guest Thanks, good tips. The odd part is that it looked right on the phone and on the computer. Next time...�
1/1/2015
guest Thanks for the pic's. For those of us who are far away from the factory we appreciate any and all, no matter the quality:biggrin:�
1/1/2015
guest I drove by the Telsa Store in Menlo Park late last night and noticed a black and a signature red Model S parked in the showroom. I'll be visiting the store today to check them out and will report back.�
1/1/2015
guest Sounds like the same two that made an appearance at the Google Earth Day event. Please report on the Red #65 in particular with the cloth interior.�
1/1/2015
guest Will do!�
1/1/2015
guest We visited the Santana Row (San Jose) store Sunday to check out the new beta. It really is a step up in fit and finish. However, while driving on Stevens Creek towards 85, a white Model S came out of Santana Row and onto Stevens Creek behind us. That's our second sighting in the "wild."�
1/1/2015
guest Hey there. Do you know which beta they have in Santana Row now? When I was there this weekend it was the "old" silver #29.�
1/1/2015
guest Off topic, but this is where the accelerometer can help (auto-rotating photos to the correct orientation).�
1/1/2015
guest We received a message Friday night that stated thatUnfortunately, I didn't check out the VIN.�
1/1/2015
guest Yeah, I got the same email, but once I (and goyogi - shout out) got there, we found out it was #29 and that marketing had been a bit over-zealous in sending out the email. Or that "new" meant "different from last week".�
1/1/2015
guest Darn, and for a moment there I was getting ready to plan a hike down to Santana Row, thanks for saving me a trip!!�
1/1/2015
guest Well, disclaimer: that was Saturday morning. Who knows what might have happened since then...�
1/1/2015
guest Probably the betas we've seen a few weeks ago were not meant to stay there. But now they have a resident beta which is newer than the resident one they had before (which might have been from last year). Or something like that.
EDIT: So which color/leather/trim combination does their current beta have?�
1/1/2015
guest If you happen by there and see an updated Model S, would you let me know please? I tend to stay around Menlo Park otherwise...
�
1/1/2015
guest Suuure... but I better post it at Model S Tour (Stores)) or I'll get the mods after me... since this about the "wild" Model Ss...�
1/1/2015
guest So true, you don't want to get on the Mods Dom's side!�
1/1/2015
guest Heyyyy!!
for the record, you guys are nearly a full-time job!�
1/1/2015
guest I wonder when one of our hackers is going to replace bonnie's avatar with the enforcer image.�
1/1/2015
guest We have ... hackers??
(You all know making me a mod was an example of Doug's twisted sense of humor. He was tired of how quickly I took things off track. Brilliant move, really. ... but as Nigel pointed out, I only have to behave on my assigned forums. Yay.)�

guest Photos - Google+
Thank you so much, what a beautiful car it is! :love:�
1/1/2015
guest Thanks for the photos. The color is really nice. But I can see a lot of alignment problems. Or it's just the photos fooling me ....�
1/1/2015
guest The initial photos use a Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 10-22mm 1:3.5-4.5 This lens causes distortion because it is so wide-angled. I normally use it to capture as much of a room as possible when shooting interior real estate shots. It was mounted on a Canon EOS Rebel T1i DSLR body.
Later close-up photos used a Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS (Image Stabilizer) lens mounted on the same body.

PS. Elon and team want to hear about any alignment problems you see so they can eliminate them. He said during the annual meeting he and the other founder's have already noticed over a 100 minor anomalies that "a normal customer wouldn't see". He worked with the staff over the past weekend to enumerate them and get them eliminated from non-insider customer car production.�
1/1/2015
guest Thank god it's not just me then�
1/1/2015
guest Wow that is a nice car. Even without the red the body is really appealing. I'm not a huge fan of red, but that shade is very nice.�
1/1/2015
guest "P85 Phase Current Amplification"??? What the heck is that? I'm an EE and I have no clue...�
1/1/2015
guest The most noticeable alignment problems I see is the chrome strips above the doors don't align (one strip higher than the other) with their neighboring strip; which probably means the doors themselves are not aligned correct either. Very noticeable on the driver's side panel photo. Not happy the gaps at the hatchback area where the panels adjoin, appears to have different gap widths between the different panel parts.�
1/1/2015
guest Very happy to hear about the attention to quality and thank you for the pic's!�
1/1/2015
guest I'm pretty sure P85 is some workout program but not sure about the rest:smile: When did they come up with this P85 thing? Looks like this first car is the first time they displayed it.�
1/1/2015
guest looks like there are definitely some body fit issues...really does not bother me though�
1/1/2015
guest Well, the front hood looks a bit like it isn't completely closed, for example on photo #9. But I've never looked that close at a car's gaps, so I'm not sure which precision to expect.�
1/1/2015
guest I'm not too surprised by the badge. Like every car company, they want to have a way to differentiate the battery packs, which in this case could be looked at as trim lines. If you spring for the 85kw battery, you obviously have a more expensive car, hence they badged it so people will know. I will take it off, along with the Model S badge. I prefer a cleaner look.�
1/1/2015
guest Thanks for the pics engle! Looks great.
I'd have to really put the car under a microscopic eye to notice the slight mis-alignments people are mentioning.
What I'm seeing so far is an awesome looking car and I hope it operates as well as it looks.�

guest Posted on Tesla's Facebook page. Apparently spotted in Burbank, CA

1/1/2015
guest Oooh, look! A Dodge Charger! :tongue:�
1/1/2015
guest I am not on Facebook.
What is that object on the car roof?
Same license plate as here.�
1/1/2015
guest Since it has manufacturer's plates it's assumed to just be a test car, so it's likely to be diagnostic equipment.�
1/1/2015
guest BTW, I checked in @ Tesla NY today on Foursquare. When I got home I clicked the link from my Facebook wall and found all the pics people have taken there. So foursquare is a good place to monitor for new pics. Here are some stores to watch:
Santana Row
Menlo Park
New York
Westchester, NY
Feel free to add onto the list
*edit* a few more:
Fashion Island
Newport Beach (not much here)
Los Angeles
...thinking on it, this is probably better in the "stores" thread.�
1/1/2015
guest Could be a GPS antenna on the roof...
Yes, manufacturer plates, so likely a test car.�
1/1/2015
guest Noticed the darkened tail lights, too.�
1/1/2015
guest Didn't notice that. Wonder if it's a performance or if that's just a dev thing. I did notice it has no Tesla T�
1/1/2015
guest I've only ever seen it on the performance version�

guest Anyone here expecting VIN #33?:
�
1/1/2015
guest Interesting. It's good to know they aren't biting their nails trying to roll out the first ten this week. Seems like they are on good traction.�
1/1/2015
guest I wondered, while viewing that pic, why the panels are two-toned?�
1/1/2015
guest I am pretty sure it's a protective cover to keep the workers from scratching it.�
1/1/2015
guest Looking at the first picture, that looks like tape over the paint .. not a different color paint.�
1/1/2015
guest But who's car is it.....?�
1/1/2015
guest Yes, fender covers for if/when they lean over the fender.�
1/1/2015
guest I believe it is one of the test drive cars.. "Tryout" on the top?�
1/1/2015
guest The white one in the pic above....VIN#33. Think you're looking at the green one.�
1/1/2015
guest Alameda Blvd W at Buena Vista. Between Disney and NBC studios (The Tonight show)�
1/1/2015
guest I saw my fist 'wild' S yesterday around 6:30 in SF on 19th Ave heading NB
of course I was coming down from Eureka for a test drive today SB and wanted to do an illegal U ... but I must say It was pretty going the other direction and the lights definitely stood out among all of the Benz's and Audis. I think it was the lady with the champagne bottle at the release party. Sig red with dark wheels - lookin good!
No, It wasn't her.
I think the guy(sorry) who made the funny video vin#10�
1/1/2015
guest Nancy Pflund had 19", so you saw someone else.�
1/1/2015
guest One of the model S's that were delivered yesterday spotted today at 2:40pm at El paseo de Saratoga shopping area here in Saratoga CA. Sig red, dark wheels. 6-series CA plate ended in '000'.
It looked great!. Can't wait to get mine!

Spotted this afternoon about to make a U-turn on Foothill at Arastradero.�
1/1/2015
guest No front license plate :wink:�
1/1/2015
guest Three weeks ago, I saw a silver beta on Highway 92 coming over the hill from Half Moon Bay. Found out later it was a friend of mine (a Tesla engineer) driving! Pretty neat.�
1/1/2015
guest "Sightings" are not sightings without pics....same as with UFO's.�
1/1/2015
guest While I admire the creativity you've all displayed, this thread is a place to capture ACTUAL sightings of Model S in the wild.
You can find your other posts over at Model S Fun w/PhotoShop.�

guest With trailer hitch?!:
�
1/1/2015
guest I believe that's a dyno fixture (so the car can be held fixed while it's tested on the dynamometer).�
1/1/2015
guest Funky shot.�
1/1/2015
guest Those instragram folks are geniuses. Create a product that makes good pictures look like crap and then sell the company for $$. Would make the underpants gnomes proud.�

�
1/1/2015
guest looks very long in that picture�
1/1/2015
guest Is that the Seattle delivery we heard was going to be made soon? I wonder if this means that more cars have been delivered?�
1/1/2015
guest No idea. I also cross-posted the picture over here: First delivery in Seattle area�
1/1/2015
guest Bummer that the image doesn't have any XML embedded with GPS coordinates.�
1/1/2015
guest No problem, TEG will identify the house with the distinctive white staircase rail in a minute and give you the address.�
1/1/2015
guest I tried a couple "reverse image searches" / "search by image". They pointed me to random pictures including some of female wrestling. Seems the algorithm needs some work.�

1/1/2015
guest @TEG - 101 in CA?
It looks like it has the Pano Roof so probably not #4.�
1/1/2015
guest Yep, #4 is up in Berkeley. Differnet wheels and no pano.
�
1/1/2015
guest Yes, Redwood City, 101 South. Not my photo.�
1/1/2015
guest Damn, Signature Red and the 19" wheels make a handsome combo.�
1/1/2015
guest An even better picture of Nancy Pfund's car (from the Forbes article):

guest Note to self: Never piss off TEG.�
1/1/2015
guest I feel a tiny bit violated he found it, and it's not even where I live. Ack!�
1/1/2015
guest Yikes! My jaw just dropped to the floor.�
1/1/2015
guest Nope, it was one of the Seattle Get-Amped tour cars. I gather the photographer happened upon them during the event.�
1/1/2015
guest Performance wheels but the lower bumper accent looks chrome.�
1/1/2015
guest Wow! I'm thoroughly impressed. :smile:�
1/1/2015
guest Hmm... the Model S was so long that it knocked the "Residential Street" sign down�
1/1/2015
guest Trick of the camera angle, I think. It was probably just off the right edge.
Here is the same street in winter:
Looks like the house was recently sold:
407 Raye Street, Seattle WA 98109 | MLS# 332043 | $549,950 | Conor MacEvilly�
1/1/2015
guest TEG, have to ask, how on earth were you able to find that?�
1/1/2015
guest You can run from TEG, but, you cannot hide! Reminds me of the movie 'Eagle Eye'�
1/1/2015
guest You can find all sorts of stuff with careful keyword search to Google & Bing.�
1/1/2015
guest Really? I must make a note of that :wink:�
1/1/2015
guest He is a secret agent working for the CIA...�
1/1/2015
guest I believe. Since you know the the truth is out there.�
1/1/2015
guest Having grown up in Washington state, and after living in Seattle for over a decade in the past, prior to the reveal by TEG I was originally hazarding a guess that the photo was taken somewhere on Queen Anne or perhaps Magnolia. But to be able to pinpoint the address? Yikes!�
1/1/2015
guest Hmm Think it also knocked down the small cypress by the little fence. Isn't photoshop a great thing!!!! unless of course said cypress was planted after or inversely taken out before.............�
1/1/2015
guest maybe its not even a cypress. just a cypress looking bush of other sort............�
1/1/2015
guest Lost in a sea of Roadsters, is Model S #10:
�
1/1/2015
guest yet another sighting. Sorry, but I couldn't stop to take photo as I was already late for work!
Black Model S at the bottom of Mount Hamilton Road in San Jose. Parked on the side of the road with the driver taking a photo of himself.
Sorry I just got a glimpse as I drove by...it was obviously a Model S by the DRL's.
Will try to get a photo next time!
cheers,

guest Love the jet black Roadster.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2�
1/1/2015
guest Umm, er... Jet black is a factory glossy/shiny paint that you could almost call "piano black".
The Roadster in the picture is a flat back non-stock finish by virtue of being wrapped in vinyl.
A forum member just bought it used from Louisiana and had it shipped over here to the SF bay area.
(I think there is an electric blue Roadster hiding under that wrap.)�
1/1/2015
guest Correct. Looking at it closely, the blue shows in a few places.�
1/1/2015
guest Right.
Whatever.

University Ave today in downtown Palo Alto. Sorry I didn't spend more time to grab better picture. As I passed by I noticed the driver was demonstrating to the person in the passenger seat.

1/1/2015
guest No apologies. Nice picture! (And hi, Arnold!�
1/1/2015
guest This may not be very uncommon, but I did see two Model S cars Wednesday evening, Aug 1. They were both driving the same direction on Arastradero in Palo Alto, going east bound. One was white and the other silver, I believe (it was dusk, so difficult to make out the actual color). Reason I say it may not be uncommon is that this happens to be near the Tesla Corporate offices (and the location of the Tesla Model S test drive in Palo Alto).�
1/1/2015
guest More than just "the corporate office". They have their primary engineering center there too.�
1/1/2015
guest I passed by a red S last Saturday on Altamont as I was descending on my other carbon fiber beauty. Sig red - gave it a big thumbs up.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw Founders' #28 on El Camino in Santa Clara today. Signature red performance with gray wheels.�
1/1/2015
guest I think we didn't even know #28 was delivered....�
1/1/2015
guest TEG has a spy satellite connected to Skynet.�
1/1/2015
guest Founders' #29 is delivered too...�
1/1/2015
guest
Model S in the wild, charging
last night apparently�
1/1/2015
guest That license plate reminds me of the 6000 SUX from Robocop.
Maybe the resolution isn't that great, but I had trouble seeing the adapter on the J1772 plug. Obviously it is there.�
1/1/2015
guest The license plate looks very similar to the ones on the cars at the Model S delivery event... I saw 000 and 001 in the video�
