Sprediletto, that was a good catch.

Front and rear, innit?First time I saw a HOV sticker on the front. Eww.
Nope. Two large ones on the rear sides and one on the rear. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=811&d=1279297496Front and rear, innit?
Had the pleasure of meeting Bill, the owner of Roadster #48 on on Thanksgiving Day while on a family trip to Fresno.
We were driving along in our Highlander Hybrid (there were four of us—the one limitation that prevents using the Roadster—until the model S comes out next year that is), and saw what looked amazingly like a Roadster up ahead. So I gunned the Beast (as we semi-lovingly call the Highlander) and caught up. My wife yelled out the window to him “What number are you??” She figured that would clue him in we actually knew a thing or two about Roadsters.
Well, Bill seemed pleased to meet some fellow owners. Apparently he’s the only Roadster owner in the area. He pulled over and we compared notes and talked about EV life for a bit. I’m pleased to say I was able to fill him in on a few things he didn’t know since he bought it used and didn’t get the official tour from the dealer (although I’m sure they’d be happy to give it to you if you are near one sometime Bill!). With his permission I’m posting a couple photos here and emailing him to invite him to come join the discussion.
And Bill, I must complement you on the color choice of Midnight Blue which just happens to be exactly the same as Roadster #913 (which happens to belong to the author).

Well, if you count the Founders' too, then you might want to talk "First 127" since we have 27 Founders' and 100 Sig 100s.
Do you count the VPs too? (Some of them were eventually sold to customers.) And the EPs? (I don't think any of those are in private hands, and many have been decomissioned.)
By the way, for what it is worth, I have no intention of trying to keep track of Model S production.
I drive VP27 every day. Closing in on 40,000 miles on the odometer.
