Model S sightings in Ontario

[mknox]

It was me ;-) Hi

Hi to you as well! First sighting of someone on these forums. Did I get it right... Black S85? It was dark so I couldn't be sure. I had a number of people tell me they were surprised to see my car was blue when they saw it in daylight for the first time.

Yup. Black S85 and yeah the license plate lights are blue ;-) I figured I'll keep them 'til I get my first ticket ;-)

Very distinctive for sure. I travel that route daily since I live in the GTA and work in the Waterloo Region so I'll keep an eye out!

Traveling south on Cedar Springs Road this morning around 8:40 saw a black (possibly blue/green) MS going the opposite direction. No time to spot the plate or catch a glimpse of the driver.

Yesterday I saw a White Model S @ 12:57pm in Ancaster on Mohawk Rd heading West. I waved but you didn't see me.

First one I've spotted close to home.

I also saw a Leaf on the QEW later in the afternoon, which makes for my first day sighting 2 EV's.

About 2 -3 weeks ago I spotted 2 MS on the same corner within a few moments. One was silver and the other blue I think. Lakeshore and York street in Toronto. I was is awe of the first one so when I saw the second...had to stop and stare. 15 Days till my black one arrives.

Wow, what a great present! (they often come early too).

A brand-spanking new black P85+ dropped in today for a charge. This is a Tesla demo car, brought to town from Toronto for some test drives. Then it will become the new Montreal demo car.

Red calipers!

#26726 - numbers are getting up there!

So here's a twist: I was in a meeting the other day when the subject of my Model S came up. An attendee (who I don't really know very well) asks if I was on the DVP at a particular date/time. I said that I was and he busts out his iPhone, flips through some pictures and hands me his phone asking "is that you?" I look at the picture and sure enough, it's me from the rear! He says "I was the guy in the red car trying to catch up with you!"

Red calipers!

... and 19" turbine wheels! Cool!

I was driving home in a rental car from Chicago yesterday, and passed two auto transports loaded with Teslas on I-69 between Lansing and Flint (I'll get to the Ontario part in a moment!). If I wasn't driving, it would have been cool to snap a picture of them going past the big Chevy plant there. One truck had 7 cars and the other 8.

There was a long line of cars at the Port Huron/Sarnia crossing, but trucks have a special lane. After I'd crossed over and was on the 402 towards London, I passed them again! I didn't notice them in the truck lane, but I guess they beat me through Customs and got ahead of me again.

So for anyone expecting a new car in the next few days, I saw them coming!

Yes that would be me. Was scheduled for the 26th and now arriving the 21st. Like a 7 year old waiting for Christmas!

My "bird feeder" out back snagged another one. This is a brand-new blue 85 from Montreal.

...and a different brand-new blue S85 from Montreal. This one is the loaner while they do my annual service and some minor repairs.

VIN is 28379... this subtly hints that it's gonna be a "B". Not worth crawling around on the ground in snow, ice and/or slush, thanks!

Car has about 400 km on it, more than half of which is due to the valet bringing it to me... range is 6.5% higher than mine.

They drove the car as opposed to bringing it on an enclosed trailer?
