I parked in a parking lot in my normal position, on the end, edge of the space, backed in, and I came back to find a friendly Fusion Red Roadster alongside. VIN SFZRE11B681000005. TEG, which car is this? I was in Torrance.

Was downtown at Santana Row on Friday and took advantage of Tesla's free charging stations and spotted this silver roadster with a light blue mismatched color hardtop. When I was pulling out, two model S's were pulling in (Tesla Employees) and the silver roadster moved to allow them in the charging stations. Was an older guy in the roadster with a beard, possibly a Tesla worker... don't know. Really don't like the planter boxes there, someone's going to do some good damage to their Tesla with those things there... way to low and hard to see when pulling in / out of the charging stations. While I was leaving I swapped out my soft-top for the Taylor Mesh Top and the Telsa Employee took notice and had a big smile on his face giving compliments :)

The owner had crashed his old Tesla and got the new silver one - he kept the roof of his old car so that's why the color is mismatched.

Absolutely spotless in Los Gatos, California ...

I think that has a custom (non Tesla) "blackberry" (red sparkles under black) paintjob.
I think the owner may own a bodyshop...

I took this picture of it once long ago:

Most of the time it just looks black, but when the sun hits it just right...
