A friend of mine sent me a text last evening (around 5:00ish) that he saw a red Roadster with temporary tags on Illinois Route 120. He didn't say where, but I'm guessing around Hunt Club Road. He also said it wasn't close enough to get a good photo.

Anyone we know? I don't usually drive that route home, but I think I'll start.

"Die neuen Elektro-Tanksäulen" translates as "The new electric-gas-pump"......:wink:

 

[NigelM]

Wall phrase translation: "E.ON Power station. We bring renewable energy to the street."

Not a good translation. I was highlighting that it was funny as some languages have a hard time creating new words. "Strom" means current (as in electrical), "Tankstelle" is a gas station. E.ON is a utility company but even they have a hard time moving away from oil/gas/ICE based terminology.....

..."Gas pedal"...
..."Fuel filler door"...
..."Pump handle"...
..."Tank up"...
Old habits.

 

[PopSmith]

..."Torque pedal"...
..."Charge-port door"...
..."Plug(?)"...
..."Recharge"...
New habits.

The Merc Bus has white letters "ARRIVA" on its front.

Arriva London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plus some pedestrians have quite Mediterranean looks.

We have all sorts of people in the UK too...

So I'd say it is Italy

It's Trafalgar Square, London, taken from the top of Whitehall looking towards the Strand. The tube station TEG pointed out is Charing Cross.

Look more closely at the bus. Where is the driver?

 

[VolkerP]

You're completely right. I stand corrected. The video from DrTaras explains it all.

BTW isn't it great to see folks of all sorts in every country of Europe (uh, the continent and UK)? I take it as indication of an open society...

I noticed that on the Tesla Munich photo collection.
Listed as "Community Event 2011 in Kesselberg".

 

[Eberhard]

that was, when "Poldi" wanted a new record with his e-mini against the Stuck brother with tesla Roadster (the green ROC Roadster), but at his 3rd run he demolish his differential gear leaving oil at the track. prohibiting the 2nd run of the Stuckies.
My Roadster is the yellow one in the middle.

Going north on I-95 a couple of miles north of where it crosses I-90 on Friday morning:

Anyone we know? Cinergi perhaps?

BTW, that's the first EV (never mind Tesla Roadster) I've ever seen "in the wild". I was quite excited to say the least :biggrin:. I'm just glad I didn't drop my camera :smile:.

One of the final batch with 'special' stripes:

(I wonder if that is 'Atomic Red'?)

That one really looks like it has a big black plug logo on it.

A plug logo:

Exactly what I was thinking.

The 150 thousand dollar version of that one.

My Fusion Red looks very close to, if not exactly like, that when it's clean (i.e., rarely) and in the right light. But maybe that car is a better red, i.e., looking like ideal conditions Fusion Red, in non-ideal conditions.
