Tesla Model S VIN 1

We'd make good stalkers.

No kidding. I'm really impressed.

Do you see the chrome strip along the bottom of the doors? Is it gone or just obscured by the angle?

 

[Jason S]

Chrome strip still there. Saw it on a couple of the factory pictures.

The first day and already rained on. :cursing:

I welcome the rain as a friend to my Tesla as a way to wash out some of the pollution and oil slick on the roads as a result of our polluting ancestors.

Plus it's a good time to test the cars abilities in the wet!

Jurvetson says his VIN is F00001, so the Founders' Series has its own VIN sequence like the Roadsters.

Are there any pictures of the front end?

Also, anyone notice that "TSLA S1" sounds like an SEC filing for Tesla stock?!

It would be a hoot if Elon managed to have a VIN # F00000 produced for his delivered Model S; thus being the first Model S . I always chuckle at the story of Jurveton's quick check writing skill that caught the Tesla Board and Elon himself by surprise.

Nice one! Securities law humor! I love it! :wink::biggrin:

Hey, now we know it's water proof. And hat is off to Jurvetson for using the car, and not relegating it to a garage/museum.

With all this stalking, curious why no one has been able to spot Elon's car?

Elon must have splurged on the optional stealth mode. Seriously though, the guy is probably getting some sleep.

I think the double entendre was intentional...

He had that plate on his Roadster during IPO time...

Now that he transferred the plate to the Model S, I wonder if he gets a new personalized plate for the old Founders' Roadster.

I could be wrong, but I think that might not be considered a valid VIN and might cause some issues with the DMVs and such.

I doubt Elon, being a programmer, would want his plate to say "Foo" as in "Foobar"

I don't know (or care) if they are gay - but Draper Fisher Jurvetson is organized as a set of partnerships. Their management are General Partners and investors are Limited Partners. Stein works there. http://www.dfj.com/team/teamdetail.php?JoshStein-10016
This looks like their parking lot.

So no Signature badging that I can see? Just the P85?

 

[Mycroft]

Founders series cars might not be badged as Signatures.

 

[spatterso911]

It's entirely possible that the Model S will be on the right, with Signature underneath in their script font for all signature cars. These Founders cars could easily have been badged differently for a reason.
