Currently in vacation, but have a few more shots to post when I return (though I think I already posted those I liked best).
Plus I knew what to expect and was less distracted by trying to follow news (which weren't anymore). Also emphasized shooting over trying to interview Tesla employees. (Had a sense the full story on charging wasn't ready for the public yet, in any case.) So I made a lot of shots and later selected. But, I really liked yours (as well as Nigel's) for almost-live-reporting.
While the just-announced 1Dx seems to be what I'd hope for in a camera, I'd hesitate to spend that amount of money on a camera. Might wait for the 5d3 before I upgrade.

Great pictures TEG! Those are some of the best pictures of the Model S we've seen. Especially the closeups.

Agreed! I'm just hoping against hope that they come out with a horizontal wood grain trim. A nice dark oak or walnut would be awesome! I can't stand that vertical banana leaf stuff. 
Unlike on some close-ups due to the use of a wide-angle focal length, proportions on this photo are not distorted.

Love the long-shot look of the Model S. You can tell that's what it's going to look like on the highway.
In the last shot, you can tell why the head room in the back is so low. Wow does that slope down fast!

Did TM put white epoxy on the floor of the entire NUMI plant? That stuff is kind of expensive just to put on the floor of your garage. I can't imagine how much they spent to do a couple acres!
(it does look cool... once I get a house with a garage, I'll put that white epoxy under my EV's)
I overheard someone talking about it at the factory tour.
Something like "It is an Elon personal touch to make his factory look like a computer server room." (same at SpaceX I think)... Something else said about the board questioning the cost, but got convinced to do it.
The factory is so huge though - some distant areas haven't been painted...
