guest Saw another S while driving around
I am one of very few model S owners in the Sacramento area, and was driving across the causeway a couple of days ago. What a nice surprise to see another owner drive up next to me!! We are a small group of people these days and I feel that we are automatically comrades on the road. We drove back and forth for a few miles and enjoyed watching each other's cars until it came time for the other owner to get off the freeway. From the map on this forum, it seems there are just a few of us in the valley. Nice seeing you on the road whomever you are in the white Model S from downtown Sac area...�
1/1/2015
guest Greetings to whoever was driving the blue (I think) Model S this evening on Ralston Avenue in Belmont, near Lunardi's Market. I was the guy you waved to, in the white Model S.

guest dadaleus: how long did it take until you got your HOV stickers?
- - - Updated - - -
Pulled into the Westin St. Francis in SF Sat afternoon. Valet comes up: "cool...this is our second one today...we park these where people can see them." And points at the other blue one in front of me. Of course they don't have any charging capability yet. However, at $51 per nite for parking that's more than my monthly "eFuel" bill now.�
1/1/2015
guest so it was almost like a random Model S sighting? cool...�
1/1/2015
guest yesterday around 3:45 Thousand Oaks turning onto Kanan from Trader Joes freeway frontage street. Black.
No picture but saw this home page:
Hilarious because Tesla is not even listed as a manufacturer.�
1/1/2015
guest I am seeing one almost every day now in the La Jolla/Del Mar/RSF region of North San Diego. Pretty soon this thread will become obsolete!---that will be a good thing. BLINK lists 300 L1/L2 chargers in the area--more than the LA Basin.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a record number of Model S today (and was nowhere near work, the factory, or Palo Alto).
Driving north on 101 from Gilroy (Costco run), saw one at the supercharger, then immediately saw a car carrier with 8 on it (only two were covered). About 5 miles north of this, saw another car carrier with 10 on it (only two were covered again).
Sorry, no pics, but it did happen (I was driving in a much too spirited manner to take pics!)�
1/1/2015
guest I believe it was 33 days. It was a while ago and I posted about it here somewhere.�
1/1/2015
guest Not quite yet!
I have yet to see a single Model S on the road out in the western suburbs of Chicago...�
1/1/2015
guest Just saw a black one coming up Third Ave at 44th. I tried to get a pic, but managed to only drop my phone... but not my coffee!�
1/1/2015
guest While car pooling in the HOV lane with another EV driver s/b on 280 towards CA 85 into the West Valley last Thursday afternoon between 3:30 and 4, I spotted a white MS ahead of me ... just after I got on at Page Mill Rd. Within minutes at the turn off to Giloy in Cupertiono we passed another one, a grey driven by a woman (with a pony tail...) and finally just before turning off in Saratoga passed another Red Signature. All were occupied by only the driver (no stickers yet), and in all cases (being a loud NY-raised driver) I honked obnoxiously in passing while we waving furiously! The drivers turned their heads, wondering!
For a 25 minute ride - I felt three sitings was impressive! They are becoming more frequent in the Silicon Valley, but still not common place. Go Tesla!
And so much for sharing our exuberance! :biggrin:�
1/1/2015
guest Great, so hopefully next week or so. After today's 40 mile commute tool me almost 2 hours, I can't wait!�
1/1/2015
guest Finally.
Not truly random, but it was random that I saw it because on a whim I took a different route to work. Still, it's a sighting. Seems to be handling the Chicago salt just fine...
�
1/1/2015
guest Got a text from a friend in Reno last night. She saw a white Model S. She was going to take a picture, but her precocious six-year-old told her it was rude to take a picture without the person knowing it. While trying to explain to her that it was... you know... for science, traffic started moving again and the car turned.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a white MS on the 87N to 101 ramp in this mornings commute. You were in the carpool lane. I had two immediate thoughts when I saw you:
1. Lucky you to use the carpool lane while I'm stuck on this awful connector ramp.
2. Two months from now I'll be the lucky guy in that carpool lane! :biggrin:
I do have to say that for living in Silicon Valley, I don't see as many MSes as you would think. I see a couple around the fruit company in Cupertino near my client's office, and some on the 85 corridor around Sunnyvale/Mountain View/Los Altos, but not too many in the south bay area around San Jose. Maybe I haven't been travelling far enough north to the land of Google and Facebook.�
1/1/2015
guest This was my first (and so far only) random Model S sighting in the wild - a Signature Red driving by the Cambridgeside Galleria mall at noon on January 3. I guess there still aren't many in the Boston area, but I will be adding to the tally in a month or two.

guest My wife txt me saying she saw a silver S driving in the parking lot near Taco Cabana on Wyoming & Momtgomery, but didn't have time to snap a picture. She had never seen one in person before.
tasolomon, terry pierce, someone else on this forum, was this you?
My wife said the silver was really pretty in the sun. Glad we're getting silver too!�
1/1/2015
guest In a word...HIGH.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw my first S in the wild..a silver one behind me westbound on 24 near the Lafayette turnoff...glanced in the rearview mirror and there was no doubt what I was seeing. The silver was an awesome color and I think you will be delighted with it.�
1/1/2015
guest I saw the same black Model S twice today. The first sighting was on my way to work at the four-way stop sign at the intersection of Mays Chapel Road and Jennifer Road. I was headed north east on Mays Chapel, the Model S south east on Jennifer.
The second sighting was on my way home, again on Mays Chapel. It was about 5 cars ahead of me on Falls Road. It turned right on Seminary and in a flash kept ahead about 200 yards, then turned left up Mays Chapel. I pursued but with a number of slower cars between us it was futile. It then turned right on Timonium Road. I was tempted to follow but thought that might be annoying to the driver. But it appears I now have one in my neighborhood.
What are the odds that I'd see the same care twice in the same day? Very long.�
1/1/2015
guest Hehe.�
1/1/2015
guest PCH Northbound Wed morn 6:30 AM North just North of the Palisades. Pretty hard to get a picture of opposing oncoming traffic.�
1/1/2015
guest Several lucky people in Oregon are getting their Teslas!!
�
1/1/2015
guest Kudos to the MD driver of a black Model S parked on the street in DC last night (too dark for pics) presumably in the Foggy Bottom area for the fun. concert at Constitution Hall. I had the temerity to park my 4 hour new S in a garage to attend the show.�
1/1/2015
guest Admittedly Silicon Valley sightings are kind of "cheating" but WTH... Here I spotted a friendly fellow on my way to work on I-280 northbound. Friendly wave when passing. Greetings, whoever you are...
(Should we have a separate thread for "Model S sightings from Model S"?)

guest So the same friend who texted me from Reno yesterday texted me again this morning. She said she had to make up for not taking a picture of the one Tesla by sending me a picture of several Teslas. All the cars were white and silver, but two of the cars were covered. She asked if one of them might be mine, but I told her I hoped not since I'm supposed to be taking delivery on Tuesday morning. It's a long way from Reno to Chicago!!
�
1/1/2015
guest How many people in this thread should get ticketed for playing with their cell phones while driving and snapping pictures? ALL OF YOU!! lol sorry couldn't help it.�

guest Every time I see a white car with a spoiler being delivered, my car cries a little tear. Some day.. I'm sure my spoiler will be delivered to me� some day.�
1/1/2015
guest If you really want to see some random Model S sightings, get the Instagram App and search the hashtag: #Tesla ... There are quite a few photos of Model S (and Roadsters) that people have uploaded, and I definitely recognize some of the license plates from photos posted on here. FYI: if you search hashtag: #ModelS you will not find many photos of the Tesla Model S, but you will find tons for photos of male and female models. So, ya know, use your best judgement on that
- - - Updated - - -
One of the photos you would see is this one that I posted yesterday:
Along with the caption: One month into 2013, and I've kept my only New Year's Resolution: Never go to a gas station ever again�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted one of the Founders' cars on 280 as it ends and dumps onto King St./Embarcadero on my commute into San Francisco yesterday morning. I'm pretty sure it was a Founders car because it had the same plates as the first 10 Founders' cars: 6USX025. So I'm guessing it's Founders #25?�
1/1/2015
guest Not all of the founders' cars went to California, and I believe I've seen a plate like that on a demonstrator. Ours is Sig 29, and the plate is 066, so you're probably right that it's a founder, but I wouldn't bet on its VIN being #25.�
1/1/2015
guest My 7 year old nephew calls me today (in NJ) to tell me he just spotted a blue Tesla in West Hartford, CT on Mountain Road.
I don't even have my car yet.:frown:�
1/1/2015
guest Hehe, found a few of my car from a local Cars and Coffee meet this morning...

1/1/2015
guest Founders prolly have different Vin series too?�
1/1/2015
guest Elon has "F00002". Was this one "S00002"?�
1/1/2015
guest Yes s#2
That's what I figured. Still really cool!�
1/1/2015
guest I parked by a Toyota RAV4 EV (Tesla drive train) this morning in Seal Beach

1/1/2015
guest "Half-brother"? Or step-son?�
1/1/2015
guest 
Starting to see them much more frequently. P85 Blue/Tan in front of me at my kid's drop-off at school -- Encinitas Blvd and RSF in Encinitas. Couldn't help notice all the morning greeters and children staring at it. It's an awesome color combo. Making me regret my decision to defer.�
1/1/2015
guest I wonder if that's my white Model S on the back of the truck...
�
1/1/2015
guest that would be impossible.
because it is mine.�
1/1/2015
guest Last night I parked my Model S next to another Model S at Sharks Ice in San Jose while I played hockey.�

guest 11:38 AM saw a car carrier full of Model Ss heading North on I-5, just north of the Fremont bridge. Looks like a bunch of Washintonians are going to be happy soon!�
1/1/2015
guest or Canadians ...�
1/1/2015
guest Let a brown MS pass in front of me on the entrance ramp to the 210 West in Pasadena.
Color looked gorgeous. It was fun to drive behind a MS for once... the car looks amazing on the road.�
1/1/2015
guest Today on 495 just before the George Washington Parkway at the MD/VA state line.
�
1/1/2015
guest Spotted a sig on 280 North at the Sixth St. exit heading into San Francisco on my way to work today...in almost the exact same spot and time I saw a Founder's car the other day. Loved the plate on this one (it may be hard to see in the pic): "2 AMPED." Is that any of you guys?
�
1/1/2015
guest had my first true "in the wild" sighting this morning (and from my S even!).
In fairfax, on the fairfax county parkway headed south (I was stopped at a red light at franklin farm specifically), saw a leaf cross in front of me going eastbound, thought to myself, "hey, nice to see other electrics around now and again", and then immediately after that, saw a dark colored model S going westbound. Phone was in my pocket, so didn't snag a picture�
1/1/2015
guest That could have been me! I cross the parkway on Franklin Farm road heading west on my way to work. This morning it would have been about 8:50am, give or take a few minutes.
On Monday, Richard M was driving behind me in his model S on Franklin Farm Road, and we both pulled off to have a short chat! That was my first sighting.
I have just finished day 7 in the car. It's still awesome!�
1/1/2015
guest Haha, told ya�
1/1/2015
guest 8:50 sounds right. I drop the kids at the bus at 8:45. I bet that was you again this morning. I was going through that light and saw you (possibly) stopped at the light. (Mine is white for the record). Its great how the model s is instantly recognizable.�
1/1/2015
guest My first time charging outside of home (besides the garage where my car spent the first two days/nights getting paint armor installed).
My car turns 1 month tomorrow. This is at the 99 Restaurant in Marlboro, MA (note: the Hudson, MA location does not have a charger!).
Note to self: Bring wallet (where chargepoint card is) and keep second chargepoint card in car. I had to make 2 phone calls, one to release the nozzle and one to enable
charging. Charging was free here. The other car also had an EV plate in the 1000's - but no front plate! Never saw the driver (does (s)he work at an office nearby?)
�
1/1/2015
guest Have seen a few in the last couple weeks but no pictures, until now! Spotted this green one on the 680S Treat off ramp.�
1/1/2015
guest Found a Black Model S coming up fast in my rear view on the 210 E just north of Pasadena. Looked brand new, no plates. Blew by me at 75, driver was singing at the top of his lungs. Made me laugh.�
1/1/2015
guest Saw a dark-colored (sun had set so hard to tell) Model S coming down the hill on Ralston Ave at 5:00 this evening - I was in my Roadster and waved. Then right after that saw a Fisker coming down. Lots of EVs in the Belmont hills it seems.�
1/1/2015
guest It's as if Model S's just suddenly descended from the sky. After seeing maybe two others randomly over the last 4 months, we've seen four randomly in the last 2 days here in the San Diego area. Tonight I saw a white in Camp Pendleton. Yesterday I saw a silver one in my neighborhood. And my wife saw a black one outside our daughter's school and a sig red one at a local restaurant yesterday. This is awesome!�
1/1/2015
guest I saw 3 in a 1 minute period walking back from a meeting (2 blocks).�
1/1/2015
guest every time I see the front of a silver model S, I think it looks way to much like the old `98 chevy camaro's.
�
1/1/2015
guest Wow! Separated at birth?�
1/1/2015
guest Man ... you got some imagination .....
I dont see any similarity.�
1/1/2015
guest Until this week I had not seen any other Model Ses in the wild. I've seen two this week: A blue on Tuesday at around 1:30pm on Federal Highway (US 1) in Boca Raton at the intersection of NE 24th Street, and a white one last night at 7pm on Holland Drive at the intersection of (W) Rogers Circle.�
1/1/2015
guest We need a thread for random Model S sightings outside of California!!�
1/1/2015
guest Well, it *is* silver--and it's a car.�
1/1/2015
guest VERY true. I bet 60% of Model S's are in California.
again, I'm in one of the wealthiest areas in the nation (okay, THE wealthiest), and I have only seen one.�
1/1/2015
guest
ehhhhhhh�
1/1/2015
guest It's like not exactly sporting here, is it? The other day I followed a Roadster on my way to work, parked beside another Model S when I got there, had a third one pull up next to me to chat, and walked by two more in the parking lot I just about gave up posting to this thread. I know of two more on order on my floor. It's an epidemic of delightful proportions!�
1/1/2015
guest I just saw my first "in the wild" Model S! It was a share black car going the opposite way on Ronald Regan highway. Glad to finally see one close to home.�
1/1/2015
guest Awesome, why haven't I heard of this Black Model S in Cinci??? Doesn't everyone frequent these forums?�
1/1/2015
guest Clearly this black Model S owner did not get the memo.�
1/1/2015
guest 
I saw this white one in Florida along the Treasure Coast.
Vin3118 was incredible to see in person. Can't wait for mine even worse now.�
1/1/2015
guest Same here, we have 5 Model S owners and 2 Roadster owners where I work. Everyday, I see at the very minimum 3 on the road during my commute and there are at least 3 owners in my neighborhood. Teslavalley!�
1/1/2015
guest Yup. Just yesterday I found a neighbor on the same street with a Model S.�
1/1/2015
guest I found a friend this morning.
This gentleman picked up his pearl white model S at the factory last Saturday. This is in Los Alamitos (Orange County California). We have had ours since December 22 and this is the first I have seen other than at a Tesla facility.

1/1/2015
guest What a Sunday. Great sunny NorCal day to drive my Sig Red Perf. I saw a grey one on 85 south looking real good from behind all hunkered down. Then an hour later saw a white one in Los Gatos on Blossom Hill. And 30 minutes later a silver one in the same area on Los Gatos Blvd.�
1/1/2015
guest I think we're going to have to move all the California sightings into a different thread, "Yet another CA Model S Sighting". ;-)�
1/1/2015
guest I have been seeing quite a few lately too...including a white one going north on 85 near Campbell this weekend and today the replica of mine in black...right near my office in Palo Alto!�
1/1/2015
guest Might be me Sue! I drive my black MSP from Saratoga to University Ave in Palo Alto where my office is.�
1/1/2015
guest I'm in Vancouver, BC for a conference and just spotted a white MS parked in front of the Four Seasons downtown. It was in the prime valet spot, behind a ridiculous-looking modded Mercedes and an even more ridiculous-looking modded Panamera. It really made me appreciate the understated beauty of the Model S compared to other super-sedans. We all have excellent taste�
1/1/2015
guest I'm wondering if I'll have to stop posting these soon! Here is my third wild sighting in MD at one of my lunch spots, along with my S in the background, and their S is just 30+ cars newer than mine!

1/1/2015
guest I saw this black S up at the Alpental Ski Area outside Seattle on Friday. I hope you enjoyed the snow!

�
1/1/2015
guest I guess it could have been blue. there was quite a lot of road grime on it.�
1/1/2015
guest While I've had my S since early November, I have yet to see one truly 'in the wild'. Closest I've come was this morning; got a hint on where the upcoming Raleigh service center will be, and since it is only a few miles from home, swung by after dropping son off at school. There were two S out back, apparently being prepped for delivery. The colors are very subtle on an overcast day, but still sharp looking cars!
With the service center location being between my exit off the freeway and the next, hopefully I'll be seeing one truly 'in the wild' soon!
Grey, VIN 3695
Blue, VIN 4881

1/1/2015
guest Spotted this blue beauty in the parking lot at my office in Fargo, ND yesterday. (Blue DOES look black...)
Not really a "random" sighting, but it's just fun to post photos of Teslas that aren't in a showroom.
Bleeds On stopped by to show off his new ride. :love:
I think he may have sold one to my boss.

Do you have the commute stickers? Someone told me I defaced my car putting them on....�
1/1/2015

guest Yesterday, I ran an errand on the way home. I saw a Signature Red car and spoke with the driver at a light. Then I passed a black Model S and a dark blue Roadster at almost the same time.
No photos of those, but perhaps today makes up for it. This was fun. Parked, ran into the grocery store, and upon my return, my car had attracted a friend!
�
1/1/2015
guest LOL. I like how the clip with the Model S was "not like the others" as Sesame Street would say.�
1/1/2015
guest Decided to go to the Stone Brewery Gardens in Escondido (Northern San Diego) for dinner, where they have two free GE charging stations. Pull up to find a silver performance, VIN 2974.
The owner must have been enjoying the food and beer, they were still there when we left, and the EVSE was showing about 3 hours of charging... Unfortunately the plug I was left with wouldn't charge my P85 :-(
�
1/1/2015
guest Saw my first "in the wild" on Saturday morning just south of Portland on I5. Saw a silver one with 21" chrome rims in my rear view mirror (driver was female and passenger was male). We waved at each other and off they went.�
1/1/2015
guest My first Model S in a natural setting spotted yesterday at Ala Moana Mall parking lot. That's my Leaf behind it. Though the S might look blue it is in fact a black, extremely elegant, spotlessly clean. The lady driving it gave me permission to take pictures, said she had it since November and loved it. Truly beautiful car.

1/1/2015
guest Sad to say I saw an empty black (I think) Model S sitting on the shoulder of the ICC in Montgomery County MD on Sunday. Breakdown? Range miscalculation?�
1/1/2015
guest I really don't understand why Tesla is shipping these cars without protecting them with at least a cover over the front bumper and windshield. The car that is in front above the CAB is likely to have lots of chip marks. I hope they're not shipping cars cross country this way. Sadly, I think they are.�
1/1/2015
guest Stones do not fly that high on the highway...
Bugs? Yes, but I have not known a bug splatter to be permanent.
They come off fairly clean in all honesty...
Would an enclosed truck be nice? Sure, but that comes in time...�
1/1/2015
guest I like how the sunroof is open in the freezing winter. I'm sure that's great for keeping the interior warm without blasting heat (and wasting energy) to keep yourself from frostbite.�
1/1/2015
guest I have been known to crack the sunroof open in very cold weather, to prevent the inside of the windows from frosting over. Humid warm air against cold windows is a bad combination. I usually do this in the garage though.�
1/1/2015
guest It's nice to see that not only the battery got replenishment, but also the Saint Bernard. :biggrin:�
1/1/2015
guest Just saw my first Austin Texas area in-the-wild Model S... a beautiful white one going the opposite direction on Southwest Parkway. Turned out it was someone on the Austin-SanAntonio boards who saw my Silver 60 for the first time in-the-wild as well.
Sorry no picture, but it was nice to see another S (other than obvious Cars-N-Coffee or other get togethers).�
1/1/2015
guest Yeah, someone on another thread took delivery in Rockville and needed to have his windshield replaced and front hood repainted. Compliments of Tesla -- but that sucks to have to deal w/ that on a new car!!�
