guest Sorry no VIN pics. If you live close all those cars will be moved back outside on Monday am. And I am pretty sure there was no grey, both were the new "silver".�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a nice P85D on the street in Minneapolis yesterday. Had 21" rims but didn't see if they were stock tires (not good for cold weather) or they were winter or all-season tires. It was below 32 when I took this pic.
And I also saw another "Model S" at the Minneapolis Institute of Art:
�
1/1/2015
guest Yeah, I should stop calling it grey. I ordered a midnight silver. The closest one looked like it could have been it. I will certainly swing by on Monday to take a peek.�
1/1/2015
guest They park the cars on the south side of the building if you don't already know what....easy access from 72nd Ave.:-(�
1/1/2015
guest I am confused why silver is in quotes. We're this the dark gray cars currently called "Midnight Silver Metallic" or the restored silver cars called "Silver Metallic"?�
1/1/2015
guest Both of them where Titanium Metallic. No gray, no silver.�
1/1/2015
guest Ahh, titanium, not gray or "silver". Much clearer. Thank you.�
1/1/2015
guest maybe I'm just getting bored waiting for my own delivery... (you know, repeatedly refreshing My Tesla page all day, endlessly reading every TMC subforum...)
so I thought I'd chime in on this thread, even though on any typical day around these parts I might spot at least 4 or 5 different Model S driving around town. So not so rare anymore, but this time I was walking and snapped a pic. Charging at the community centre, a white 85 with personalized plates visiting from out of town (welcome!)

guest On Beltway 8 in Houston today.
�
1/1/2015
guest Ok this won't make sense to ... 99,980/100,000-ish owners, assuming there's now about 20 or so Model S in Victoria by now. But seeing 3 in the space of � hour has to warrant a post.
1. In front of Royal Oak School about 6:05pm, being dark I couldn't see the colour or plate; I was walking to the parking lot
2. 15 minutes later, exchanged waves at intersection Douglas & Broughton with what looked either silver or titanium with a personalized plate; howdy!
3. Just down the street from the wave, a parked MC red�

�
1/1/2015
guest Another 85D spotted in Istanbul today... It's crazy when you remember they are not selling to Turkey yet...
�
1/1/2015
guest Thinking about the logistics there... I'm guessing you would take delivery of the car in western Europe and then drive it back to Turkey? Closest store is in Austria. And that last supercharger stop in Croatia probably won't be enough to get you home.�
1/1/2015
guest 
At IKEA in Tampa, just a few minutes ago! I know this car...I tried to get in it by mistake at the Don Garlits event!�
1/1/2015
guest I know IKEA is big on solar, so had to take a look on GMaps. Wow, that roof is loaded. Also noticed that the inside of the building is mapped, which I knew was a feature for a while, but I think it's the first time I've seen it.
I had another good sighting about a month ago on NB Rochester that I didn't post. Pretty sure it's the same one with tinted windows I've seen many times before on Rochester going the opposite direction. This is the first time I saw the plate, let alone seen it on my side of the road. It passed me kind of quickly and I couldn't clearly see through the tint for a wave.
Also, on the 1st, I saw two just 2 minutes apart on the other side (NB) of M-59, at around 8:25am. They were too small and blurry in the dashcam capture to be worth posting. That was the third time I saw two in one day. The first time, coincidentally, was on the morning of Dec. 1st last year, just 1 minute apart on the other side (EB) of Hall. Second time was on the evening of June 30, 7 minutes apart on the other side (SB) of Stephenson and Rochester.
Is it "normal" that I've kept such detailed data on all my sightings for over 2 years and 60 sightings? Apparently I'm not only obsessed with Tesla, but spreadsheets too. I can't wait until I see so many that I can't keep up with the log and give up on it, as what happened with my Volt log just before my first Tesla sighting.�

guest Allen, TX
Found a new blue parked in front of my old (very dirty!) blue at the Target in the Village of Allen (TX) shopping center
�
1/1/2015
guest Or you could, you know, ship it.�
1/1/2015
guest Well, yeah, sure. OK. Fine.
But it could also be a reason to do a road trip across Serbia and Bulgaria. Plovdiv looks like an amazing city to visit. Of course, several of the enthusiastic blog articles that show up in a search for "bulgarian road trip" mention the fact that Bulgaria feels "off the grid" to a large extent, so I'd imagine you'd need to research the available charging options carefully.�
1/1/2015
guest Last March, while taking my first REAL road trip in my Metallic Blue Model S, I stayed at the Luxor Hotel in Vegas. I parked in their parking garage, as far away as I could get from the hotel entrance, just being paranoid of the other guests parking skills. First trip to my car after I checked in, and a beautiful brown Model S (from Florida) had parked next to me! I felt honored. Fun to have a Hawaii car parked next to a Florida car, in Vegas, no less.
�

Odd directions considering the map is showing Seattle and both bodies of water shown are fresh water. You're about 75 miles from the Pacific there...�
1/1/2015
guest I couldn't tell you why Google Maps returned those results - just that it did and I took that screenshot myself. I was in North Carolina when I keyed in that lookup.�

guest Visiting South Florida today and decided to check out the destination chargers at the Bal Harbour Shopping Center...
Saw a couple of Model S using them in Blue Ground Level C and E.

1/1/2015
guest We were eating dinner in a restaurant tonight and I saw what looked like the taillight pattern of a Model S in the unlit parking lot. It looked like a white or silver car, but could just barely make out the silhouette. I went out to grab some cash from my SO's car's console to pay the bill and sure enough, it was a white Model S. Oddly the badge on the right side of the trunk was missing so I don't know the battery size or whether it was RWD or AWD. I took a picture while we were leaving.
�
1/1/2015
guest Probably a 2012 or early 2013 car. Tesla didn't put model identifying badges on their cars for the first 7-8 months of production. My January 2013 Model S has no "S60" badge.�
1/1/2015
guest Just noticed it posted a huge copy upside down too. I thought I had deleted that. Now it won't delete it for some reason.
I thought it might be the nice forum member who gave me a test drive when I first joined, he has a very early, white Model S, but the guy who walked in the restaurant with his wife was a different person.�
1/1/2015
guest You can delete the upside down copy by editing your post, selecting the "Go Advanced" option, and then selecting the "Manage Attachments" option. Once there, just delete the upside down photo attachment, and then save your edit.
(It took me a little while to figure that out too!�

Spotted this Model S while out shopping. Initially I thought it was a Sig Red S however when it drove by it looked almost orange. Unfortunately I was in the wrong lane to get it going by.�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a classic blue P85+ with Florida plate BSI C02 on I-95 Southbound at Sample Road in Deerfield Beach. I saw them coming up and waved out my window. Male drive and female passenger waved ecstatically back.
I drove 800 miles to South Florida and that was my only spotting the whole way down (excluding Superchargers). Saw lots of travelers this weekend, so I'll spare everyone the photographs of those.�
1/1/2015
guest Virginia tagged 85D in old blue spotted on I-95 Northbound at Palmetto Park Rd in Boca Raton at 1:30 pm on Tuesday 12/22. The female driver and male passenger ecstatically waved. Might have something to do with my car having NC plates.

Pre-Autopilot Tesla Model S, debadged, dark green, 21" silver turbines. Texas license plate "IAMBORG". Eastbound on Westpark Tollway 12/26/2015 11:00 AM.�
1/1/2015
guest Woo woo woo. Hold the presses! That looks like an EV1, but I thought GM forced every one of them to be crushed?!?�
1/1/2015
guest
I believe there was a single intact one donated to the Smithsonian, and a few others that were mechanically and electrically disabled that still exist in a few research labs.�
1/1/2015
guest There's atleast one other functional one sitting in Francis Ford Coppola's vineyard in Northern California. Jay Leno paid him a visit in a Model S recently:
Jay Leno Races Tesla in his 427 Cobra
Coppola apparently hid it when GM came around looking to crush it.�
1/1/2015
guest I'd be surprised if they didn't charge him with theft. GM only leased those cars and they wanted their property back. GM did donate a number of disabled EV-1s to museums and such. I believe the only one that is still operational is the one in the Smithsonian.�
1/1/2015
guest The references I've seen suggest that about 40 were donated to various educational institutions and museums, though all except the one given to the Smithsonian were deactivated in some way.

This one was riding high enough that I imagine it doesn't have a battery pack.
But if you're in Cleveland and want to see it, it's in the Western Reserve Historical Society basement, along with an eclectic collection of other cars (including a DeLorean and three other stainless steel cars).
�
1/1/2015
guest We had a Delorean convention in Cleveland, oh back in 2000 and went to this museum and saw these Stainless cars. Really impressive in person (along with one of three gold plate Deloreans).
I'm pretty sure the Peterson Museum in LA has an EV1 in the basement.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw a tweet from someone (don't remember who) on the recent re-opening of the Petersen that shows that EV1 in a more prominent non ICE section of the collection. It used to be in the basement (special admission/extra admission). Chelsea Sexton was seen visiting that car in either Who Killed the Electric Car or Revenge of the Electric Car (I don't remember which one).
There's also another EV1 in LA at the Nethercutt Museum.�
1/1/2015
guest I don't like to continue off-topic discussions, but I can't not post this...
Here's a photo I took in 2012 of an EV1 at the Ford Museum. I don't know which one it was or where it is now. It was gone last I was there.
�
1/1/2015
guest I also don't like to continue off-topic, but I have to admit this thread reminded me to watch WKTEC and ROTEC again�
1/1/2015
guest The one in the Smithsonian was driven by a co-worker of mine, who recently took delivery of a Model S and is now on the forum here. I won't name names, for privacy, but he might chime in.�
1/1/2015
guest Let me add front and rear views of EV-1 located at The Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar, CA. I got a kick out of the description of the 1914 electric sitting next to EV-1:
"...Today's electric car technology has not advanced much beyond this 1914 example."

Although this probably doesn't count as "random", I figured I'd post it here anyway. I've been on travel for most of the last 3 months, but back at my normal work location today. At lunchtime, I noticed another Model S parked next to me in our parking lot. It's the first 70 I've seen on island. Given that there are only about 50 or so Model S on Maui, I think it is pretty cool.�
1/1/2015
guest This was in front of the Greenville, SC Hyatt for a wedding. Car had New Jersey plate. It was back on 11/28, I just forgot to post.

guest White Model S (not close enough to see the badge) across from the Longacre Theater in Manhattan where "Allegiance" just let out. Doesn't George Takei drive an S? The people all around me found it curious that I wasn't taking any pictures with the actors, but asking them to move so I could get an unobstructed pic of the car.

We almost got all three Teslas at my son's school lined up for parent-teacher conference day, and since we didn't plan it this way I'm going to declare it belongs in the "random" thread. :biggrin:
(The silver Model S in the back is mine, and the two in front belong to one of the other families at school. The outlier is my wife's BMW 335d. We were joking about making her move so we could get all the Teslas together.)

1/1/2015
guest How is it possible an EV1 was seen driving?
I thought GM disabled the few they allowed to be saved by museums and the rest destroyed.�
1/1/2015
guest I was wondering the same. The only EV1 that was not disabled was the one given to the Smithsonian, since they only take intact specimens. However, according to Wikipedia, some deactivated EV1s were later reactivated against their agreements.�
1/1/2015
guest Francis Ford Coppola has an EV-1 that works. Jay Leno included it in a recent episode of his current show online.�
1/1/2015
guest I don't know if this counts as a Random Sighting...
A group of local owners got together for lunch today. Someone driving by snapped this picture (so Random Sighting to him), and posted about it on Reddit. In our town, it still is pretty uncommon to see a Tesla, let alone a group of them together.�
1/1/2015

guest I'm in Oslo right now and it's great seeing all the MS here. The D probably is great in the winter months.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw this one in downtown Vancouver, WA today. What was funny was I had a feeling to look around the parking lot to look for Tesla's when I left the building. I had given up and was getting into my car when I looked up and saw this P85. I saw a black one on SR14 on my way there. The first two Teslas I've seen in weeks.
