guest Saw a nice grey MS while driving into Chicago. I hardly ever go into Chicago.
�
1/1/2015
guest I just saw a Black Model S with grey 21 inch wheels near the Miami Dade County School Board Administration building.�
1/1/2015
guest 
My RED plus two more at the Folsom Super Charge Station :smile:�
1/1/2015
guest I'm not sure if this counts as me sighting someone else or someone else sighting me. No picture, but:
I was getting out of my car and a guy in a car paused by my parking spot said "Nice car" with an odd grin. I said, "Oh, thanks!" and grinned. As I walked towards the credit union, I noticed him driving around the row of cars and turning towards an exit, and realized I'm an oblivious moron--he was driving a Model S, too! I waved--not sure if he saw me in his rear-view mirror or not.
I think I win oblivious owner of the year or something. . . . ;-)�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a black with gray 21s today. Didn't see a plate so it's new. Union Park ave in Midvale, Utah this afternoon.�

guest Cool! My neck of the woods!

1/1/2015
guest I saw a Dark Color (Black) Model S going East on Madison Ave. Cresskill NJ at about 11:45 AM on Sunday the 30th. I blew the horn at you from a SUV going West near the Cresskill fire dept. I had something else on my mind or I would have opened the window and gave you thumbs up.�
1/1/2015
guest Wait - thats MY driveway! Another Tesla!! :smile:
bluetinc (from MD) was in the area visiting family and needed a charge, so I told him to stop on by!
We Model S owners always stick together!

guest Saw a MC Red S85 in Goodyear, AZ today at McDowell and Bullard.
No plates. Must be a new delivery.
First one I have spotted on west side of Phoenix except for Rolfs'.�
1/1/2015
guest Hi to the MC Red spotted on Old Georgetown Pike in Great Falls before 1P today. Unfortunately I was driving my wife's Odyssey at the time; that would have been a much nicer drive in the MS.�
1/1/2015
guest Today on my way to a job interview a multi coat red caught up with me. My first time seeing a model S in person!!!
it was awesome, I tried keeping up with him but he got away from me( probably thought I was a creep after seeing me stumble for my phone, lol)
�
1/1/2015
guest My wife and I saw the this beauty near 595 and pine island road on Saturday.
�
1/1/2015
guest Who was that white Model S I danced with on the Mass Pike today?

guest Let me guess...
A busload of Yahoo Executives are going to court and their lawyer is Ampped about how much money she's about to make defending them?�
1/1/2015
guest OK, I see on average 5 per day around here, but the license plate was worth sharing...
�
1/1/2015
guest This morning sitting in traffic on 405 & 101, its pretty tough seeing a Tesla while I am sitting in my work van.
�

Orillia, Canada. Love the license plate!�
1/1/2015
guest My sister spotted a few model S's on her way to and around San Diego
�
1/1/2015
guest I passed a dark Model S last night on the 55 South right by the 405 interchange. Had to give a thumbs up it was in the carpool lane.�
1/1/2015
guest Me too :wink:�
1/1/2015
guest Ok so this isn't really a random sighting. It is my coworker, on the offramp where we work. But I received/gave a thumbs up to a S4 on the interstate. Who also got off on this exit. And he gave me a really puzzled look at the next light. I told him we work together, and I helped convince my coworker to take the leap.
�
1/1/2015
guest Saw this on the way home yesterday in Southborough and Framingham, MA.
I've never been behind/beside a Model S besides our Sunday drive in May (when I was one of 13 Model S's).
Caught up, gave him a big wave and passed...
�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a 60 from Washington charging at the regular public charging station here in Vacaville over the weekend. I would have offered the use of my hpwc, but the owner wasn't around. I think a 60 making it all the way from Washington shows you can road trip quite well in this car. I also realized how useful a supercharger in this area would be with the 505 and 80 coming together.�
1/1/2015
guest A white S joined me at the Omni Hotel in Richmond VA last Saturday.
(As an aside, the Chevy Volt behind me is a buddy's.. he also used the charge station there...)
�
1/1/2015
guest That parking spot looks eerily familiar! :wink:
Was wondering about the excessive depth of the parking spot closest to the entrance ramp, this picture definitely shows how it can fit two cars!�
1/1/2015
guest I saw a black Model S from a distance this week in MD. They were crossing Greenspring Ave from Heneson Garth to Worthington Rd.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw a Model S on I-190 in Plano, TX this morning. The driver took the Jupiter road exit and turned south.
�
1/1/2015
guest Just spotted this beauty charging at North Hills Mall.
�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a Silver S in Edgewater, NJ on River Rd going southbound at about 8:20 this evening while I was going northbound. The headlights caught my eye.�
1/1/2015
guest Nice! In know that exact spot, right outside of REI.�
1/1/2015
guest Wow, it's really interesting to see that ALL NJ residents chose the 19" wheels. Says a lot about the NJ road system. It's amazing how good the car looks on 19"'s Having never seen them I opted for the 21"s but the 19's look very well balanced with the car. Greetings from Miami.�
1/1/2015
guest Actually, within ten minutes of take that pic, I saw 3 more (another white, then black, then red). They are getting pretty popular around here. :smile:�
1/1/2015
guest Seen outside a Swim Lessons pool in PG Utah.�
1/1/2015
guest I got the 21s. Probably wont drive this car during the winter though.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw my first "in-the-wild" Model S over the weekend. It was on the 6th of July in downtown Austin, TX (around 5th street, close to the Convention Center). It was white w/21" Grey Wheels. :love: I didn't have time for a picture since the next light was green and I was on foot.�
1/1/2015
guest On Wilshire blvd next to Beverly Hills Hotel saw a blue at the 76 gas station...attendant was filling the tires with air :-D�
1/1/2015
guest I got the 19s because they're easier to clean!!�
1/1/2015
guest Just saw a beautiful whtie 85 at the south premium outlets in Vegas. Not sure if it was a S or P. Had the CF spoiler and 21" sliver rims. If you are on here, very nice ride. Pretty similar to what I have on order.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw another Blue Metallic like mine one lane over heading Westbound to the 267 Toll Rd. yesterday. Good looking car if I do say so myself�
1/1/2015
guest Check out the wheels on this one I saw at Teslive...
�
1/1/2015
guest Heeey... is that one of those battery cars? Who makes that? ;-)�
1/1/2015
guest Had my first 3 Tesla sighting day in the Northern Virginia/MD/DC Metro area.
- First a blue (maybe black?) traveling SB on GW parkway around 8:30
- Next a white P85 / 21" wheels with DC plates (see below) exiting the inner loop of the beltway onto Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda (you cut me off if you're reading this) (8:40ish)
- Finally, a brown w/ brown roof heading toward Rockville Pike on Old Georgetown Road (around 1:30). The brown is sharp...
�
1/1/2015
guest I just saw a Black Model S going south on Flamingo with tints and grey 21s in this awful South Florida weather.�
1/1/2015
guest Stuart Little?
it has semi-Translucent paint job too!
way smaller than a Roadster...genIII? ;>�
1/1/2015
guest Nice, I've seen the prototype video from the factory last year. Is there a thread with pics and video of the final 'product'? [Mods, feel free to move post to relevant thread]�
1/1/2015
guest Visiting Sunnyvale this week on business, I can see why there should be a separate thread for CA sightings, a Model S is about as common as a Prius around here! :tongue:
Saw two white (one 85, one 60) in the same parking garage near the Tied House in Mountain View at dinner time last night, then today saw three of various colors on the very short (3mi?) drive from Moffett Towers area to hotel!�
1/1/2015
guest Were you around 237 at all today? I pulled onto the freeway directly behind a nice white MS in the morning, and then was passed about two minutes later by a dark colored one in the carpool lane. Then coming home this evening, two separate grey examples passed me in the carpool lane coming back the other direction.
Making me wish my plates would get here, so I can apply for the little white stickers myself.�
1/1/2015
guest Well, my Model S is back home in Raleigh NC; I'm motoring around in a Ford Focus this week.�
1/1/2015
guest Had a lunch meeting today at Hall Street Grill. Afterwards spotted across Hall Blvd. another S, so I stopped in to take a pic. Same config as mine, except blue.
I wonder if I know this person? Think
I've seen this plate before at one of our local get togethers already. Just can't put my finger on who.�
1/1/2015
guest Dashcam caught this one I saw on the way to Gilroy:
�
1/1/2015
guest Greg,
A couple of weeks ago I took a similar shot very near that location (at Pepita's Mexican Restaurant) with my car next to a another blue (or black) MS (it was a P85.) Different license plate number than the one in your picture. I need to get around to uploading it somewhere.�
1/1/2015
guest Yep, that's where I get off 237 to get on Mathilda. Some people are very dense when it comes to blocking that intersection, and the timing on the lights doesn't help. I probably would have done the same thing, "naughty" though it may be.
Had a crazy drive home from dinner last night in Los Altos - saw fully 6 other MSes within five minutes of leaving the restaurant. One driving out of the opposite parking lot, one on main street, and four parked at businesses heading out of town. My two passengers enjoyed a fun game of Spot the Tesla.�
1/1/2015
guest Sometimes you have to entertain yourself ....
Was pulling up to the light and I spy a Black Model S .....
I pull up next to him.... roll my window down and get his attention...
ME: "Man that is one nice car!"
HIM: "Oh thank you, its a Tesla Model S"
ME: "Does it look familiar?"
HIM: "Doooh! "�
1/1/2015
guest As I mentioned, here is another blue MS parked next to mine at a Mexican restaurant. (Mine has the temp registration.)
�
1/1/2015
guest On an unrelated note, how was the Mexican food in OR? I went to Portland to sign my paperwork, and found how much the city has to offer. Plan to go back when possible.�
1/1/2015
guest We go to this place (Pepita's in Beaverton) almost every Friday. I love the chicken mole burrito. Other places we like are El sol de Mexico in Tigard and Chez Jose in Portland. There are other more upscale places around but these are our go-to locations.�
1/1/2015
guest Hey good catch on the blue Larry.
And... I haven't eaten at that restaurant in eons. It is a good place. Now you've got me salivating for it.
@Hussain, Mexican food can be very good here. Lots of authentic options.�
1/1/2015
guest Lots in San Diego but I happened to be eating today in Encinitas, CA at La Norte Especial Restaurant. And there was a white Model S P85 with Nevada plates on them.�
1/1/2015
guest After months of watching everyone else have random Model S sightings I finally have one to add. This is actually the 2nd in the wild MS (outside of our local group) I have seen but the first since I installed a dash cam. Taken around 3pm 7/20 in the Apple Valley/Lakeville area. Looked like it might have been a new one, if so congrats to the new owner the red looks great.
�
1/1/2015
guest Twitter capture of Model S
Not sure who posted this but I know whose Model S it is:wink:�
1/1/2015
guest "Hope you made it wherever you were going."�
1/1/2015
guest So, the USA is gradually filling up with Model S's � meanwhile, here in the UK, almost no one has a clue what one is, with lots of outright blind prejudice towards EV's as per Top Gear preaching's on the subject.
But interestingly, a German registered white Model S has been spotted in the wild, in Epsom UK, just last week.
AFAIK there are only two in the UK at present the other being dark blue, so this is a fairly rare spot �
�
1/1/2015
guest Nice spot! Car looks great, but man does that front plate stick out like a sore thumb.�
1/1/2015
guest Took my UK based CEO for a ride through NYC last week in my Model S. He said he can't wait to try a "proper side drive" version.
�
1/1/2015
guest No worries.... got there and back :biggrin:�
1/1/2015
guest I finally had my first in the wild sighting here in St. Louis yesterday at lunch. At the Elephant Bar at West County Mall. I wish I could have parked next to it, but alas, the lot was full and my red and I were relegated to the overflow lot.
�
1/1/2015
guest I saw my first Model S ever driving home today! I was somewhat excited given that it's the first one I've ever seen live, even though I didn't get that good of a look because it was on the opposite side of the highway. It was headed eastbound on I-70 around Boonville, MO around 5pm. I hope they found a place to charge. heh. Electric car chargers don't exist in mid-Missouri yet, and it's an awful long haul going from Kansas City straight to St. Louis. I guess an 85 kWh Model S could make it, but it would be uncomfortably close. About 250 miles.�
1/1/2015
guest He just needs to find a Nissan dealer on the outskirts of the city�
1/1/2015
guest 
Spotted a white Model S 3 doors down in my condo community while I was leaving for work. lights flashing, illegally parked (per HOA) so I am assuming they were visiting/dropping by. Hopefully they moved before the Trash collectors came. Personalized license plate was humorous.
7/30: today a coworker was stating that she saw a white Model S driving around close to our work (17 miles from my home) and she snapped a photo of it. I then showed her the above photo and we laughed. same car. ROFL�
1/1/2015
guest Finally synced my camera. A few random sightings since March...
La Jolla, CA
My first time parking next to a Tesla
My pops sent me this one this AM - Tesla rolling through Tahoe City, CA. - one word accompanied this pic.. Silent.
�
1/1/2015
guest As I was driving to work this morning...
�
1/1/2015
guest Black (?blue) going west on 31st St in LaGrange Park, IL this morning. Possibly passed the same one going north on Wolf Road, Hillside a couple of days ago�
1/1/2015
guest Funny, I was thinking "that looks way better than the US sized plate".�
1/1/2015
guest I actually agree with you, I think the progression in looks from best to worst is no plate, Euro plate, and then US plate, for the front.�
1/1/2015
guest Finally got to take a picture of one in the wild. This person has a nice setup at his/her office, in a downtown Washington, DC parking garage, with a NEMA 14-50. The garage/office building is right by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Archives. It's car #4536.
I'm embarrassed that the picture is so blurry, even though I wasn't even driving!
�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a Silver P85 with 19"s in my neighborhood in MN. Gave the driver a thumbs up and he waved back. Got to say those DRLs are strikingly beautiful!�
1/1/2015
guest A few more sightings in the DC area:
A White P85 Tuesday morning that is regularly on the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda
A black (possibly blue) with tan interior at the Caribbean Grill around 6:00 today in Arlington off of Lee Hwy;
My first Tesla->Tesla encounter Thurs afternoon crossing the Legion Bridge on 495. Pic below of that one, a silver P85 who also had new plates. I was a bumbling idiot with a 1/3 wave, 1/3 peace sign, and 1/3 thumbs up.
�
1/1/2015
guest I would like to see that gesture you made.
I missed the chance to get a pic of a gorgeous red in front of me the other day, similar to this.
Nice song, btw.�
1/1/2015
guest In Middleburg, VA this morning at about 11am... I had just parked my blue S at the side of Route 50 (W. Washington St.) when we caught a glimpse of another S go by... I think it was also blue with "AMP ME" on the plates.
Middleburg is a rather rural area, so I was pleasantly surprised...�
1/1/2015
guest A friend sent me this one from Vail, CO taken on 7/21/13.�
1/1/2015
guest Pulled into the Ellensburg, WA HPC to charge the other day. We were surprised to see another Model S plugged in to one of the Chargepoint J1772 spots across the way. I guess they did not have the adapter cord-- lucky for us. ;-)
�
1/1/2015
guest Actually, that looks like Beaver Creek!�
1/1/2015
guest I like the buffer zone around the S in Colorado. Stay away from car!�
1/1/2015

guest A row of Tesla products:
�
1/1/2015
guest If it was a grey one, it was me. We went from Tapoka to St Louis (in fact Eureka) after a charge in Kansas City. We made it without any problem, and are now back to Montreal. But I agree, Mo is not the perfect area to find good charging station.�
1/1/2015
guest So many in our town now, it's easy to catch one in your rear camera.

guest Well this one really isn't to do with Tesla, but I spotted a Fisker Karma today at our local country club today. Beautiful car. Kind of sad though, as this was the first and last car Fisker ever made. It had so much potential.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw a Karma yesterday up in Maple Grove near Arbour Lakes. Been seeing a lot more EVs of all stripes in Minnesota this summer.�
1/1/2015
guest LOL, did you feel a moral obligation to white out the Tesla driver's license plate, but no such qualms regarding the Volvo and Ford drivers? :tongue::redface:�
1/1/2015
guest Since Delaware was to house the manufacturing plant for the 'new' Fisker before the company went down hill we see more Fiskers in Delaware than Teslas. Hopefully that will reverse very quickly :smile:�
1/1/2015
guest well...ya, kinda silly. I just figured the likelihood of the Volvo or Ford drivers reading this forum was low - so they would never know the diff. The whole obscuring of plates is silly in the first place - I mean - they are always out when in public.�
1/1/2015
guest 3 just south of Hartford - white, gray, and black.
Although the Honda Fit EV's are always hogging the Panera Bread chargers :tongue:�
1/1/2015
guest I always wondered if anyone would spot my car and post it on this thread. Reading this thread, it seems like there are so many Tesla Model S paparazzi out there taking pictures (who knew). =) Well if anyone is interested, there will be 3 Model S at Focus plaza in San Gabriel Valley (LA, California) having lunch tomorrow. Mine is the grey with black rims. =) The other two are silver and white.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a white Model S at North Park shopping center today in Lexington, KY. Was out to lunch with a buddy of mine and I saw it pull into the parking lot. Was still there when we finished lunch so I asked my buddy to drive over and have a look (he drives a Volt). When we pulled up next to the car the I was about to jump out and start taking pictures when we noticed the owner was inside. She saw us gawking at the car and was kind enough to roll down the window to talk to us. She has one of the 60kWh models that is software limited to 40 kWh. She loved the car, said it has lots of power and had no issues with it in 2 months of ownership so far. I asked her about the range and she said it's a commuter car for her and the range at the time was 140mi. Gorgeous car and a very friendly owner. I didn't go through with my picture taking as I thought it might be embarrassing for myself and the owner. Can't wait to get one of my own!�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a white one w 21's in Cedar Park,Texas near Cedar Park H.S. around 12:30pm cst today.

1/1/2015
guest I'm in Los Angeles right now, and there's no way I could enumerate all of the Model Ses I've seen. It seems like every other car. I wouldn't feel as special here!�
1/1/2015
guest Tesla sighting in Vienna
I'm in Vienna on family vacation, missing my car. Somehow that loaded 5 series station wagon seems so utterly... unexciting.
We were on our way to the Spanish Riding School (my daughters love horses), riding the streetcar, when I noticed a familiar looking car out of the corner of my eyes. We jumped off the tram at the next stop, backtracked and there it was. A beautiful white P85, clearly a store owned car from Munich (it appears from their website that Tesla has only a virtual presence in Vienna).
We took pictures, trying to identify the person who matched with the car but couldn't spot anyone so we walked on.
A few blocks later we spotted another car marked Tesla
�
1/1/2015
guest ^^^ Munich store car. Nice spot.�
1/1/2015
guest Hah - thanks! I'm loving some Slacker radio. I have no idea how to operate in a world where any music you want isn't available on demand any more!�
1/1/2015
guest Proper etiquette when meeting another Tesla on the road... relax, smile, and wave hello!
So if you meet another Tesla owner on the road and you pop your lights, run along side, and flash the peace sign as you cruse by -- Wave back! I ran along with this guy in the brown Model S, dodging in out of traffic together, passing each other in various lanes (West bound on 26 for about 5 minutes) and he didn't give me the time of day. Maybe I initially came up on his tail a little quicker than he liked, maybe I intimidated him (didn't mean to). Or if he was in a hurry, pissed at sharing the road with me, trying to out run me, or what.
I think we're all on the same team.
EDIT: But man did his brown Model S look good running in low height along the freeway!�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a red model S with grey 21" wheels in foothill ranch about 4:30 yesterday.�
1/1/2015
guest Bumped into another owner (Black 85kWh with perf. wheels) at a take out place near home. We exchanged greetings but he was in a hurry to get dinner back to VA while it was still hot so there were no formal introductions. If you're on the forum, "Hi, I'm Jeff!"�
1/1/2015
guest There was a single car accident right behind my house on Tierra Rejada and i saw a Model S drive by.�
1/1/2015
guest Strange Model S Sighting Today
Outside SF, heading south on 101 around 3:45pm. Signature Red. Nothing out of the ordinary, until I saw the car had parking sensors in the factory positions and fog lights. I also noticed the rear turn signal blinked amber. Did early cars do this? I thought it was just European cars.
Anybody here? Factory car maybe?�
1/1/2015
guest I see other Teslas not quite every day in Portland, OR at this point, but it's definitely multiple each week.�
1/1/2015
guest The Tesla parking at Washington Square mall was full today (!!), so I had to park with the commoners.
By chance, I saw a car begin to back out of a spot - a red Tesla S! I tried waving, but I don't think they were looking. :smile:
Anyway, I took their spot. How often does that happen?�
1/1/2015
guest I was headed out Thursday evening to go retrieve my other vehicle from the dealership (BF used it to pick up his truck that had been repaired and left my poor little Genesis alone at the Chevy dealer :scared�
1/1/2015
guest Someone from Europe taking "California Delivery"?!�
1/1/2015
guest It's beginning to happen a lot now. Last three visits in 10 days it's been full for us.�
1/1/2015
guest Parking sensors are now an option in the USA. The floor model in the Los Angeles show room (Century City) I saw last week had them.�
1/1/2015
guest Yes, but the amber rear turn signal? I thought all US models (sadly) had red read turn signals. Or did this also change? Can someone check at one of the stores with a new Model S with parking sensors if they now have amber turn signals?�
1/1/2015
guest Yes please. Not aware if my local stores have a new copy yet. I'm also 99% positive the turn signal repeater did not say "Signature" on it. It definitely wasn't multi-coat Red. The car also had no capacity designation, just "Model S" on the rear and no plates.�
1/1/2015
guest Another sighting in Middleburg, VA this past Saturday (8/10). This one appeared to be Black as it drove by us on Hwy 50. The one I saw on the same road a couple of weeks ago appeared to be Metallic Blue like mine...�
1/1/2015
guest Oh boy. I already want the parking sensor retro-fit, but if there is an amber rear indicator option I'll take that too! Where do I sign?�
1/1/2015
guest Two random La Jolla, California sightings in past 24 hours.
First one was parked at the VONS grocery store Sunday night -- blue Model S with the turbine 21" wheels.
Second one was also a blue, this time this morning, on Herschel Ave. 19" wheels:
Since I have a blue on order, seeing blue S's in La Jolla is particularly interesting to me. I kinda wonder if I should be getting the Multi-Coat Red... the blue is so dark from most angles and in most lighting situations it looks black! But I do like the blue/tan combo...�
