guest Sam, you have to hold the world record for sightings in different parts of the country, not only in your own backyard.�
1/1/2015
guest Heh! I aim to please!
Yes indeed, haha! I get to see them in a varied natural habitat!!! Here is a bonus pic from right now! A blue S85 parked at 4th and Colorado in Austin!
�
1/1/2015
guest Sam, you got any pics of Bigfoot or the chupacabra?�
1/1/2015
guest Just my own big lead foot that I use to drive the MS
�
1/1/2015
guest I saw a Volt (or Opel Ampera, as it's called here) this Friday, the first I have ever seen. It was in the left lane in very slow-moving traffic, I was in the right lane in my red Model S 85. In front of me was a grey P85, behind me was a white Model S. No, I don't know if that was a 60, 85, P85 or P85+. I didn't see the rear end of it.�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a blue S85 with Tan Nappa and standard 19s in the 12th and Walnut street garage in Philadelphia with PA plates
�
1/1/2015
guest For VFX - vin #25000 got a special color
�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a really dirty white MS with pano parked in the Vail Village parking structure.�
1/1/2015
guest Hat Trick!
�
1/1/2015
guest Dang, what every you do don't showt his to my wife or I'll have to order a second one and haggle Tesla to give me this color�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted on main street , downtown Sarasota, Fl.�
1/1/2015
guest ^^^^ HORRIBLE parking! crooked, right up on the line, tire up against curb and nose hanging over the curb.....it's a sad day for that Tesla.�
1/1/2015
guest
What??? In Philly??? I live here and haven't seen one.�
1/1/2015
guest OMG. LOVE this color.�
1/1/2015
guest What does "for VFX" mean?
I want that color. But I thought that Tesla was not doing custom colors, for anyone. Maybe it was repainted by the owner.�
1/1/2015
guest VFX is the handle of a long-time TMC member who had his Roadster painted this stunning copper color. I considered trying to "license" the formula from him. ;-)�
1/1/2015
guest No pics unfortunately, but I got passed by a Tesla Service Truck on the Mass Pike this Christmas morning in the Worcester area and we waved to each other. My first sighting of one of those out in the wild.
I caught up with them again later and roared past them and we all waved again�
1/1/2015
guest I've always admired the color. Except I've been calling it "burnt orange." What does VFX call it?�
1/1/2015
guest I've heard it called "copper" in his presence, but now I can't remember who it was who called it that. It might not have been either of the owners.�
1/1/2015
guest Looks orange to me. And way cool!�
1/1/2015
guest Just south of the Pentagon, a MI registered Model S.
Assuming it's not a local who just registers the car out of state, my hat's off to the driver--running from Michigan to Virginia in December before the Superchargers are built out sounds like quite a trip.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw this beautiful, though dirty, Sig red in Excelsior, MN last night. Oddly, it still had its 21s on. Most of the cars in MN have had 19s put on with winter tires.
�
1/1/2015
guest 
Pretty little red S85 at a 24 Hour Fitness in Little Elm, Texas. Nice.�
1/1/2015
guest The 24 Hour Fitness here is door ding central. My last vehicle got about 9 dents from that place. These days I always park at the extreme end of the row where only one car can park next to me and hopefully with nobody next to me on either side.�
1/1/2015
guest And if you park on the right-hand side of a row (i.e., no parking to your right), then you only can get dinged by the passenger-side door. Since most people drive around solo, you improve your odds further. Further, if you back into the spot (highly recommended) you'll be opening your door into an empty area and not risk dinging the car next to you.�
1/1/2015
guest Good advice. I'll have to see what I can find next time I'm at the gym (probably today).
I also try to look for the "staggered" parking places where their doors do not line up with my car.�
1/1/2015
guest My wife and I refer to those spots as a "fiddy-fiddy" - you only have a fifty/fifty chance of a door ding.�
1/1/2015
guest So when I park way out where there's no one around, that's a "naughty-naughty" then?�
1/1/2015
guest Only when you are stalking the Steves.........
happy new year Chris...........�
1/1/2015
guest Found a nice one at the Gym, right on the far right end with nobody next to me today. I had to laugh when I came out there was some woman pulling up nose to nose and trying to get as close to my bumper as possible. I jogged over and told her "that's perfect" and she stopped. She was about two inches away from my bumper. When I left, she got back in her car and took the spot I'd been parked in. Weird day for parking��
1/1/2015
guest 
At the Container Store across from International Plaza today, or yesterday...my niece texted this to me today. Lawsteve, was this you? If so, please note it was my niece doing the stalking!�
1/1/2015
guest Nope. Wasn't me. Talk about a dangerous parking lot - that one is high on the list.
Nice looking car though. Only difference is my FSU plate E-PWR.
So this stalking thing runs in your family?�
1/1/2015
guest *throws wallet at the screen*
Seriously, I just wrote my sales rep to tell them they should make this happen, cause I would pay them whatever I needed to to have this haha!�
1/1/2015
guest 
Spotted in Sarasota.�
1/1/2015
guest In regard to the burnt orange color Tesla, I was told by someone who knows someone (I know, it sounds crazy but let's just say that my source was recently 3 supervisors above me and they know some of Tesla folks) who said that the burnt orange color and other ones were going to be coming out. He straight up said, "have you seen the new colors yet?"
I started to search these forums for more information. I say this not bc I want to start some rumors but it IS something I heard from someone I trust.�
1/1/2015
guest While on our way to the Big Island (Hawaii) we had a layover in LA for 6 hours and spotted 6 Model S's on the way to Santa Monica where we spent most of the layover.
On the way back we only saw one but it was something like this color, a custom blue or a new color. As soon as we landed in Hawaii we saw another Model S on our way to the hotel (one of only 2 on the island apparently). Never saw another Model S until I got home...�
1/1/2015
guest Passed a white Model S going east on Griffin Road, Weston, FL last weekend on the way to Everglades Holiday Park where this early one (P012xx) with carbon fiber nosecone was parked.
cannot seem to turn them right side up!�
1/1/2015
guest OOooo..... Australian deliveries!�
1/1/2015
guest
LoL...do they only make left hand turns too?�
1/1/2015
guest VFX calls his car color "copper" - it is a bit different from VIN 25k
�
1/1/2015
guest I would call it "Papaya"�
1/1/2015
guest
You're confusing this one with the special NASCAR edition.�
1/1/2015
guest 
btw the guy in that model s said he liked my car (smart ed) and gave me a thumbs up because i gave him a thumbs up :smile:�
1/1/2015
guest I live in the St. Louis and there are just enough MS to spot some every now and again. Saw a black one today in my dad's neighborhood.
I would think there would be more since there is a service center here and we have a owner specialist based out of here but they are coming up.�
1/1/2015
guest Our daughter moved into a condo in Broomfield, CO today. When she parked in the garage she texted us that her parking spot was right across from a Model S:
-----
Update: Weird, I attached the image using Tapatalk on iPad and the orientation was correct. Don't know why it's rotated on TMC web.�
1/1/2015
guest Why are there so few Model Ss in the Mainline of Philadelphia??? We have a Tesla store at the King of Prussia Mall, and a service center in Norristown, soon to be in Devon. I've seen maybe three in the past few months. I haven't seen one in center city Philadelphia at all (though @SamGarber has seen some).�
1/1/2015
guest I have seen at least 15 PA-registered Teslas that were not loaners or demo cars (Center city, airport parking and KOP)�
1/1/2015
guest There was one there for 4 days when we visited 2 weeks ago...:wink:�
1/1/2015
guest We have at least a dozen over here in Pittsburgh now, including a second Green, which I just saw over the weekend. Hopefully we will achieve critical mass for a "Service Center Plus" (which includes a small showroom/gallery) sometime in 2014!�
1/1/2015
guest Was in Center City and University City this past weekend, it was a Tesla void.
I always see them up by Bryn Mawr though.�
1/1/2015
guest I live in Wynnewood and am ALWAYS looking for them. I saw one last week driving two cars ahead in the next lane on Montgomery Avenue past Lower Merion HS and I yelled at my kids in the back seat, "There's one, look!!!" I tried to get next to it to see the driver but to no avail (probably because I'm in a Prius). I've seen two black Model Ss (maybe the same car, didn't see plate), and my friend has seen one white and one red in this area. That's it. Can't wait for my brown...�
1/1/2015
guest Rafael de Mestra is doing a road trip from Germany to St Petersburg and just tweeted this pic where he's charging in Tallinn:
He's also tweeted me and wants to meet on Thursday and he will also have on Thursday an open event at 8PM in a local Hotel for all EV enthusiasts. So I'll probably post some more pics when we meet on Thursday�
1/1/2015
guest No pictures because I was in vacation mode but I figured I should report in. Houston over the holidays: 1x Roadster in blue, and 4x Model S in gray, white, (2013) red, and black.�
1/1/2015
guest I've crossed a line somewhere....now I'm getting unsolicited pictures of Teslas sent to me from out of state relatives.
This one was near Newark, MD this morning.
�
1/1/2015
guest at the post office in st Clair shores Michigan on 28 December.
Also... We aren't the only ones on base with one now... Met another one yesterday.�
1/1/2015
guest A grey Model S pulled out behind me onto Greenspring Rd, just north of Ridge Rd in Owings Mills, MD this morning at ~8:45 AM. I gave them a thumbs up, not sure if they saw or not.�
1/1/2015
guest So I've been away from home for two weeks and my rental drives like garbage. When I saw those unmistakable headlights coming up behind me while eastbound on 60 in Mesa, you could say I got a little excited. Keep in mind that it's a Tesla wasteland where I live so I basically never get to see other owners. I'm the only one around for at least 150 miles. Anyhow, my reaction was to whip out my phone, open the Tesla app and plaster it to the window(displaying my "Home" page) while waving to the owner of this gorgeous black Tesla on 21's. A little afterthought made me realize 1. He probably couldn't see the screen and thought I was taking a pic, 2. I probably looked like a psycho stalker, and 3. It was probably a bad idea doing this at 70mph. Haha. My apologies. Love seeing this car in the wild.�
1/1/2015
guest Met today with Rafael de Mestre here in Tallinn during one of his road trips. We had about 10 people around a table asking questions about electric cars, driving really long distances and his experiences with electrics after 130 000km. It was fun to hear that he's never been left at the side of the road and he doesn't really plan his trips, but just drives and when the time is approaching to charge he looks for a location and keeps the chill. There are almost always 3x16A or 3x32A CEE plugs around and it's super easy to just ask for them and in most cases people don't mind (you have to have your own cable though). In any case it was a fun couple of hours to chat and he's here in TMC as well under the username TRON
�
1/1/2015
guest Grey Model S and Fisker Karma. I believe the Model S was David Wexler's. Sorry that the Model S's are so far in the background, the other picture was out of focus.
�
1/1/2015
guest There was a brown Model S on Old Georgetown Rd. in Rockville MD last night turning on to Tuckerman Ln. at about 6:30pm... couldn't quite catch up due to traffic...
Another on route 7 heading West in to Leesburg on Wed night at about 6:30 also... looked to be black. We waved.�
1/1/2015
guest Got to follow a white S85 on 202 south in between King of Prussia PA and West Chester in some nasty weather today. First time getting to travel with another MS for me. Looked good out there!�
1/1/2015
guest 
+ saw 4 more in a matter of 30 minutes, so many Model S's driving around little ol' Simi Valley now...�
1/1/2015
guest Finally, after nearly a year I ended up side by side with another TMC member who works right around the corner from my neighborhood... On our way to dinner I caught those beautiful headlights in my sideview mirror and that multicoat red paint and knew right away it was xhawk101. We managed to have a quick chat at a light. It was fun seeing another MS on the road at night, I'm always in mine so finally got to enjoy just how beautiful all those lights are!�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a Black or Blue Model S coming off the Oxford Valley Road ramp onto US-1 South at 3:10pm today. Looked like no front license plate so probably a local PA Tesla!�
1/1/2015
guest I was at Starbucks the other day and there were FOUR of us there. We had our own little Starbucks Tesla club.
I didn't take a picture because it's all too common where I live (this is a good thing). If I posted a pic every time I spotted a Tesla, I'd never get any work done. I see 3 or 4 of them every time I go out.�
1/1/2015
guest You: Driving a shiny white S85 on Soutbound Ashburn Rd., turning right on to 643 on Saturday , 1/11.
Me: Driving my old red '97 4Runner, continuing straight so I could get to home depot.
You pulled beside me. I honked. You didn't notice. I rolled down my window. You turned the other way.
Alas, our verbal exchange was not to be...�
1/1/2015
guest Maybe they were trying to avoid the situation I posted about a while back:
Embarrassing Tesla moment...�
1/1/2015
guest Walked out of a Sports Authority in Vinings on Saturday. Did a double take because my car got 4 spaces closer to the door!
�
1/1/2015
guest @ElSupreme, found your doppelganger did you?�
1/1/2015
guest I was only about 10' away before I realized it wasn't mine. I remembered that I parked further out (full aisle when I got there), and the rival car didn't have tinted windows.
On closer inspection they had black leather. Other than that they looked the same. Both were even absent '85' badging at the back. I didn't check the VIN to see if it was P85/85/60.�
1/1/2015
guest Yes Finally! Nearly missed you as I was accelerating in my usual style lol�
1/1/2015
guest Saw this albeit dirty beauty in New Canaan today
�
1/1/2015
guest I'm sure they were trying to avoid making eye contact with the dude in the beat up 17 yr old vehicle heading to Home Depot.
I don't blame him.�
1/1/2015
guest Just spotted a black model S with MA EV plate heading towards Joe DiMaggio Hwy entrance on W 57th Street in Manhattan. Too fast to snap a picture!�
1/1/2015
guest 01/15 - driving north on Limestone Road in Pike Creek, DE and I saw those LEDs in my rear view. Blue P85+ with Delaware plates. Thanks for the headlight flash and wave! Third MS I saw yesterday! Was it AimC?�
1/1/2015
guest It doesn't count as a Random Sighting if it is your *own* car!!!�
1/1/2015
guest Silver this morning around 815 on Chain Bridge Road heading into DC. I flashed my lights at you!
Blue (I think?) w/ 21s in Crystal City (Arlington, VA) last Thursday morning, 1/9 (around 9am).
�
1/1/2015
guest Yeah, I see that blue one there fairly regularly--though usually that spot is occupied by a Volt.
The other day I saw this in that spot. From a distance, it took a second to realize what was weird about what I was seeing.
�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a black P85 parked in front of my NYC hotel (The Lexington @ 48th St). Obviously I am staying at the right place even if I didn't bring my MS!
�
1/1/2015
guest At the Gilroy supercharger station today, may be the same car, although I don't see the white decals in your pic.
�
1/1/2015
guest Some demo cars at King of Prussia Mall

1/1/2015
guest Saw a Model S driving on Sawmill Rd. in Dublin, OH on the overpass over I-270.�
1/1/2015
guest Is that a wrap? It looks like paint from this picture. how strange.�
1/1/2015
guest This was never an official color was it? I don't remember yellow ever being offered. I love it though!�
1/1/2015
guest Just don't try to peel that banana!�
1/1/2015
guest I finally saw a transporter with three or four Model S heading out of DC on I-270 yesterday.�
1/1/2015
guest This thread should be pinned.
Anyway, new "grass" to park my Tes on.
�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a black and a white model s in Carmel CA today! Went to the beach and there they were...�
1/1/2015
guest That's not a bad idea. Might actually help temporarily solve my mudpit driveway issue. MS is so heavy it tore up my driveway pretty bad. Tires get all muddy every time I pull in and out of the garage. Had to even lie down some spare studs for some makeshift bridges it got so bad.
I'd love to pave my driveway but every quote I get is over > $7k-$10k. Not worth it at those prices IMO�
1/1/2015
guest That's a big area, my fake grass covers a 9 x 24 area of compressed gravel. Nonetheless it was only $70!. I would get the stuff with the stiffer packing next time though. Also the gravel was only $200 delivered and compressed so maybe look into that?
�
1/1/2015
guest Not really a "random" sighting if it is your car
Thankfully I don't have this issue since I live in a condo, so my driveway is maintained by them and it is paved
- - - Updated - - -
Also, how did you get OUT of your car? You look awful close to the wall there, lol!�
1/1/2015
guest You think he gets out of the car?!?! That's where he lives�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted two MSs at the Preflight Parking at Philly airport. One is a black one I have seen before and the other is blacked out and matte wrapped with black powder coated turbines and red T stickers as well as red outline on nose cone. This new one is owned by a gentleman named KP out of NJ! Three total Teslas sucking juice in the garage, love it.
And mine

1/1/2015
guest Exactly, my cars payment is like a mortgage!
- - - Updated - - -
It was random, I randomly walked by car and BAM!...took a picture :wink:
Anyway, what you cant see on the left is a small area where my door swings open, it looks like a wall because of the sun.
- - - Updated - - -
Sorry for the huge pictures but here's what the spot looked like before.
�
1/1/2015
guest It's funny you should say that... my car is totally 1/3rd the cost of my house... I have had people heckle me because of how expensive this thing is going to run me. Oh well. got to live a little right?�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a blue P85 with TX plate"AMPT" heading north on TX 1 loop Mopac near the Arboretum area in Austin. I was the one in the huge gas guzzler ICE excitedly taking pictures and waving.
�
1/1/2015
guest Is that quote for asphalt or for a concrete slab?�
1/1/2015
guest I just saw white model S headed westbound on I 70 just before Greenriver UT. I couldn't get my phone out to snap a picture. I was heading eastbound.�
1/1/2015
guest asphalt�
1/1/2015
guest That seems really high for asphalt. How big is the area? My neighbor just had his entire concrete driveway redone (with demo and removal) and it cost less that that!�
1/1/2015
guest I've had at least 5-6 quotes all over $6k. If I were to guess I'd say its about 20ft x 100ft. Its a decent amount.�
1/1/2015
guest Yeah that sounds about right for a 2000 square ft driveway.�
1/1/2015
guest 2 gray demo cars (P85 and P85+) at The Domain Tesla store! Had to go be near them since I missed mine. Haven't seen mine for 3 days now.

1/1/2015
guest 
Randomly saw my own Tesla today soaking in the Oregon sun.:redface:�
1/1/2015
guest Visiting family in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year, I had finished dinner and was crossing street to hail a cab, when i noticed this red car displayed in courtyard in front of a Mercedes Benz showroom. Why its a Signature red Model S - and displayed right in front of the MB showroom - genius! This must be the first public viewing in central Hong Kong.
Later upon examining Tesla's Hong Kong website, I find that this Tesla will be displayed from Jan 15 through Feb 15 at the Hopewell Center in Wan Chai. And btw I find that there is a Tesla charging station in Hopewell's 12th floor parking - how convenient.
Sorry for the blurry pic, I took it just before entering cab�
1/1/2015
guest very cool, thanks for that HK picture. Happy new year! :smile:�
1/1/2015
guest I-495 / 270 spur heading north on 270 towards Gaithersburg, MD this afternoon around 12:30. Ajay - is this you?
�
1/1/2015
guest No chance to see how the rear seat was "improved"?�
1/1/2015
guest Nope. Couldn't even tell if its a RH drive car (doubt it).
I will be going out of HK for the weekend but will try to revisit when I return.�
1/1/2015
guest Looks like the driver's side rear door handle is extended or is that just a shadow?�
1/1/2015
guest i think that's just dirt on the windshield�
1/1/2015
guest looks pretty low to the ground. I bet he didn't upgrade. hahaha�
1/1/2015
guest Today I saw my third German Model S on my way home from work, on the Autobahn A99 north of Munich. Blew past me at what must have been close to 100mph. Noteworthy is the fact that it had no dealer stickers or anything like that so it was probably my first "genuine" sighting of a Model S of a private customer.
My first sighting was one of the three cars they had brought to Germany to introduce them and my second appeared to be a show car and had a big dealer sticker on the side so I feel they don't really count.�
1/1/2015
guest On Montrose Parkway in Rockville, MD this morning at about 8:30am, and had another 85 pull up next to me. With the road salt, etc.. (on both our cars!), it was hard to tell if it was black, or blue like mine. Clever license plate:"GRNRG".
Cool dude...�
1/1/2015
guest Well, this is not really random as the picture taken yesterday night during Elon's appearance at Munich store. Presumably the first TMS Taxi in Germany :smile:
�
1/1/2015
guest That was a shadow. All handles were retracted. Turns out I know the owner. He unfortunately bent both his front rims on a pothole and was heading to Rockville Service Center for replacements...
- - - Updated - - -
I was on Montrose yesterday around 8:30 too! Must've just missed you. We could've had a caravan....�
