Not my own sighting, but my sister's. Blue one on NB 53 near Hall this evening. Thought I'd check if it's anyone here since she memorized the plate, ending in 047. She thought it was me until she saw the plate.

Spotted a blue (or possibly black, but probably blue) Model S heading East on Route 17, east of exit 122 at about 4:40 PM Sunday afternoon, 8/23. (We were headed West, and weren't in a Model S.) Anyone here?

Had my first sighting of a Model S going the same direction, N0M0GAS on NB 53. :biggrin:
I first noticed it just before the on ramp, but didn't get a good enough look to be 100% sure. The lack of a fin on the roof gave me hope because every other similar-looking sedan seems to have it, so I had to try to catch up.
I caught up a couple minutes later and slowed down a bit, briefly waving as I passed (probably bad timing for him to see, didn't see him look over).
Then, once the car ahead merged to the right a couple seconds later, I don't know what I was thinking when I half gunned it, which is unlike me when already going the speed limit. In all my imaginings of such an event, I would have merged ahead or behind and stuck around until our paths diverted. I guess the excitement just got the better of me. Anyway, very cool nonetheless.

More signs of Tesla being an important brand of our time. In the renderings for a proposed redevelopment of a mall in Cupertino, CA you can see a Tesla Model S as one of the most visible/recognizable vehicles in their streetscape:
The Hills at Vallco | Cupertino, Silicon Valley | Vallco Shopping Mall Transformation
I think I also see a Volt but there is no mistaking the Tesla branded vehicle (other than the fact I consider a Tesla with a front California plate practically a unicorn).

Didn't know the Model S was sold in California as a right-hand drive vehicle! ;-)
That's an Opel Ampera, the Europe-only version of the Chevy Volt. They must have grabbed a random pic.
Perhaps it is the super advanced self driving version? No need sit on the driver's side. ;-)

Spotted on WT Harris Blvd westbound turning north onto Tryon Rd. at about 10 am Friday. I rolled down my window and waved, but doubt "Watt Fun" was noticed behind the gold Accord in front of me.

I was eating at a Boston Market today and somebody stopped behind my car and looked for a long time, and took a picture. Hoping its posted here today. Like there's any chance of that, lol!
Here are some random cars I happened to see at the new Houston service center today (lots of people there looking at the car asking questions - interest has not diminished).
This is mine, picking up some controversial local electrons.
This is my dream car.
Truly a random siting - this car was charging when I got there.
A couple demo cars outside.
My dream car from the front.

Isn't that everybody's dream car??
I think most people's dream car would include Ludicrous Mode. (There was no underline under the P90D.)

My understanding was that it was a real Tesla thing. Now I'm going to have to do some searching and report back. (I could be wrong.)
Edit: OK, I think it's a real Tesla thing:
