Gentlemen, start your Teslas!

My friend Jason sent me this picture this morning. Apparently someone with a Roadster has been visiting his work (L3 Communications) in the last week or so.

Does anyone know who's Roadster this is? (Sorry, I can't seem to post a large picture, click it to enlarge it.)

UPDATE: Looks like it was just a visit by an L3 customer. Jason said he saw it for about two weeks and hadn't seen it after that. It was also parked in customer-designated parking (which isn't noticeable in the photo).

Same car as seen at the LA store back in February:

Cool. It's great to see a California-plated EV (especially a Roadster!) ~800 miles away in Utah. If he notices it again I'll have him take a peek at the VIN to confirm which car it is (although it's probably #301).

Please do... I tried to double check, and it seems like it may actually be a different VIN... Maybe #359

VolkerP - I thought that was the first prototype of the tattler in the passenger seat and Larry David driving.:wink:

i didn't get to snap a picture (was driving) but i saw my first "roadster in the wild" in the northern virginia area this morning. (i also saw my first volt this week - nice to see these on the east coast). Was a red (not sure which one) with carbon-fiber accents. Very sharp looking.

Didn't get a picture, but I saw a Roadster on the 880 on my way to my hotel room.

I saw Real Steel last night and one of the bad guys in the movie takes off in a white Roadster. Amazingly the acceleration sound was correct!

Bad guy!?

 

[PopSmith]

Bad guy!?

I guess he's not really "bad" per se but he helps run the opposing team. Without spoiling too much he's basically a really rich guy who designed the world's best boxing robot. About 3/4ths of the way into the movie he hops in a white Roadster (with a relatively close up shot of the rear of the car) and takes off.

Hmmm, when uploading picture here on TMC I have been getting a "invalid URL" like when I tried this time. (thnx TEG)

That's more frustrating than opening the add image window, clicking on the "from URL" button and and annoyingly pops on the from computer box ... and having to reclick the URL button.
