Random Roadster Sightings

[doug]

Elon spotted commuting in CA. Odd that P1 still has dealer plates. Also, it looks like the CHMSL isn't working. Though I suppose it's possible the brakes aren't actually on and the taillights are just lit from the headlights being on.

Every now and again I am reminded what a great looking car it is.

Electric Blue Roadster, likely VP9, in Half Moon Bay.

Missing Tesla logos on the wheels hubs... Falling off? Being stolen?

More likely not bothering to put them back on. They need to be removed when changing/balancing the tires.

Stalled?!? in the middle of the intersection of Sand Hill Road and Santa Cruz Ave.

Based on its proximity to San Carlos, I am assuming this is a VP, or even EP? Do we know if this is a production unit?

Additionally: were I to guess what would cause a Tesla to stall, I would assume something involving the firmware (over just running out of juice or something). Any other ideas?

I think I can make out a Founders' Series plate near the rear wheel, so that would mean it's a production car. Hard to know which one since Radiant Red appears to be a popular choice.

 

[malcolm]

Could be anything. Hard, Firm or Software.

Is it possible to push the car when in neutral or is it tow only?

 

[doug]

I should mention that the spirit of this thread is Roadsters out in the wild. So a car parked at a Tesla store or at the factory, or on display at an auto show, doesn't really count. Also the preference is for pictures not found elsewhere on this site.

F00013?

Black Roadster with reddish stripes, spotted in San Francisco at an Obama rally.

 

[graham]

So do we think that this was F013?

Did the stripes turn out more red than pink?

I think it probably is F013 since there are only so many cars out there. But it's hard to tell about the stripes in that photo.

Try Mercy & Bryant street in Downtown Mountain View...

That front plate is a crime!

I would rather have the ticket.

Agreed.

None of my two seaters have ever had a front plate and neither will my Tesla. No tickets...yet, knock wood.

Martin's car spotted in (what I'm sure this time :wink: is) downtown Palo Alto. Parked next to the Apple store at Kipling and University.
