    Another Sighting Fred Meyers by NW 158th. Quite common in Portland. Sorry for the blurry passing by iPhone shot.

    Blurry? My neck hurts!
    :)

    Have to ask ... so many photos are uploaded here that are upside down / 90 degrees off ... what causes it and what can be done by the author to fix it?

    None of my uploads every look like this (not saying I'm better), and I am familiar with various programming tools to upload pics ... and I don't really see (don't think) other site where this is a problem.
    Is this a weakness with vBulletin software?
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Dunno. Whenever I attach pictures to the forum they look upright. When I get a picture from another source and post it, I check if it's oriented correctly. If not, I toss it in MsPaint, rotate, and update my post. So either it's a non-Windows thing or people haven't found MsPaint yet.

    Played a house party gig last night on lake Sammamish for a friends 40th bday. I parked my black S60 out in front of the house. Another dark colored S was close by, but never found out if it's owner was also at the party. Ring a bell for anyone??

    At approximately at7:00pm to on Veterns Day I saw a black Model S picking u someone from the. Ft. Lauderdale Airport but no pictures. I could not stop because the S was near the exit of the concourse.

    Today I saw a Grey P85 with grey wheels and CF in Dusseldorf, Germany. Could not take a pic - too fast. My first sighting of Tesla outside of US. It looked awesome among Audi's and BMW's.

    Came back to find 2 other beauties sitting pretty next to mine. The far right is a P85 with grey turbines and the middle is an S85 like mine.

    I wish they had a faster charger there, I was at that mall for an hour and half
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Do you gave a single charger? If you have "twin" chargers, that charger should be able to give you 80amps (unless they have it dialed back internally), which is pretty quick.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Excuse me. I saw this matter of the twin charger on the Tesla Web Site. Can you explain me what the twin charger is useful for? Can it double the input current to better charge the Model S? So is the twin charger actually a current amplifier?
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    If you are charging from AC current (not Supercharger, not CHADEMO), the single charger will limit the charging rate to 40 amps (more or less). The twin charger can accept 80 amps, if that is available.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Thank you for your kind answer. So I don't need the twin charger because in Italy we don't have AC charger > 40 amps (at least as far as I know).

    Saw this red beauty in SLC...

  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    I have a single, and I am not sure what it is charging at. Yesterday it was so slow.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Yes as Neroden said, you're capped at 40 max amps, which is about 29m /hr of charging. If you have two chargers, you can handle twice as much.

    But note, there aren't too many 80 amp charging solutions out in the wild, and Tesla's SC network will supplant most travel needs anyway - since the Superchargers bypass the inboard chargers and feed direct to the battery pack.

    Now back on topic... BryanW, love the red capture in SLC. What nice fin am I seeing out your rear window? ;)

    Saw a gray(?) model S on Market St. in Leesburg VA this morning at about 11:30am... we exchanged headlight flashes.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Saw another gray MS heading north on I-95 near Philadelphia at 4:10pm today. I was heading south and saw it across the divider near the Harbison St exit. At over 60mph and combined speed of over 120mph I had no time to do anything but notice the distinctive DRLs and the color!

    Last week I saw a Red Signature Model S belonging to an Italian friend of mine coming to visit Rome. There was a crowd staring at the Model S while charging close to my apartment in Rome.
    The Model S is so beautiful. :love:
  • 1/1/2015

    What a Tesla-filled day! I saw a beautiful brown P85+ with VA plates "TSTARQ" parked right in front of the Max Brenner restaurant in Philly. Corner of 15th and Walnut Streets at 6:15pm. Looked like the rear child seats were folded out, so perhaps the owner brought in the whole family for a day in Philly? Actually had my DSLR with me, so here are some hi-res pictures!

    They are pretty rare over here. I've only come across two to my knowledge. But one I definitely wish I could have used...
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    My First Ever!!. I live in Chattanooga and the only MS I have ever seen is the one my cardiologist drives. I had never seen one in the wild until yesterday afternoon. I was traveling down I-75 south just after the I-24 split. This one looked to be a blue beauty with Tennessee military retired tags on it.

    Of all places, I found another white Tesla in Chilliwack (about 1.5 h out of Vancouver) when I was swinging by the Five Guys to grab a quick dinner!

    Totally unexpected since there are still only around 160 Model S's in British Columbia.

    The other owner was jazzed to see another Model S pulling up -- they were seated at the window and excitedly waved as I pulled up.

    Mine's the S85 (NO FOSL).

    10 days after picking up my Performance 85, I had my first sighting of a Tesla in the wild, in McKinney, TX this morning around 8:20. A lovely blue Model S. Didn't get a picture, though.

    Saw two Model S's in two days, both on Ravenna Ave NE, in Seattle. A beautiful pearl white and a green (like mine) and dirty (like mine). Was driving so no pictures.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Followed home over the 405, then Westbound on 26, exiting at Murray together... a brown Model S with silver 21s and fog lights on. License plate "CHRGD". :)

    Dennis or Ethan, did you get new plates?

    Saw this beauty in Provo today. Saw it once before, but it had the wrong school flags flying. IMG_0536.JPG

    Nice! I've only spotted one S in the wild in Utah.
  • 1/1/2015

    Ive seen a couple now. I see a white one going south I-15 most mornings when im headed to work.
  • 1/1/2015

    Maybe I'm just to focused on the cars immediately around me. :p I rarely look at the cars traveling the other direction on I-15.

    OK, not exactly random. Still a nice group of Modes S's and a Volt at Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland Saturday.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Are those chargers free to use for anyone with an electric vehicle and you get preferred parking right out front like that? Maybe a little trip to Chabot is in order� :)

    Unfortunately those are not chargers at all. Just white posts to mark the sidewalk area.

    Adding to the amount of people going out of their way to see my Model S, there has been quite a few who did not know that it was a Tesla, or for that matter, know very little about Tesla. They just thought it was a really amazing looking car. Common question: "Where is made, Italy?"

    Thats cool in a way, as it meets the criteria of the original design goal, "to be an amazing car that happens to be electric"
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    This is me posting about witnessing a stranger's random Model S sighting. Sunday I was shopping with friends at a dept store. When we came out and approached my car, there was a woman taking pictures of it in the parking lot.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Nice plates on both! :smile:
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    I still get people taking pics of mine all the time, with me in it and everything (they don't seem to care, it's awkward). They are still very rare around these parts...I can't tell you how many times I see a flash in my rear view mirror to look up and see the person in the car behind me taking a photo of it. Best was a dude in a brand new Ferrari snapping photos of my car. I took photos right back at him! Hah!
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Maybe they are taking pics of YOU cuz you're so pretty?

    I see people taking pics of my car with their phone in traffic all the time, but someone up close and personal in a parking lot was a first for me.

    I never posted about the woman who passed me in a white MS the other day on Gandy Blvd while I was waiting to turn left. I was so excited to see another MS in the wild, but she never even noticed me.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Yeah I've had a couple walk up and take pics, then the guy stands next to our car, and she take pics of him standing next to out car... like it's his or something. Funny.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Saw the same car again. Always going southbound around Bangerter Highway exit. @6:45ish

    I can tell because of the headlights. It really stands out.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Well that's why I've never seen it, I try not to wake up that early unless I absolutely have to!

    I've been seeing this handsome Model S on my way to work in Arlington, VA. There was a Roadster (service loaner?) parked there for a couple days earlier this month. Hi if you're on the Forums!

    I had a nice lady in a red P+ come borrow some plugshare electrons from my HPWC the other day. Silly as it sounds always being on the inside driving, I have never really watched an MS drive up and maneuver around in close quarters while outside watching. They really are pretty cars and stealthily quiet on the outside.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    I thought that looked like I thought that looked like the Norristown service center. They can't move into the bigger building fast enough, they really need more room.
  • 1/1/2015

    how bizarre - that's exactly one number off of my VA license plate :)

    Tesla probably applied for several plates at the same time

    I finally see a car I recognize! That one is right around the corner from me and was one of the first I saw in the wild. Checking it out daily made me decide to buy mine. BTW - I see the Marymount shuttle in the background. I can never get away from those either! :)

    Maybe it was just me, but AFAIK we Virginians were on our own for plates. Since Tesla can't sell here, they don't do much in terms of that stuff so it might have just been a coincidence. In another instance of bizarreness, I have the same address # as the guy pictured and the same phone number except for 1 digit (his # was posted on the M3 that he presumably sold after buying the S).
  • 1/1/2015

    Saw a truck full of Model S going up Parley's canyon. It had broken down. By the time I noticed it was Teslas I couldn't take a photo.
  • 1/1/2015

    spotted this blue beauty from my clunky, antique, gas-powered rental car in San Francisco this morning. I had three meetings in SF today. Interesting note: all three were with fellow Model S owners but that is not how I met any of them.

    At an event yesterday in Minneapolis, so not totally "random". Grey P85+ on the right and Black S85 on the left. We stopped to get lunch :) Both are manufacturer cars owned by Tesla Minneapolis. Sorry for the pic quality. My phone didnt seem to want to focus...
    IMAG0217.jpg
    Then, later that day at the Minneapolis Service Center, I saw one of the coolest/rarest color combos I have ever seen: Green P85+ with Grey 21s and red brake calipers. Christmas colors!

    wow, on the fence about the red calipers.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    yea supposedly they actually do not look good in person. real pictures popping up now basically confirm this. I've only heard several people now see these new calipers in person, and all of them said they did *NOT* like the look. I'm actually glad I don't have these now. I think the only one it might look good on is the multicoat red.

    here's another higher quality pic on one of the newer wheels.

    Sighting at the Woodburn supercharger. Red, Silver and Blue. Blue is mine - just that day changed from 21" to 19" snow tires.
    Rides completely different. I feel 21" responded better but 19" has better grip (with snow tires)

    Spotted a black P85 with NY plates in front of the David Zwirner gallery in Chelsea (NYC) today at 4pm. It was sitting pretty in front of about 200 people lined up to see the Yayoi Kusama exhibition (Exhibitions David Zwirner)

    We wanted to go in but a 2.5 hour wait was a bit much. Got some pics with my DSLR, will post later...

    Coming back from Thanksgiving with the in laws, east Seattle. Had fun using the Centralia SC on the way up, and here on the way back to Portland.

    Met TeslaSinHR and his wife, in the red. Ours in black. Wish I would have stayed longer to meet the couple that just arrived in their Gray. No one was in the pearl. AJ said he was getting 120kw charge speeds. :)

    I just used the SC for 5 min, to appease the wife and kids (keeping it short), but enough to put 40+ miles in and take the edge off, since we were only able to charge up to 90% before heading out.

  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    I saw a red Model S drive by me around 5:30pm as I was walking/biking home from a friend's house (Falls Church near Arlington and McLean). I knew there were others in the area but didn't know there was another one so close by. Might've been from elsewhere, as it was very slowly following another car. I didn't pay close enough attention to the license plate.

    I guarantee there is NOTHING cooler than driving along in your MS and looking in your rearview to see an identical Model S behind you. Happened to me yesterday on the way from Chattanooga to Nashville. We shared the grin and a thumbs up and moved on.
  • 1/1/2015

    Isn't that Nissan Leaf country (or are they out of range given that its 114 miles from Smyrna, TN)?
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    Still chuckling over that one! The only leafs around here are those that fell off my maple tree. There are a lot of TVA Volts around town though. I pulled up to one of their charging stations just to see if I could plug in. (I really would have asked permission first!!!) But there is a big sign that says TVA EVs ONLY so I just pulled back away from the curb and went about my business.

    Caught another blue (I think... it was dark) Model S on Democracy Dr. in Rockville, MD this evening just about 5pm... gave him a thumbs up.

  • 1/1/2015

    Just saw this (a few days late)! Yeah, getting the sound proofing upgrades, rear back up camera, updated double DIN, and putting on the winter wheels!

    The Roadster is back in Utah now, with the winter wheels just in time for the big storm. The roadster with winter tires does very well, but she's definitely not shiny and clean like in that picture now...

    Still amazing that thing can fly, and move as fast as it does/did.
  • 1/1/2015
    guest
    you should see the new one they are building...Lockheed Martin's currently building the 'Son of Blackbird'. Mach 6+ and armed. So fast that by the time your radar can pick it up (that is, if it even CAN pick it up), it'll be too late and you'll already be blown to bits before you even have the chance to move.
  • 1/1/2015

    To be fair, here is one with an airframe I've flown. That's what happens when your fleet is 50+ years old... Hope I can drive my model s for 50 years and still be beating the hell out of it on a daily basis.

    The t-38 was probably the only cockpit I've spent a good amount of time in at was more exhilarating than the cockpit of the model s. the model I flew had a nice glass cockpit too...

    this was at Edwards afb... A nice little shortcut between tejon ranch and Barstow if you have access. Saves about 10 miles.
