Gorgeous electric blue Roadster (with Model S in the background). Los Altos, 3/10/15.

My wife has seen a yellow Roadster 3 times in the last week; each time she thought I was coming to check on her, but then realized it was another owner we know. Funny that she keeps running in to him. (He lives about 20 miles away).

I rarely see Roadsters in the wild, unless I'm meeting owners or driving past the guy down the street that has one. (The Model S is more popular; I think our neighborhood of ~60 houses has 5 of them).

In 4 years and 40k mi I have never seen another roadster in the wild. The nearest one is 85 miles away. Twice I've had other Roadster owners I didn't know introduce themselves when they saw my car but they weren't driving theirs that day.

@ChadS: Yeah, it's funny that she keeps running into him like that! :biggrin:

I don't know when this number of Roadsters will be together again. This was September 20, 2014 at the breaking of the Guinness World Record with 507 pure EVs in a parade lap in Cupertino, CA.

That model S has a nice shade of blue too!

There's a small chance we can change that, Henry!

My road trip in May will take me as far as Brattleboro (assuming I have my CANs back). I'm not planning to go further north on my way home, but we might be able to meet up.

That settles it. You're not getting your cans back unless you promise to come visit!:biggrin:

And I just saw him less than 2 weeks ago, as well. (At the Nikola Tesla STEM school, no less). Man, we should have moved farther away! This town ain't big enough for 2 yellow Roadsters.

In photo: ChadS, DaveD, tomsax, xytor, six, s2000, and a few people that I don't think are on these forums. (Tomsax manages a local email list).

What's the Tesla school?

Yes, that's the one.

Wikipedia has a page on it, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STEM_High_School

OK - in that case, I promise to visit.

 

[gregd]

Ok, so this isn't so random, from the Roadster's perspective. It's a picture of my Roadster, #834, next to a random Lotus I saw in the parking lot at work. I can't post this to the "look how small the Roadster looks" thread, as it appears that I've got a few inches on the Lotus.

Who says you can't win friends with blackmail? :biggrin:

This "very orange" was parked up at a Hotel, in TST, Hong Kong ....
Saw quite a few MS too, Hong Kong is ideal for tesla, (but some of the road cracks must give roadsters suspensions a damn good banging ! )

 

[Volta]

Yes, I can attest to that - they most certainly do
