Elon spotted commuting in CA. Odd that P1 still has dealer plates. Also, it looks like the CHMSL isn't working. Though I suppose it's possible the brakes aren't actually on and the taillights are just lit from the headlights being on. Flickr Photo Download: DSC_0921  Flickr Photo Download: DSC_0923

Additionally: were I to guess what would cause a Tesla to stall, I would assume something involving the firmware (over just running out of juice or something). Any other ideas?

Hard to know which one since Radiant Red appears to be a popular choice.

Is it possible to push the car when in neutral or is it tow only?

Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stanford, California Posts: 3,606 | I should mention that the spirit of this thread is Roadsters out in the wild. So a car parked at a Tesla store or at the factory, or on display at an auto show, doesn't really count. Also the preference is for pictures not found elsewhere on this site. | |
