64). Perhaps Ford bought it from a Founder or Elon and Mark have a closer relationship than the general public is aware.

I am comfortable sharing the photo and the interaction because this was a very public get together (a "cars and coffee" type event) were many auto enthusiasts photograph and discuss their cars. Anyone interested, should stop by: Saturday Mornings between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM at the corner of Woodward Avenue and 14 Mile - Royal Oak, Michigan.

There was a double X sighting this morning on I-5 - me in my X (90D Midnight Silver) and another X (P90DL Midnight Silver). It was meta

I could see the other driver take a picture of my car when he was behind me.

Saw a blue P90D at Earth Day event in Santa Barbara on display but with "private vehicle, don't touch" notices. TM was not on the exhibitor list for the event so I guess it's an owner's own vehicle. Drew a lot more attention than all other "alternative energy cars" on at the event.

Are you sure it wasn't the double vision through the windshield issue?

Yep, that was the VIN! Thanks for the update!

Following up some more about Founder's VIN 64: Elon Musk just tweeted about it! Apparently, a coin and jewelry dealer in CA got the car through the referral program, flew to Chicago to take delivery and immediately flipped it to Ford Motor Company for over $50k profit.

I thought his tweet was hilarious: "Looks like Model X resale value is holding up well "

Nice license plate!

I just received this license plate for my sexy looking Model X. I must say, thank you DMV!

S first, now the X, and Model 3 (E) is next. Maybe a Y in the distant future, who knows?

Encinitas and the surrounding area has so many EVs, you'd think the revolution had already happened. Yet it wasn't until March (11) that we saw this white Model X coming up behind us.

Keep an eye out for my Midnight Silver X. It's frequently waved at along PCH....

I saw a black MX turning into Ridge Valley from Irvine blvd a couple days ago. Last night (9:30), I saw a white MX turn from Jeffery Road to Portola Parkway. Any of you guys?

There's an X waiting at the landing zone for Solar Impulse at Moffat Field in San Jose. I just noticed it in the live feed. Solar Impulse - Around the world to promote clean technologies

Wasn't that Sergey Brin's car? He was there. Could not really see in the video very well at 21:00.

So I just saw (or noticed) my first Model X a few weeks ago (and posted the pic here) and now I am seeing them at least several times a week...even saw one today I didn't take a pic of.
The first row are all the same one and bottom 3 are just a few the ones I've seen around LA, Santa Monica and Westwood

black one could be me. I am almost every day around Irvine... I am solid black 90D, no plates yet...

Okay, the next time I see your X. I will open the window and yell "sunshade"!

So this may seem that I'm late to the party, but this is actually the *first* Model X I've spotted "in the wild" in New York City (i.e., not at the "Meet Model X" events in Manhattan and Syosset).

It was a lovely Titanium Metallic P90D with 22" Onyx Wheels parked across the street from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. It was just sitting there minding its own business all day with narry an interested party to snap a pic. I think it was lonely. I hope I cheered it up a bit by giving it some attention.

Also, in this setting, it became clear to me that the Model X would make an excellent NYC Yellow Cab. Seating for 6 or 7 people plus plenty of luggage space and zero tailpipe emissions. How cool would that be?

(BTW, K-MTG, there was no visible sunshade, sorry)
