Random Roadster Sightings

[Roadster]

Adding a few from REFUEL 2017 as pulled from the TMC Connect photo archive mentioned here (photos by Christine Bjerke). Do any of you who participated have video footage from either in-car or trackside? Something similar to this amazingly hypnotic sounding ZEV bike vid would be ideal

EDIT: Wait... found one. Nice to see a Roadster being run flat out even though it gets overtaken after the Corkscrew at Turn 9 before the end of the first lap.

Went to a "Drive Electric Week" event in Grapevine, TX today and got to see #83 (edit: I think I was mistaken on that number as 83 is orange... sorry! ). Did not get to meet the owner but it was very cool to see one of the first 100! Really fun event, props to the Sierra Club and Tesla Owners Club of North Texas.

Went to a "Drive Electric Week" event in Grapevine, TX today and got to see #83.

Are you sure that was #83? #83 was originally Orange.

( I think #83 went Texas->California->Wisconsin... )

I am going to make an educated guess that you saw #87...
( CaliforniaPaul -> TexasSteve... )

Are you sure that was #83? #83 was originally Orange. Maybe it was repainted to Signature Green?

( I think #83 went Texas->California->Wisconsin... Did it go back to Texas again? )

TEG, good catch. I just noticed that in another post and was about to edit mine. I bet I was mistaken... I am certain it was eighty-something (edit: hell, don't even quote me on that at this point lol)

I think it was #87 you saw. Looks like fun! Glad to see it is in great condition and being shown off !

It was beautiful and very neat to see the Signature Plaque between the seats!

The Model X next to it was showing off the Christmas easter egg and the owner of the Model S on the other side was using the Summon feature to mess with folks. Between the 3 of them it drew a heck of a crowd and was a lot of fun! We had 150+ EV's at Grapevine Mills Mall today for the event, it was awesome

Yep! That's @stevejust's beautiful Sig 87!!! Wish I'd been in town to attend this awesome event.

I may even have a paint correction & detailing date with VIN 87 soon if Steve lets me. *fingers crossed*

I was told about this on a colleague's jogging route. Anyone here?

Kind of the inverse, but check out my photo here: Pictures of production Model 3s

I waved to a dark blue(?) Roadster heading into the Westbound I-10 to Northbound I-5 interchange in Los Angeles around 11:00AM this morning (November 7) from my Glacier Blue Roadster. They waved back. Unfortunately, I didn't have my dashcam on. That's only the third time I think I've ever seen a Roadster on the road...

Here is a BRG with plate close to yours:

No carpool stickers... Looks like the same wheels...

what are the rear tires?

 

[TEG]

Those are the Yokohama A048 LTS they offered on the Sport models for a while.

They were extra sticky summer high performance tires.
I think they tended to wear out rather quickly.

Thanks very much indeed

Also they were incredibly noisy.

Parked next to this 1.5 yesterday at my gym, San Mateo Athletic Club. Have been going there since it opened about 6 years ago and have never seen another Roadster there. When I came back after my workout it was gone.

That used to be "TESLAAA"

Seen near the Apple Infinite Loop campus on 12/12/17. This is one I don't recall having seen before.

Really weird. ALL the Roadsters on this page have their tops on! Mine NEVER has a top on unless it is pouring rain! And rain doesn't happen in Santa Barbara any more!

No wonder it never rains... Put your top on and give some relief to the suffering residents of Santa Barbara!
