Random Model X sightings

[FlatSix911]

In another "only in the bay area" moment, this morning on the 92 I had a BMW i8 in front of me, a Model X behind, and on the other side a red facelift Model S. My car was the beater in the group

Ha, happens all the time on Hwy 280

I have an easy resolution for you...sorry, couldn't resist

You think? I would have said the i8 was the beater.

There are a bunch at the service center in Scottsdale. Not mine yet

But I saw this in Scottsdale AZ this morning during my commute going south on Hayden Rd. It was moving pretty good until it caught up to the police car at the light...

The very early Model Ss had no badge on the right side of the trunk. I think they started putting the badges on around regular production car 1000 or 2000. I don't believe any of the sigs had it.

My model s 5733 had no badge. They didn't start badidging till months after that. Liked it like that

Finally! Saw my first confirmed model X (not just a maybe). To get a good look at it I followed it for a while. He was driving very aggressively, LOL! And I'm pretty sure it had no license plate for some reason. This dawned on me after the fact, which is why I'm not sure.

Anyhow, it was much smaller than my Jeep, and much smaller than a pick-up truck or most SUVs. I had wondered about its size much earlier in this thread.

Mission accomplished as far as sightings go.

But man, slow down!

Much smaller than a Jeep??! I have test driven and seen X's up close multiple times, I beg to differ. It's a big car, albeit not as big as a full size SUV.

If you think you're Jeep is larger, it's an illusion. It may be because the Model X has lower drag styling which rounds off the ends more than Jeeps which are mostly square and boxy.

The biggest Jeep is the Grand Cherokee
Length - 189.8 inches
Wheelbase - 114.8 inches
Width - 76.5 inches (without mirrors)

Model X:
Length - 198.3 inches
Wheelbase - 116.7 inches
Width - 81.5 inches (mirrors folded)

Either that or you have some older Jeep model that is bigger than the current Grand Cherokee.

I'm up to 4 Model X sightings in Austin now and I know we have about 75-100 in the area

I drove from Santa Cruz toLos gatos (one way was over highway ( so low volume). I was in my X and saw 5(!) others.Wow

I drove my X 350 miles the other day and didn't see one. I took my wife's car the next morning for a 5 mile drive and saw 2... That's been my luck.

Well, this is strange I think!

I was in Greenwich, CT today getting my iPhone fixed, and I parked in a lot for Richards, an *very* upscale men's clothing store on Greenwich Ave. My Model S is getting Autoflexed today, so I didn't have my Tesla, but upon returning to the parking lot, I saw this right in front:

Sorry for the over-exposure -- I was blocking exiting lot traffic to get the photo... and as I turned around to get out of the way, there was a THIRD Model X in silver/grey right behind me! I held up three fingers to the driver and shrugged in a "WTF" way.

There are TONS of Model Ss in Greenwich, I see several every day of the week (not that many Tesla waves around here ). But to see three Model Xs in the same parking lot was a bit of a surprise to me. Also neat that they were White, Grey, and Black.

Also to note there was another Grey Model S in the same lot.

I just saw a trio of Xs in Marina del Rey driving in a little convoy. White, Midnight Silver and Obsidian.
I was too busy watching and wondering what they were doing.....to snap a pic. No grins or nods to me so I think they were robot drivers. LOL

My second Model X spot, this one was in a local sporting goods parking lot.

 

[cranker2k]

Driving in southern Fremont (Mission San Jose area - 10 minutes to Tesla plant), I see an average of 2 Model X each day.

Today my family drove back from Los Angeles to SF Bay Area, and I saw 3 trucks on I-5 south, each within 1 hour apart. The first truck had couple of Model S and the rest are all Model X. The second and third truck are all Model X as far as I can see travelling on the opposite side of the freeway! So it looked like many deliveries to Southern California.

I've also seen a white X charging at the Harris Ranch station along with 3 Model S.

On I5 near Mt Shasta - I think 3 white and 1 blue Xs and 2 white Ss

What's the Tesla wave? I'm familiar with the nod, but not the wave.

No, I was holding up three fingers in a "wow, three Model X's right here, right now??!?!?!" kind of way. He saw me taking the photo, and probably thought I was just a Tesla obsessed commoner and not a Tesla owner. I wasn't taking a photo of the rare Model X, I was taking a photo of TWO Model X's parked right next to each other for this thread.

The white X with Black 22's could be mine! Awaiting delivery in Portland...

 

[f-stop]

Last week I was at the local Tesla store and saw quite a few Model X in the parkade awaiting delivery and/or test drives. I guess those don't really count as "random" sightings, but today I spotted my first X driving around here in town and exchanged waves with its driver - a beautiful deep blue X. The screenshot from my dashcam doesn't do it justice but it really looked gorgeous in person
