My second random sighting on Thursday (Feb. 4, 2016) was only three days after my first random sighting on Monday (Feb. 1, 2016). It was near Santa's Village exit on Highway 17 northbound (in Scotts Valley, which is on the way from Santa Cruz area to over the hill to Santa Clara county area).
It seems like everybody's random sightings just skyrocketed around beginning of February 2016. We're actually getting to see them in real operation. This is good.

Saw a silver model X in SF, at the intersection of Guerrero and 24th St this morning. It even had license plates. I was pre-coffee and too slow to pull my phone out and take a photo.

Excellent! I have yet to see one out and about except Kittylitter's (sig red) when he showed it off to a bunch of folks over a month ago. That makes at least four, including Blurry_eyed's blue in Kirkland.
Every Silver one I see makes me like it more!
Had my first two random (outside of Tesla Service Centers / Superchargers) sightings in the last few days. A Signature Red on El Camino in Menlo Park, and a grey in Palo Alto this evening. Both times at night -- the headlights look very cool and distinctive, like the Model S.

Aha, half and half: it was a combination of my iPhone 6s's wide framing lense trying to take in a smaller distant target, my iPhone 6s's inability to take action (moving target) shots, and of my not wanting to take my human focus and attention off of my calm driving conditions (and if it weren't calm I wouldn't have even tried those blurry shots). My iPhone 6s was mounted in a dash mount, barely able to peek over the dash. I know from being parked that it can catch blurry forward images in camera mode, and with relatively few presses a few snaps can be taken with less than it takes to select a radio station or podcast. Tim, though, had opportunity to just sit there and take a still photo: I did not.

Had a clam bake for a local yacht club at our restaurant today. Signature #58 was there. I actually got to drive it and hung out in the parking lot, answered questions and demoed it for people.
That perspective really makes the X look significantly smaller than the van. But I guess that's why the van isn't a minivan!

Saw a blue Model X on the Inner Loop (eastbound) of the Capital Beltway just before dusk on Super Bowl Sunday. That was my first sighting in the wild after seeing a gray one at the Rockville Svc Ctr on Friday.

I have been driving around Redmond, WA in my Sig Red X since December 31st.
I saw one in Palo Alto today. That shouldn't be much of a big deal. I probably saw a dozen Model S on the same local trip. I was getting my car washed at the hand car wash at the Town and Country Center. The car behind me was also a Model S, the Model X was parked in the lot, (VIN in the mid 500s) and shortly after I pulled out, I passed a Roadster. That's the first time I encountered anything like that out in the wild. I don't spend a lot of time in Palo Alto, so it's not as if it was something that I should have expected due to my everyday routine.
I work in Palo Alto. My record is eight Model S cars on University Ave in the space of a few blocks. I once saw three Model S parked in line on a side street off University Ave.

Just had my first encounter with a parked Model X today (gray P90D) and took some pictures along side my half-a-Tesla RAV4 EV:

those pics could go into the paint color thread. Midnight Silver Metallic - cuz they look so good :smile:
Definitely reduces my misgivings about NOT ordering White.
the Toyota looks nice too ... beauty within
