guest Saw a multi coat red with temp tags in my neighborhood last week as I was on my way out to the office. I didn't stop, as I didn't want to be late, but now I can't remember which house it was parked in front of! If you live in Ft. Collins my model S wants to meet yours!�
1/1/2015
guest Saw my first one in the wild today, a white one on Hanover Ave in Randolph, NJ.....I was driving my ICE at the time (forgive me). Usually drive my red P85.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw a white one in Lahaina, Maui a few days ago, then again 2 days later. I figure it had to be the same one.�
1/1/2015
guest Here's a weird one: a Founder's car in my neighborhood...with no tags/plates yet. My first thought was, "Did a Founder skip out on his car last year and now finally decided he/she wanted one, so they went ahead and built it for him in Sig Red?"
But then I looked at the VIN, and this car clearly wasn't built recently:
So I'm not sure what the deal is here. Has this car just been sitting in Fremont all this time? Key component of the story: I'm 99% sure a Tesla engineer was driving this car, because several months ago a Beta car was parked in front of the same house.
Interesting!�

guest There is a Tesla Model S test drive event in the Hamptons this weekend, about a mile away from where I live! I stopped by to say hi...
My Blue P85 is on the left, and they have one white and two black Model S vehicles available to test drive.�

guest 
at in-n-out in oxnard, saw 2 of them, one with 21 greys, another with 19 silver, both black, complete head turner, everybody eating outside turned their attention to it when it pulled up, those DRL's are too nice, if you can see the guy in the bmw is checking it out in his side view mirror�

guest My wife spotted me in the wild:
�
1/1/2015
guest No, it's next door to the gas station, at an exotic car deal (which is almost as ironic
- - - Updated - - -
It is definitely a disheveled-looking location, not at all representative of the Hamptons. However, it is very visibly located right on Montauk Highway, so what it may lack in aesthetics, in gains in visibility. I stopped by to say Hi on Firday, and then bumped into the guys running it at a restaurant in Bridgehampton last night, and they said they have been very busy, even in the rain. And it's cold but sunny today, so I'm guessing that they will VERY busy today�

And now we have 3 Model S owners in our development. 122 homes, 3 Teslas.�
1/1/2015
guest BTW, can you tell the spots were apparently made for Leaf, Prius, Volt? Painted a bit short. :/
I submitted that feedback and they said they'd consider fixing it the next round of painting.�

guest Friend of ours with a kid in same school as our son spotted a new brown S at drop-off this morning at the school in the Leesville area of Raleigh, has a 60 badge he said.
�
1/1/2015
guest I saw this silver Model S on the road to my house. They live near where I do (I assume) as I have seen them maybe a half a dozen times. But this is the first time I got a picture. Second picture is further down the road with them in my mirror.
Not quite random. But my coworker got his Model S about 3 weeks ago. These pictures are from the first time they were seen together.
�
1/1/2015
guest Sort of the opposite of this point of this thread, but driving in SoHo near West Broadway and Spring and three guys in Tesla jackets took a picture of me in my green Model S. I'm hoping they are real estate shopping! Having a store or service center near the office would be great. Queen and the West Side just aren't all that convenient comparatively.�
1/1/2015
guest Heck no, always fun to see how bad some people's tastes are!�
1/1/2015
guest I live in Arlington, Va and saw my first S in my area on January 6th at a Starbucks in a strip mall--white. My husband saw a blonde lady in a black S in the same lot. Then I met an owner of a black 85 in our daycare lot as he was leaving Bank of America, not married to a blonde lady, so a second black S. A few weeks ago, I saw a blue S parked at a soccer field, equipped with jump seats (and juice boxes in the console). Last week, my husband saw a black S at our oldest's elementary school. And at USPTO during our Green Fair, a young Examiner was showing off his gray 60, alongside Leaf and Volt owners. My 40 is due to arrive in 16 days!�

1/1/2015
guest Spotted in a rest area in Denmark going north.
Looks like a new testdrive vehicle.. Perhaps also one hidden in the trailer?
(Update: Tesla CPH just confirmed that in the trailer they had a "rolling chassis" - not a car but the bottom of it for showroom in CPH)�
1/1/2015
guest From one Scandinavian to another... go Norway, go Denmark! (I'm a little of both)
Can't wait for you guys to have them everywhere.
That red looks awesome, btw.�
1/1/2015
guest Yes, an awesome Red color, however hot as awesome as the Signature Red..
Can't wait to have mine delivered. The waiting time is killing me - hopefully they will start to ship soon!
Have been told to expect delivery mid August.�

1/1/2015
guest Not exactly "random" because I took this myself while out shooting video with my P85 test car this week (I'm doing a review for the website I work at), but I loved this so much I wanted to share it. I didn't even notice the majestic bird that got in there until after I looked at the pic at home later!

guest Someone in The Netherlands spotted this trailer with 6 Model S heading towards the German border, and posted it on the website Autojunk.nl (junk as in junkie). No customer cars yet - we still have to wait 1-2 months - so probably demo's.

Here's another picture of the same trailer.

1/1/2015
guest First time parking right next to a Tesla Model S in Newport Beach today! Never been so close to a Model S in the wild before and I love the plate! And yes that is my gas guzzling 8-10 MPG SUV with 260,000 miles right next to it. I was sad that I actually had to unlock and start the car. Hoping my next car is a Tesla!
�
1/1/2015
guest (I know, "Photos or it didn't happen". Well, new phone and I haven't worked it out yet.)
So I commented to my wife last week that there are more Model S on the road than Roadsters, so it's a wonder we hadn't seen any. Then,
Keep 'em coming!
- Saturday: Right behind a white Model S with a Pano roof where IL 53 dumps us onto Lake-Cook Road.
- Sunday: As I'm turning through the T intersection of Rawson Bridge Road and Rawson Bridge Road (don't ask) into Cary, there's this freshly cleaned black Model S with temporary plates heading the opposite direction.
- Monday (today): This evening I'm turning onto Schank Ave from IL 176 near Mundelein, there's a beautiful Red S heading the opposite way. I'm pretty sure it was Signature Red.
�
1/1/2015
guest I drove my Model S 220 miles round trip last Thursday from Ventura, CA to Newport Beach, CA and back. I counted 23 Model S along the drive. Especially the 405 fwy and Hwy1 coast Hwy has lots of Model S.�
1/1/2015
guest Are these euro- or us- spec. ?�
1/1/2015
guest They look like US spec, the US license plate holders, and no apparent fog light on the diffuser area. Seems odd though, since if they are demos they could not be used on the road?
Potentially they are EU spec and the foglight is subtly built in, and the license plate holder is just decorative to be replaced with a Euro plate when the time comes.
Intriguing...�
1/1/2015
guest There are many US-specced demo cars on the roads here already, and have been since last year. I assume they need to be individually approved when they don't comply with EU regs, whereas the consumer cars will get type approval.
At any rate, 99% sure the cars in the pics are demo cars not consumer.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a Brown S on our way up to Evergreen Colorado Saturday and a white on in Evergreen the same day. Also a black one parked in Cherry Creek North, Denver, Colo. yesterday. Met two owners at the Denver Service Center today. One getting some service who may join us Saturday for the drive from Idaho Springs to the summit of Mt. Evans and back and one who was just taking delivery of an identical car to ours.
RNG�
1/1/2015
guest And you know they'll meet the emissions standards!�
1/1/2015
guest At least I have definitive information that the Model S type approval for Europe is complete (has been completed like one or two weeks ago).�
1/1/2015
guest Several sightings in the past few days.
Thursday 5/30 around 8am at the Milford South Supercharger, next to my blue a white S from MA was charging.
Sunday 6/2 around 5pm near exit 31 southbound on the Merritt Parkway saw a white S with NY plates - couldn't catch up before I needed to exit.
Tuesday 6/4 around 6pm at the Cambridge exit from the Mass Pike saw and then followed across the river a gray P85. First time in a multi-S convoy. Spoke briefly with the driver after pulling up alongside. She's had it for about a month.

1/1/2015
guest Out this afternoon for a bite and saw this gray MS up here in Rockville MD, so I had to park next to it for a pic. The funny part is that while snapping the pic a guy came up to me and started asking questions. While I was giving him the tour another guy and his wife stopped their car and he got out too. While finishing up with him a third guy walking by asked a couple of questions. I did a 15 minute show & tell in the parking lot. One of the guys literally laughed out loud when he asked to see what was under the hood and I showed him...
While this doesn't qualify as "random" as it was at the Service Center... it's not too often I get to park in a row worth a million dollars:
Finally, what the heck... the roadsters are too cool not to include:
�
1/1/2015
guest At the Green Vehicle parking area at SFO long-term parking garage this past Sunday. I joined 2 other Model S. mine is the black one on the right.
FYI, unlike the nice Chargepoint units in the short-term lots, these are just spots with 115v regular outlets (20a) behind each space. I suppose the thinking is that if you're parking at the LONG-TERM lot, you have time to trickle-charge it.�
1/1/2015
guest New white Model S being unloaded in downtown Chicago yesterday. Was right outside the Groupon headquarters, for what it's worth. (But it may have been destined for the Lamborghini dealership for some reason that was right there as well. )
�
1/1/2015
guest That is very smart having the 110 outlets for charging. Why spend money for charging stations when most long term parking only needs a simple 110 outlet. Bravo SFO! Wish more airports were this smart.�
1/1/2015
guest I see lots of them in Los Angeles, but this morning on the 405 I decided to get next to one & honk & give him a thumbs up, I was in my 1995 Chevy carpet cleaning van so he probably didn't expect someone like me appreciating a Tesla.
�
1/1/2015
guest Au contraire mon ami! I've had at least two DC bus drivers give me thumbs up and then ask "How much?" Yeah, DC traffic is as bad as LA so there are lots of opportunities for conversation when you're stopped ;-)�

1/1/2015
guest On last Saturday I saw a Signature Red Model S in Miramar West of I-75 with tinted windows and today I saw a young lady driving a white Model S with tinted windows on Coral Way and 132 Avenue in Miami.�
1/1/2015
guest He's totally right though. Roads are atrocious all around NJ. I "downgraded" the free P85 21s to 19s when I ordered because of this. It was a little hard to click a button to "give up" a free $3500 option, but it just had to be done...no choice around these parts unless I want blowouts every month. And for non-P85 owners (and new-P85 owners), it's just very hard to justify spending $3500 knowing that you'll probably spend another $1000/month for new tires. Well, that may be an exaggeration but probably not by much. Someone on these forums just said they blew out both their driver side 21s simultaneously on a pothole (dunno what state that was). Another recent post was someone who cracked 2 rims already in one month. So that's probably not much of an exaggeration for 21 low profiles around these parts.
Well $1000/month for new tires is probably what I'd be paying if I had 21s because I drive so hard on vehicles. Pot hole at 80mph? awesome. lol. Thanks NJ for not even maintaining highways in addition to local roads. On a related note, I actually barely missed a HUGE truck tire tread on NJT today at 85mph. Close call. I guess I shouldn't tailgate at those speeds either, haha.�
1/1/2015
guest that never seems to matter, unfortunately...�
1/1/2015
guest just saw a black model s with 19's drive down tierra rejada road. stopped at the light by the park. light turned green, car in the other lane continued its speed of around 45+ and in literally 3 seconds the model s was going faster than the car from a standstill! had my phone in my pocket, pulled it out quickly and dropped it in the grass and missed the moment lol but it was awesome :love:�
1/1/2015
guest
As a resident of NJ, I do agree with you. But they've been bad way back to DiFrancesco and before.�
1/1/2015
guest In the past two days I went from having seen one other Model S out on the road to three! I saw a dark (green?) one going over Ferry Street Bridge in Eugene around 6 and then a white one going North on I-5 this evening just south of Wilsonville.
I expect I'll see a few more tomorrow at the Portland get-together!
I gotta say, it's really quite exciting that I'm starting to see them around.�
1/1/2015
guest Yay for another sighting in Eugene! I have some friends down there, who I know would buy one in a heartbeat.
I saw three today around Lake Oswego.
Rumor has it the PDX metro area is on its way to having 300 on the roads. 5 were being prepped for delivery when I picked mine up two days ago.�

�
1/1/2015
guest The slow shutter speed makes it look like that S has some serious camber issues on the rear wheel!�
1/1/2015
guest Your right. That is a really odd effect. I don't think the shutter speed was particularly slow. The bicycle rider is not blurry nor is much of anything.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw someone with a blue Model S on rt 140 in Owings Mills MD, they turned into Home Depot behind us. I have also passed a white and a green model S on Walnut Rd. and Greenspring in Owings Mills. If Tesla stock keeps skyrocketing I'll be joining the club. If the stock tanks, so too do my dreams of owning a Model S.�

Also had my Brother send pictures of a Multi Coat Red in Salt Lake from a car show a few weeks ago. Really sad that I missed it. He is not a car person at all, and always gets bored at Family functions when I talk cars. He was very very impressed with the Model S.�

@Park2670 I thought it might be BrianW, I know he is down in Utah county.�

Not ours, ours is blue with ski Utah plates. You can see it here...

guest @Denarius - any update on your delivery window?
I know it is early, but I saw a semi loaded with Teslas on Wednesday afternoon as I was driving north on I-215.
I couldn't get a good photo in time since it got off onto the I-80 exit, but I was happy to see it.
Edit: oh, and +1 on the meet-up. Can I come even if I don't own a Tesla (yet)?�
1/1/2015
guest Don't have a specific date, but found out my car will be shipped to Denver, prepped there, then shipped to my house in a covered truck. I won't have a actual delivery date until the car is prepped in Denver.�

1/1/2015

1/1/2015
guest Tustin California, I have seen two just looking out my apartment window at the right time. Cars and Coffee always has at least 2. Hotel parking structure in Irvine had 2 parked side by side. Today I went to a large hospital center and took part in my new hobby, "Tesla hunting" and found just 3 in 5 minutes.
My Doctor saw my Tesla polo and said in order to purchase one he's waiting for all the bugs to get out of the system. Told him he could wait for the Model X if he doesn't want to be one of the early adopters. That got him to really thinking�

guest Did a staycation and stayed at the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa this past Friday night and parked at the one of the two chargers they have out in front. I was the only one there when I arrived but by nightfall there was another Model S parked in the second spot. I could not tell what color it was due to the night. It wasn't until the next morning I saw that it was a green 85 (I think) on silver 19s. I have also a green P85+ on grey wheels. Green seems to be the rarest color along with brown. Cool to finally see another green MS. On a side note, the Model S seemed like it was built to cruise through Napa Valley among those grape orchards in the warm sun, quietly and confidently with zero emissions.�

1/1/2015
guest Hey that's me right before I started getting multiple $50 parking tickets for backing into the PSU Electric Ave parking spots. Word of warning, those downtown meter maids have no sympathy for EV drivers who need a charge and are faced with a short cord.
Shout out to Doug C. for his support on this issue!�
1/1/2015

I'd fight that ticket, as I'd think you'd win in court/or via letter on sympathetic grounds. Challenge them to rewrite or clarify the law for the over zealous, money grubbing, (stupid) meter maids down there.�
