guest Don't hold your breath. I've been driving around here for over two years and have never seen my car in a random sighting post.
Maybe we'll see you in a few months...�
1/1/2015
guest Hey Peter,
It was a pleasant surprise when I saw myself just a couple of weeks after I got the car back in September - totally random and unexpected
�
1/1/2015
guest HAHA! That's mine! Was this 3 days ago?
~ I feel so special ~�
1/1/2015
guest Teslas are still a bit of a rarity around here... and at my workplace (where I've acquired a bit of notoriety for Serena) there are NO other EVs of ANY kind.
Walking out to my car to go home yesterday I nearly tripped over my jaw when I saw a blue MS 60 parked in the visitor spaces (albeit a bit crooked!).
WHA..??? I figured it must be a client or something and thought for sure I'd get it mentioned to me later, but so far the owner remains a mystery.

guest How Leilani Munter Uses Racing To Raise Environmental Awareness
--
Leilani Munter positions herself behind the steering wheel of her sleek, silver-colored Tesla Model S and excitedly talks about the quietness, the performance and the pleasure she derives from driving her electric car. She switches on the heated seats on this cold winter day and immediately demonstrates her car's quick acceleration. A few minutes later she's parked in front of a coffee shop, and upon walking into the business she takes delight in the employees' reaction to the wording on her North Carolina license plate: EFF Oil.
"I had applied for EFF U Oil, but I got a letter from the DMV saying no," Munter said with a laugh. "Then I filed for EFF Oil and that one went through."

1/1/2015
guest I saw a beautiful blue on I 15 yesterday from California. Snapped a photo, but I was driving. It is difficult to tell it is a tesla from the photo.�

1/1/2015
guest I saw the orange/copper Model S on Morena Blvd in San Diego this morning. They saw the lavender BGC going the other way. It was an instantaneous event, but shocking to me and I assume to the other driver. Belatedly waved...�
1/1/2015
guest Do you mean Dennis?
Model S Paint - factory custom? - Page 3�
1/1/2015
guest That may have been it, although it looked a little lighter to me than those pics. It may have been a wrap job, too.�
1/1/2015
guest Wasn't me. I'm in SoCal this week, but not San Diego. Maybe it was the burnt orange one owned by a Tesla paint shop employee.
�
1/1/2015
guest I just passed a dark (green or black, I would guess) Model S on Highbridge / Route 92 between Manlius and Dewitt at almost exactly 2PM. I was heading Northwest and it was heading Southeast. I flashed my lights at the last second but did not see any acknowledgment.�
1/1/2015
guest I have a buddy that lives in that neck of the woods (just off Troop K Rd above the Cavalry Golf Club), and I think he has seen a dark one in the area as well.�

guest Black one parked on 2nd street in St. Pete last night. A different black one, this time with red AlloyGators on the Howard Frankland this afternoon. Things are picking up!�
1/1/2015
guest I had to pull up the details of this car belonging to @NoMoGas to see if Jim lives in Florida, but alas, no.

1/1/2015
guest Thank you for not calling it the Howard Franklin.�
1/1/2015
guest I was driving next to the woman with the red rim gators about 2 weeks ago for about 2 miles on Ulmerton Road. She never acknowledged I was next to here.�
1/1/2015
guest It was probably your over-exuberant (is that a word?) waving and light flashing that frightened her.�
1/1/2015
guest Well, he also could have been seeing mine. It's blue, and I'm up in this area a fair amount when I'm not in Ithaca.�

guest Saleen ST
Saleen ST spotted at Hawthorne Supercharger. Lots of Tesla design guys came out to take a look at it. It was being driven by an Automobile Magazine writer who is using it as part of an upcoming article.
�
1/1/2015
guest This was today on I-45 in Houston headed south. Very pretty P85.
�
1/1/2015
guest Anyone here?
�
1/1/2015
guest Imagine my surprise when I walked out of the gym this morning and got confused for a second. Do you think my 60 might grow up to be a P85+ one day?
�
1/1/2015
guest No.
But perhaps a P85D.�
1/1/2015
guest My wife just managed to snap this photo of a gray P85 on Erie Blvd in Syracuse, stopped at the light across from Denny's. She's driving our P85D. The other Tesla had been behind her, but she maneuvered deftly in order to capture this photo.
�
1/1/2015
guest I can't believe I saw another today. Usually I go months without seeing one. Saw one a few days back and now this pretty 60 on 610 North in Houston this afternoon.
Notice all the other cars on the road, then look at the Tesla - its a lonely little petunia isn't it???
�
1/1/2015
guest I've seen several in northern Virginia.
A grey one next to GMU in Fairfax, yes I was staring at you circle the parking lot.
And a black one on Gallows this morning, yes I was following you�
1/1/2015
guest They are indeed becoming almost common-place in this neck of the woods.�
1/1/2015
guest I'm trying to think of a reasonable way to contribute to this thread, being someone who drives 50,000 miles a year on my ICE around northern California, mainly Silicon Valley, Central Valley and Monterey Bay. I first thought getting a GoPro that I never touch during driving and doing a monthly collage of every sighting in a way that never affects my attention to actual operation of the vehicle, but I keep thinking that would end up being Big Brotherish because it would amount to a partial but substantial record of where almost every regional Tesla frequents. Any fair ideas that doesn't give the whereabouts of every local owner?�
1/1/2015
guest Very cool. Youtube video found advertising this branch:

guest Saw a black P85+ right behind me going north on 95 in NH. It was at 4:40 pm today with the NH plates "warp-9". I was driving so I couldn't get a picture.�
1/1/2015

1/1/2015
guest Today was a rare day in Bergen County NJ for me. 1) About 9:15 AM A gray one Rochelle Ave. turning left to go East on Passaic Street, Rochelle Park 2) 1:45 to 2:15 PM Silver one turned right onto Farveiw Ave, Paramus NJ I love that color 3) One pulled into the Paramus Super Chargers as I stopped to look at a Signature Red one in the lot for sale. 4) As I got on Rte. 17 North at the SC a Black or Blue passed me on 17 North. 3 & 4 were between 2:00 and 2:45 PM.�
1/1/2015
guest I don't drive nearly that much, but do live in the Silicon Valley area. Now that I've been paying attention, I see them all over the place. I think, just today, I spotted at least 4-5 just doing some boring driving around town.�

Sorry about the blurry image -- didn't hold the phone steady, I guess.�
1/1/2015
guest Well, the Monrooney sticker I received on my deposit says the Tesla as being delivered by a truck, but that just isn't the same as the Tesla being a truck and hitting a fire hydrant!�

1/1/2015
guest I wonder if he we going to Birmingham (MI). I just got ice cream down town tonight, and I saw five. Didn't take any pictures, but there were five, excluding mine.�
1/1/2015
guest Out here, I see Teslas all the time. They're commonplace near where I work, and still spotted on frequent occasion everywhere else. They also frequently have creative license plates, and this one was no exception...
�
1/1/2015
guest OK, well that's just freakin cool. I'd love to have had that car as a loaner.
I did see it at the King of Prussia, PA store before.�
1/1/2015
guest Had to rent an ICE in Vancouver BC after flying up here, do really miss my MS. Finally saw a MS85D after 48 hours.

guest I guess it never got donated to the Lars Anderson Museum of Transportation in Brookline? See this thread.�
1/1/2015
guest There were two of them.�
1/1/2015
guest It might be more accepted in Co to park in multiple spots. The outback near us is always packed, parking in multiple spots would certainly upset someone, so I just drop the family off at the door and park in the back 40 away from any and everything :biggrin:.

1/1/2015
guest Pulled in to the car wash[1] last week and noticed this in my rear-camera:
We chatted afterward, and his car is even earlier than my May 2013 S... his is late 2012. There are 3 of us around my home area now... I ended up with a white one behind me this morning.
[1] Cue comments about the dangers of car washes.... hasn't been an issue for me and this ain't the thread...
�
1/1/2015
guest [1] LOL�
1/1/2015
guest I'd never intentionally park like that... begging to get keyed. Between a tight spot and the risk of getting ding'd, or doing that and asking to get vandalized, I'll take my risk with dings.
Of course, if there's a 3rd option to park further away I'd take that... but that's not always an option depending on the location.�
1/1/2015
guest Got a chance to drive over the new segment of the Bay Bridge last week, following this guy. The bridge sure is pretty. The commuter-lane stickers all over the tesla -- not so much.
�
1/1/2015
guest No pic 'cause I was on the phone but about 50 miles to Mitchell, SD from Murdo, on the Westbound side was a Sig Red (we were heading East in our Blue) about 10 minutes ago (3:30pm CDT, May 5th) forgot to train my wife (who is driving this leg) on how to flash the lights to say "hi". Anyone here?�
1/1/2015
guest No pic, again, 'cause we were "orienting" ourselves and heading into Chicago from Aurora...
The nice red Model S that slowed down to greet us in the fast lane and zoomed off yesterday. We were the blue S from California in the #2 lane going at the speed limit (55) not sure where we were headed next, so being efficient with our consumption.�
1/1/2015
guest I see Model Esses regularly enough around here in the Northern VA & Rockville MD areas that I don't post here much any more...
However on Tuesday I was at work in Rockville turning from Halpine Rd. in to the small shopping center (where yummy Armands Pizza is located) when I saw a gray car out of the corner of my eye exiting the Congressional Plaza shopping center on the other side of Halpine. It was either a Lotus or a Roadster. I stole enough of an additional glance over my shoulder to recognize the Tesla Shield emblem on the front.
They are rare enough that I felt it warranted posting[1]. I gave him a thumbs up thru the open pano roof of my Blue Ess... he returned a headlight flash.
Nice ride my man...
[1]Thus breaking the premise of the thread title, sorry�
1/1/2015
guest They are great, there is a thread for Random Roadsters - Random Roadster Sightings�
1/1/2015
guest Hehe, thanks... I wandered over to the Roadster forum a bit after I posted that and found the same. :wink:�
1/1/2015
guest I saw my first MS in the wild today as I was going to pick up my CPO MS. I have seen them parked in the area before but never on the go. I saw it as a good sign as I was getting ready to drive away in my MS.�
1/1/2015
guest This is a first. Spotted one on the other side of a guard rail, WB M-59 west of Ryan. I noticed it when the nose was visible near the gap.
�
1/1/2015
guest Ahh, but what you were really reporting was that the roadster owner had spotted a blue model S with the driver's arm hanging out the pano roof so it's all good!�
1/1/2015
guest That's it! Thanks for the save....:biggrin:�
1/1/2015
guest I work in Manhattan and I'm starting to see loads of MS with New Jersey plates make the commute. Easy run for any MS.�
1/1/2015
guest My niece saw a lovely one in Terra Haute, Indiana today-not the black one I saw there last week.
�
1/1/2015
guest Saw the same Vets S in Manteca SC 4/15/15, clearly Tesla plates.�
1/1/2015
guest I see quite a few here in Austin. I saw 4 today. Black P85D, Black 60, Silver P85, and a nice burgundy colored Model S, not sure of the version though.�
1/1/2015
guest Does this count?
I was browsing for a house on an app called trulia and saw this
The driving directions car looks like a model s�
1/1/2015
guest Cool ! It really does!�
1/1/2015
guest I saw a red Model S rolling down a steep hill last week on some random crappy land road in the middle of nowhere. Who would have thought. ^^*�
1/1/2015
guest That could very well be a Model X. Someone over at Trulia has some foresight; I see the X as a vehicle of choice for smart realtors who'd want to project a certain image. I know my realtor's waiting for one�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a white P85 (might have been a D or a +, didn't get a chance to see it from the back, but noticed the CF spoiler) at the roundabout before Yas Tunnel going into Yas island (in Abu Dhabi, UAE). First Model S sighting (in the wild) in Abu Dhabi. Licence plate was a 3-digit (implying a wealthy individual, as, here in the UAE, the less numbers on the license plate, the higher the price for the license plate).�
1/1/2015
guest I wonder if it was board member Ames�
1/1/2015
guest 
�
1/1/2015
guest No, it wasn't Ames, he has a black 85D on order! It was this one: Tesla Model S P85+ in Oil heaven Dubai (UAE) - YouTube , and this: Ms seen in Abu Dhabi�
1/1/2015
guest I don't see many Teslas around here in North NJ. Maybe one a month or so.
So imagine my surprise when I was taking one of my co-workers out for a ride in my week-old 85D today, and see this Green P85 parked in the lot.
�
1/1/2015
guest Just back from a long weekend in Bay Area and LA. Saw loads of MS in and around Palo Alto and Saratoga, and counted 8 during a five mile run through Beverly Hills at commuting time Monday morning.
I can see why some of the analysts/commentators might think Model S demand is getting saturated if they're looking around themselves in California, but there is still plenty of potential in other states.�
1/1/2015
guest The thing is I spot a new MS with the Zero Emissions placard almost every week. CA has a long way to go before the demand's saturated around here.�
1/1/2015
guest is that small grey car a new Tesla prototype, a Model ED perhaps!�
1/1/2015
guest Nope, thats a Smart Electric Drive (ED): http://www.smartusa.com/models/electric-drive/overview.aspx�

guest Spotted two "randomly" on I-95 on way to Milford SC from NY. A white one going full speed Southbound (around 5pm) and this one ahead of me in bumper to bumper...

�
1/1/2015
guest @AEdennis - taking I-95 was your first mistake�
1/1/2015
guest It's too bad there's no "walkie-talkie" built in to the MS so you could ping/chat with other owners nearby like that just for fun.
"breaker 19-- who's in that grey 85 on I95 N near Milford?"�
1/1/2015
guest 10-4�
1/1/2015
guest 10-100 on the side.�
1/1/2015
guest So we crashed the gate doing eighty-eight
I says "Let them Teslas roll, 10-4."�
1/1/2015
guest So... We were charging at the Hookset, NH (North) SC this afternoon, enroute to our hotel in VT, arriving there a little earlier than we expected, we decided to make a run to ME for dinner and get some lobster, so we decided to Google some places, and decided on the Harbor Porches Restaurant at the Stage Neck Inn.
As we were heading out of the Inn to make the drive back to NH to Supercharge before we get checked into our hotel in VT, and I spotted a white Model S 85D in the parking lot.

We were the Blue Model S from California in the other side of the front parking lot.�
1/1/2015
guest My two dream cars, in one shot!�
1/1/2015
guest That looks like a great place. If you'd have driven up Route 1 a few more miles you could have hit our favorite in Perkins Cove, Barnacle Billy's.
And on your previous post, you had plenty of room on the shoulder to get up there and say hi. I'm sure the MS driver would have let you in�
1/1/2015
guest 
VA visitor on the UWS today. MS 85 looks good on this bucolic block (87th/CPW).�
1/1/2015
guest No pano! That's a first for me. Both at the service center and in the wild. It kinda looked out of place. The white on the back of the roof kinda reminded of the intentional coverings on the Model X mule sightings. It just didn't look right. The rear window looked small.
�
1/1/2015
guest Almost forgot, I had a random sighting yesterday morning while in the presence of a pack of Teslas. Going from Cars & Coffee to breakfast at cracker barrel I spotted a gray Model S two lanes over. All that was visible to me between other cars was the triangular badge on the front fender. Had that owner been paying attention, they would have spotted 5 in a row - Btrflyl8e's Blue Persuasion, FLDarren's Copperhead, my silver Lightning, Great Dane's white P85 and (didn't get his screen name) the other guy's brown Model S.
Something similar happened last month when I was behind Btrflyl8e (she's always in front). I spotted another one who was completely oblivious to us. Sadly, not everyone thinks that sightings are as special as we do.�
1/1/2015
guest I see your crew likes to travel in a pack! That must be a grand sight!�
1/1/2015
guest Is all fun and games until SOMEONE honks at me the NANO-SECOND the light turns green (ahem). You know what an open pano is useful for? A very visible middle finger salute.�
1/1/2015
guest Including my wife... She now claims I'm like a newbie winning Bingo for the first time, and that my arms are waving and my mouth is hollering. Well... she's exaggerating. A little, anyway.
But... by the time the hand appears above the pano, wouldn't you be too far away for anyone to actually recognize the message?�
1/1/2015
guest Not when it's another Tesla (LoLRick)�
1/1/2015
guest When I owned a Delorean, many of us from the East coast would make a bi-annual trip to a national Delorean car show, usually held in the mid-west somewhere. During one trip, I think we had 22 Deloreans all driving down the highway, convoy style. And we'd maintain formation when passing cars.. I usually had a rearward position, and the sight was amazing -- we looked like a 22 segment stainless steel snake weaving around slower traffic. I have a photo somewhere, I'll have to dig it out. For us, seeing a Delorean was an everyday experience, and for other folks seeing ONE on the road brought out all the cameras, cell phones, and thumbs up. But to see 20+ cars at once on the highway? Wow, that was special for even us.�
1/1/2015
guest That sounds awesome! I like to lead the pack because I love looking in any of my mirrors or rearview camera and seeing all those beautiful cat's eyes!�
1/1/2015
guest Ohhhhhh, NOW I get it!!�
1/1/2015
guest Hank, that is awesome!! I think we can sweet-talk the mods for a quick OT for that pic!�
1/1/2015
guest But I was the one that got the finger, not Rick. I was the one behind Btflyl8te. Rick was behind me.�
1/1/2015
guest You were simply in the line of fire.�
1/1/2015
guest Not very l8e-like, if I may say so�
1/1/2015
guest No, but I have to man-up sometimes, hangin' with my Tesla boys!�
1/1/2015
guest Did cellphones have cameras back in the days of Delorean?�
1/1/2015
guest Considering I sold my Delorean last year, yes. And the trips I mention were in 2014, 2012, 2010, 2008, 2006, etc.. also, yes.
Cell phones had cameras long before smartphones hit the market.�
1/1/2015
guest So... still in our East Coast trip and the good folks of the NJEAA had invited me to participate in their EVangelism EVent at Sustainable Morristown Festival Earth! event today (Sunday)...
So, we're the California Model S in this event.

MPT had his Roadster in front...
IMG_0878 by Dennis Pascual, on Flickr
However, on the way to the event, I went to Mass at St. Matthew the Apostle Church at noon (Randolph, NJ) and after the Mass was treated to spot a green Model S in the parking lot...
IMG_20150517_131502 by Dennis Pascual, on Flickr
and another head on view
IMG_20150517_131508 by Dennis Pascual, on Flickr
Would've waited around, but had to make the EVent (which started at noon)...
So, drove into town and spotted a Blue one going the other direction on Speedwell (toward Randolph) as we headed into Morristown. I waved as the person did a doubletake...
Took a picture of a Red One (looks like a Service Loaner) at the Morristown Green...
