Spotted Model 3 in Coral Springs

[blackeducator]

Yesterday early afternoon (about 1:20pm) I spotted a Model 3 in Coral Springs turning off University near Ramblewood into the mall where Wholes Foods and Home Depot are. I assume it must be a second car for a Tesla Owner.... Sorry for the low rez quality. I took a quick photo of it.... I was not prepared to see it and did not follow it into the mall because I was running late.

There are other Model 3's in your area that are the only cars for some former Tesla owners.

Nice. I saw a red model 3 while dropping my kids off at school in Parkland (not the same school as the shooting), near Coral Springs as well. I was very surprised to see a model 3....especially red.

Hi JC,

These early Model 3 belong to either Tesla / SpaceX employees or owners who already have a Tesla. It has only been a few days since Tesla began inviting non-owners to configure their Model 3s and those invitations are likely to have been going to California reservation holders. Regardless, not enough time passed for that car to belong to a Florida non-previous owner.

There are of course situations whereby a Tesla / SpaceX employee purchased the car for a family member who never owned a Tesla before, but those situations are going to be rare occasions. The vast majority of these early Model 3s belong to Tesla / SpaceX employees or previous Tesla owners.

The ones tomwhich I referred were people who had owned Tesla when thevreserved but had subsequently sold them so the Model 3 is there only car. I encountered three such people in North Broward when I was last there.
