Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

[myglaren]

Leaf from up the road this morning and a something this evening - probably - as it had the grill in blue - wide horizontal blades.

A white Zoe, and a middling grey Tesla Model S (that may have been a facelift).

The facelift has a minimalist grille if it has one at all, and in my opinion, looks better than the unfacelifted model S.

The 'grill' in general has been a distinguishing feature of car design/branding and 'faceless designs' may not have universal appeal. The model 3 currently doesn't have a face.

My avatar is a Renault Caravelle/Floride, which being rear engined had no need for a face, hence its unusual , and granted not to everyone's taste, front. Me ,I like it

You might be seeing more if this article that popped up on a finance website comes true.

A Tesla Model S (pre-facelift) and a Citroen C-Zero, both in white.

James, for the precise ID of the Tesla, one bonus point

I bagged a brace today. Not Tesla's....white Zoe's.....like this advert

Not a patch on the subtlety of the Fluence ad, a true classic, more churn out a load of BS, as regular readers of this thread will instantly recognise.

OK, so today I saw a Tesla Model S (facelift) and a BMW I3, both in white again.

[Gibbo2286]

I probably don't look hard enough but I haven't seen any around here.

Did I catch an advert on TV last night for an electric Citroen? I only spotted the very end of the ad.

Followed a Kia Soul EV into work today - pretty sure it was a full BEV as I couldn't find a tailpipe!

Quite a few of the current crop of EV's come in both pure BEV and Hybrid versions so I look for the tailpipe to identify which they are.

Last week I followed a Volvo V60 Hybrid on the way to work. That definitely had a tailpipe...

Double Zoe, and a quintuple or possibly even a sextuple of leafs yesterday but today's spot was both unexpected, and very close up.

Yes I had pulled up in Italianesque parking style behind the rear end of a Tesla Model S, facelift version in this season's favourite colour......grey! I do believe it was a P90D.

Identical to this one down to the wheels and red brake calipers.

I wonder if it has had a "rearlift" as well. I think the words "all wheel drive" were somewhere on the rear but no close ups to back this up.

A Mitsubishi Thingy just now

Black Tesla S just down the street from home.

[Hell Razor5543]

I have spotted today two BMW I3 (one mainly white, other mainly grey), a Tesla Model S in black (pre facelift). I then spotted, in Chiswick, three Teslas; a blue Model S (facelift), a white Model X, and a red child size Model S.

Spoiler: show

I am not sure if the last three count, as they were all in the Telsa showroom on the Chiswick roundabout, with a rolling chassis showing the running gear, motors and batteries.

For anyone looking to break their duck on Tesla spotting, they may be spotted congregating at these waterholes

Haven't troubled the scorers with a model X on the road spot yet, but if I spot the Tesla face on something shorter and stubbier it's going to be a model X

Went to Consett last night and spotted a black Tesla S on the way back - there were probably loads of others that I failed to spot.
