guest This VW Beetle conversion is very nice.
I've done my own conversion, VW New Beetle '01, and put LiFePo batteries in there. 60+ miles on a charge. Picture attached. I did sell it this past summer to help raise $$ for the Tesla.
Anyway, electric conversions have been a nice segue while waiting for our Model S deliveries!�

guest It looks like there's the word "Founder" etched on the right side of the chrome strip, just a few inches from the right rear tail light.�
1/1/2015
guest I'm pretty sure it says "Signature" but I could be wrong. On of the nice things about iPad browsing is the ability to zoom in easily.�

guest Heehee! Maybe, but definitely if you start following one. If it's a cute girl I won't mind them stalking me when I get mine.�
1/1/2015
guest How about a reverse Model S sighting? I got a huge kick today driving by a fellow who was acting like a salesman showing his Aston Martin DB9 to a potential customer on our very light traffic road. As I drove by, I hollered "Get a Tesla", and the sales-looking guy gave a weak laugh, and the potential customer just stared. I don't think the sales guy appreciated his Random Sighting.
And for the obligatory picture (of my car, not the DB9), VIN # 00064
�
1/1/2015
guest Every time I see pic of your car, I love your custom brown more.�
1/1/2015
guest ... I guess I am officially a Model S stalker.. I spotted this at UTC mall in La Jolla, CA ... sig red tan interior. I was running late to Yoga, so the pic of the vin is too blurry to discern anything...
- - - Updated - - -
The pic was right side up on my computer... Mods?�
1/1/2015
guest heh, that's odd. Did you rotate it on your PC, but not save it?�
1/1/2015
guest My dad had a iPhone 3G and he takes pictures 'upside down'. The phone shows them properly, and when he imports them to his iPhoto they still are the correct orientation. But when he sends them out via message/email from either location they end up upside down.
My brother and I pummel him to no end about his pictures being upside down every time.
I think Apple does some external or other such voodoo to show pictures in the correct orientation, but fail to modify the actual image.�
1/1/2015
guest If I save that image on disk and open it with Picasa it have a correct orientation... If I open it in Paint or Paint.NET - it is upside down. But Picasa is my default viewer.
Image probably have some Exif property that is not recognized correctly by most software, including this forum one...�
1/1/2015
guest Ahh here it is. In the metadata there is an 'orientation' field that flips the image 'rotate 180'. I am assuming that apple and google use it and other image software does not.

guest My Model S fix for Election Day:
�
1/1/2015
guest Um, today I've learned that I need to strip metadata from things before posting them on forums... My "PC" is running 10.6 - I didn't use iphoto to import this one and it still showed right side up... Well at least now you know your dad is competent...�
1/1/2015
guest Other than GPS data, there isn't a whole lot that is really worth anything. Other than say for a photographer to see what sort of exposure you took.
I just assumed iPhoto because that is what my dad uses. I always thought it was some metadata telling his apple products to rotate it. It still doesn't change the fact his pictures are upside down, he just can't tell.�
1/1/2015
guest Why, Thank You. You and gg_wants_a_Tesla are my biggest fans.
We thought at the time it was a huge hunk of change, but EVERYbody notices the Hershey Brown. Not everyone seems to care that our car is a little slower than a Performance. It was worth it.�
1/1/2015
guest This used to get me every time too. Now I display the picture on my computer and take a screenshot of it to post (cmd-shift-4 on your "PC"). Correct orientation, all metadata gone, and smaller file size. #tipoftheday�
1/1/2015
guest Am I correct in thinking that your brown has more metal flake in it than the standard Tesla metallics as well? We met briefly at the Get Amped event in Fremont when you had just gotten the little sample, and I thought I remembered that it had more sparkle.�
1/1/2015
guest Wait, is yours a custom brown? Or is it the "Brown Metallic Paint" that is an option in the Design Studio?�
1/1/2015
guest It's custom. Brown was not offered in Sigs.�
1/1/2015
guest I was in Los Gatos this morning and spotted my first Model S in the wild. Signature red with black leather - spectacular!
VIN was over 845.

guest Black on Black in West Los Angeles
Gorgeous black with 21" silver wheels spotted on Pico in West Los Angeles this morning. Was really glad to see this one and to see it looked awesome, since it appeared to have black interior (could not tell what material on dashboard, but seat leather looked to be black) and I am getting the same configuration. On the other hand, I am bummed that having downgraded from Sig list I am still many months away and this dude has it now. Too bad I could not get a pic of the huge smile on the owner's face, but he sure looked to be enjoying his ride...
�
1/1/2015
guest It is Chocolate Pearl custom. There were only a couple custom colors painted and then they decided it wasn't worth the effort. I have not seen enough of the Tesla brown, although it looks more like a Bronze.�
1/1/2015
guest I agree. When I went to the Dania Beach store I was leaning towards Brown. But it really is bronze color and not so much brown. I ended up going with the green.�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted one on the Fox Lot, Black with Silver wheels. Anyone here?�
1/1/2015
guest Fox as in Murdoch, Fox News? You may have just got them fired.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw this Sunday in Portland, OR around 3pm at Glisan and 12th. Was kind of in a hurry, so it's a lousy pic, but this is now the second Model S (the other being Pearl White) that I've seen in Portland.
�
1/1/2015
guest My first thought was "that's NOT a Model S", then I noticed the car in the background.

1/1/2015

�
1/1/2015
guest Yeah, The two don't have much to do with each other politically.�
1/1/2015
guest Probably the one I spotted on Pico, which was headed toward the Fox lot entrance. See post 669 in this thread. Older gent driving, but did not recognize him.�

1/1/2015
guest 132? Is that you?�
1/1/2015
guest Not me. When I picked mine up there was another sig red performance waiting to be claimed. The only difference was it had a black interior. 4 were delivered to portland that week. 2 red, 1 white and 1 black.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a very pretty Signature Red on Highway 280S near Cupertino today. Had the front plate on, which didn't look terrible. The daytime running lights sure make the car hard to miss when it comes up on you in your mirrors!�
1/1/2015
guest Saw three today, but only caught one of them parked. VIN 437 in Redwood City.

guest Went 4 miles round trip to pick up some bachelor food in my Volt. Saw a sig red with performance wheels south bound on San Tomas Expressway while waiting at a light. Also in that 4 mile trip I saw two other Volts and a Leaf. Bay Area rocks!�
1/1/2015
guest Well, at least in California, I think you can wait six months before having to put plates on.�
1/1/2015
guest RobLab: Just curious...Appears the driver is in the right seat. Is this a photographic "flip" or has Angwin been annexed by England?�
1/1/2015
guest Or he got out of the drivers' seat, walked ahead, turned around and took a picture of his car with a passenger still in the passenger seat.�

guest Supercharging in Gilroy
My daughter was in a soccer tournament today and I drove by the Superchargers in Gilroy. There were two Model S connected to the Superchargers.
Both cars were gleaming in the sunshine!
(You can see two J1772 charging stations in the background in the third photo.)�
1/1/2015
guest I have to say my black car looks pretty good! Lol. My husband took me shopping at the outlets today and to see the superchargers there. They work exceptionally well!
Suzanne�
1/1/2015
guest Nice shots! I suppose it was a coincidence that both were in use, but I am glad Tesla started with two chargers already.
Thanks for letting us know! More detail welcome�

guest All the more reason to back into parking spaces.�
1/1/2015
guest Uh oh, the nose was well over the parking curb too. Hope the owner didn't have a stevezzzz-special nose vs curb incident subsequently...�
1/1/2015

OT...paint armor is barely visible.�

guest Sig Model S in San Diego!
I saw this one in the Gaslamp quarter in San Diego today. Sig VIN 75.
My very, very first Model S in-the-wild glimpse! Test drive cars don't count, in my opinion.
Congratulations to the owner! I tried to keep my fellow gawkers away.

guest Can you imagine pulling up to that charging station in a Model S at that time? I mean, how much would it suck that with <1000 deliveries made to find both stations occupied...�
1/1/2015
guest At the event in NY tonight there were 3 in the garage where we parked (2 red, 1 black). Also saw one on the cross Bronx expressway on my way to take momma home�
1/1/2015

The driver was standing next to the car, being written a ticket by a cop. She said the driver was smiling anyway.�

Maybe he was 'pulling a Woz' i.e. getting a ticket for doing over 100 mph simply to publicize that electric cars are not wimpy.

1/1/2015
guest Doh! Sorry, not familiar with the area and the timing was so close. Good indication there are getting to be more and more out in the wild with two reports of police with a Model S at close to the same time�

guest I think that's Dadelus'.�
1/1/2015
guest OK, weirdness...
My son and I have gone to same Home Depot twice in the last three days and both times spotted (different) Model S in the parking lot. First time a white Performance and second time the beauty below. Is Home Depot the new hotbed for spotting Tesla? Either way, good to see that Model S owners are do-it-yourselfers...
�
1/1/2015
guest Just think of all the home improvement supplies you can fit into the two trunks!�
1/1/2015
guest I have a Home Depot ~80 miles north of me. I plan on making excuses to drive there once I have my S. It is the perfect distance to have fun and the drive is pretty damn beautiful too (the north most end of CA 101)�
1/1/2015
guest Probably getting the parts and pieces they need to finish off the charging situation for their garages!�
1/1/2015
guest Our Home Depot has a few J1772 plugs out front!
Since the S holds as much as SUV then why not take it to the store to load up?�
1/1/2015
guest First spotting in Maryland, I think. This one a a University of Maryland lot. Photo taken and emailed to me by a fellow Chevy Volt owner who knows I have a Model S on reservation.

guest Not me. My plate is 4GET OIL.
Too bad I missed Green Speed. We're close... Up in Big Bear with the S tonight.�
1/1/2015
guest
They were probably all there to but the parts needed to jury-rig a bunch a of non-UL electrical adapters together in their home garages, lik a NEMA 14-50r to 6-50P, etc, etc. They can be made at home for about 1/4 the cost of buying them from the (ahem) manufacturer, or so the rumor goes....
Cheers.�
1/1/2015
guest Ah, then it's Gregg... he was the other Model S at San Diego plug in day. I just knew I remembered the VIN. I don't think he reads this forum.�
1/1/2015
guest The wife saw one in the Portland, OR Pearl district near Traders Vic's about a week ago. I think she said it was white. Bummed I didn't catch it, I was already inside the restaurant waiting for her.�
1/1/2015
guest Unless it's a custom color/wrap, it has to be Pearl (limited Sig colors).�
1/1/2015
guest Today in Westlake CA. After talking with my driver for nearly an hour about how he should get one, we pull up behind this. Driver had two passengers and was clearly giving rides.

That's my son, right after his Thanksgiving performance at his school...

1/1/2015
guest Please pass on my congratulations, admiration, and apology for stalking.
I was there all week, and they were parked there for several days, I wish I'd had time to go door-to-door to say "Hi!" to the owner.�

guest Parked in 2 spots�
1/1/2015
guest It appears he's parked far away from the store so that shouldn't present a problem to anyone, but typically taking two spots with an expensive car is just asking for getting keyed.�
1/1/2015
guest Now that just shows s/he's a rich person who is good with his/her hands or will take care of things on his/her own.
The jag at Walmart suggests the owner is cheap or can't afford the jag.

1/1/2015
guest I could not agree with you more. It is such a horrible statement that the person thinks they are more important or better than everyone else because they bought an expensive car. If you can afford the car then you can afford the ding repair like everyone else.
That person is a Jackass with a capital J.
just MHO.
Cheers.
- - - Updated - - -
I agree with this comment but often hear it the other way around, as in: "the Model S looks like the new Jag from the rear" I make efforts to point out that the design for the exterior of the Model S was made public well before the Jag was coming off the line. Jag totally stole the look from Tesla. While Tesla should be flattered, I was disappointed in Jaguar for this. They never should have gone to Ford... it was all downhill from there.
Again, Just my opinion.
Cheers.�
1/1/2015
guest I was there when the car was parked. Guy complained about not having any side visibility with the top up, decided to take his chances as opposed to reparking since it was so far out.�

guest No photos, but saw two Sig S's charging at Fashion Island, one sig red, the other silver. No charging available, but parked my Sig S with them.�
1/1/2015
guest While I agree it's a stupid maneuver ... I appreciate the reasoning. People are so f-ing inconsiderate of other people's hard work and the end results ... The keying is deserved by the ahole who is so careless to cause the ding in the first place.�
