    White P85DL with 19" standard rims, Florida tag "Tesla 15" spotted in Charlotte, NC heading Eastbound on US-74 on Friday evening about 7:15 pm.

    Waved at the driver and he gave me a Shake wave hello. Excited to see a traveler in these parts!

    In the parking lot of my hotel in Bellevue earlier this afternoon...

    My car's twin from ARK charging on the 40A circuit, left us the 80A to use...

    I saw a black, refreshed Model S in Salem on Tuesday. I was turning around on Capitol when I looked up and saw the S go by. I haven't seen another refresh in the wild (though I have one).

    You randomly saw your model s? :)


    I swear I'm not following you! I think I'm being drawn to your car by entering threads where photos of "it" has been posted

    This is incredibly random, or something. I recently drove to Charlotte for work, and took Thursday afternoon through Sunday at the end of that trip to visit friends who live in nearby Lake Wylie, SC. They took Friday off, and we made a day trip to Asheville. Of course, I drove.

    After I got back to FL, I got a PM from another TMC member, from GA, asking if that was me leaving the Asheville Supercharger! I had indeed passed my nearly-identical Tesla twin on my way out, and waved at them like a complete idiot. They seemed excited to see me, too, and waved back. Yup, what are the odds that it WAS a chance TMC encounter away from home for us both AND that they would even think it might be me!

    Thought of you when I read this post! :) Tearing up the highways with your friends?

    I'm visiting Stockholm, Sweden... In past couple days I've seen a couple different Model S, including three Model S taxi sightings (likely just the same one, three different times). Didn't have my camera handy the first couple times, but this afternoon I caught this photo:

    ... I'm visiting Copenhagen and wasn't expecting to see many Teslas in this small country, but then I spotted at least six different ones this afternoon all in the same general area. (And that's not counting the one in the local Tesla Store which I also coincidentally stumbled upon later the same day)

    Had a nice chat with the Advisor in the Tesla Store... I was surprised to hear that there are about 4,000 Model S in Denmark (pop. 5.7M)... now it makes more sense why I saw so many driving around town. Other interesting tidbit: he told me taxes on ICE cars include the normal 25% VAT tax that's on everything, PLUS another 180% license registration tax !! If I understood correctly, EVs also have the 25% VAT but this registration tax lowered to 20% - though I later read the government is phasing out this EV incentive completely by 2020. Wow, cars are expensive here (like everything else) - no wonder everyone here rides a bicycle.

    A few of the random Model S I spotted here today:

    Tesla had a huge sales surge in Denmark at the end of last year because the tax holiday on EVs was expiring, or at least partially expiring at the end of the year. Tesla was hustling to get as many cars to Denmark as possible before the end of the year. When I read about the car taxes there I thought they were insane.

    I've read because of the big sales surge, Tesla's service centers there are overwhelmed and it takes a couple of months to get an appointment.

    Seen by a friend yesterday.


    "I think a Tesla test vehicle was on the roads outside Ann Arbor today. CA mfg plates with a fair bit of wiring in the passenger area. Weird plate then [sic] protruding on the bumper."

    Thanks JB!

    That looks like the same test car that was photographed at a supercharger few months back. It has all sorts of extra hardware including what appears to be an AP 2 sensor suite along with an AP 1 sensor suite. People speculated they are comparing the data from both.

    I am always looking for one but here in NY there are not many. Over 2500 registered but it's a big state :) Saw one on the way upstate Monday and my daughter and her friends were admiring it as we passed it, in my Yukon :) (older lady driving) It was interesting to them because I pick mine up tomorrow!

    a few days ago I commented on my surprise seeing so many Model S here while visiting Copenhagen... (I still can't get over how expensive car taxes are here in Denmark). Every day while walking around I'll see 6 or 7 MS within any half an hour span, so no point taking pics of them all.

    But just one more before we leave, this one of a 70 and an 85 in the parking lot at Christiansborg Palace - also home of the Danish Parliament. The driver of the 70 on the left I assume was a politician or gov't worker - he parked in the EV spot without plugging into the charger! I also notice the 2 chargers here don't show up on PlugShare, perhaps they are for gov't employees only. The charger cable seems detachable on both ends, not sure how that works, maybe it is somehow stored inside the pedestal when not in use... Or do drivers have to bring their own cable?

    Ran into a Model S outside Rum Club today. First time I have seen one there.

    "Ran into" probably isn't the best choice of words ;). "Spotted" might be better.

    Why is the charging port door open? Someone trying to siphon electrons and got scared off? :)

    a final random sighting from a visit to Scandinavia, this distinctive Model S spotted in picturesque Geiranger, Norway - population 250 (if you exclude the many thousands of cruise ship tourists visiting). didn't know at the time but seems the car is owned by a local chocolate shop.

    I know there are many Tesla Model S in Norway, and did spot a number in the various other towns we visited, but this was the only Tesla I saw in this particular town. There were however a lot of Renault Twizy electric cars for rent, and even a large public EV charging lot, with over 20 electric chargers and a Chademo station too (not listed on Plugshare I notice).

    Random because of the plate...

    ...in California.

    I was at the Torrance Service Center.

    They usually get Model S before it leaves the Port of LA/Long Beach...

    Thought it was a Turkish Model S, but it turns out it was a new California one that has not received its US plate yet and decided to mount a Turkish one.

    That's really the best place to see one, AMIRITE?

    I could be wrong but this doesn't look like a new refresh to me given the chrome underneath in the back and the vinyl underneath.

    New to the owner... Could be CPO, like I said, the Turkish plate caught my eye. Tracked down the owner and got the answer (he hasn't received his California plate yet and just mounted the Turkish one decoratively)

    Yesterday, as I was running my errands, I saw a Model S heading northeast on Plymouth Rd. After an intervening car, there was *another* Model S! Typically, you see maybe one a month -- but, wait, there's more! I saw another one heading west on Ellsworth Rd., and a little while later I saw a FOURTH Model S heading south on Carpenter Rd.! I've never seen so many Teslas in the space of an hour -- crazy! I'm sure the fact that it was football Saturday had something do to with it, but still -- it would probably have been way more likely to see four Ferraris in an hour. I still can't believe it...

    When I was visiting CHI two weeks ago I saw a chrome wrapped S in downtown. Also a white S parked in a parking zone in front of some condo or other... I saw more S's in CHI in 4 days than I have since I moved to Houston in June of this year.

    I have seen two refreshed S's in the last 5 days here in Houston. One was a black 70D on the 290 West in Cypress-ish area. The other was just yesterday, white refresh (Sunday) going Westbound on the 99 Tollway while I was traveling EB.

    No nods, no waves, no smirks/smiles/acknowledgements... so odd about Tesla's... of all the cars you would think we would acknowledge each other with a smile or whatnot...!

    Don't feel too bad. Even the Porsche double flash died ten'ish years ago.

    My daughter said she saw a Model S in my town the other day. Apparently I have some competition now :)

    Wow. I've seen two within a few minutes on a few occasions during my commute, but those were the only ones I saw all day if not week. I had to go on a 4000 mile Supercharger trip to see four Teslas within an hour just once, of course all at a Supercharger. It was at St. Joseph on the way back on June 26, with two Model X's and two Model S's seen in the hour I was there.

    Maybe the chromed car you saw was this one:

    In Feb 2014 I was on a trip to Vientiane, Laos and was really surprised to spot a brand new Model S parked on the street a few blocks from my hotel.

    A couple of days later I was walking by the same place and saw an lady leave the building where the tesla was parked - she was in the process of taking out the trash. I struck up a conversation with her in broken French about the Tesla. She explained that it was her car, and that her husband had purchased it for "her" during a trip to Palo Alto. The only problem, she explained, was that she didn't know how to drive.

    I bet that was it.

    On another note, I did see ANOTHER refresh-er last night at my local HEB grocery store off Fry Road in Cypress. P90D with two child seats in the back :) Might have been roomier to get an X at that point?
