Tesla Model S spotted in Palo Alto, California

Details on This Tesla Model S:

  • Location
    Palo Alto, California
  • Description
    Continuing my Tesla upload streak. These are probably the only normal Teslas I'll ever post. This one belongs to Sergey Brin, the cofounder of Google. He comes to my gym every once in a while, usually with his kids. It's a bit strange having a multi-billionaire around you, but he's a nice guy. The chrome part on the back has the word "founder" engraved in it. I'm guessing because he helped design the Model S.

Sorry it took so long to reply, but founder doesn't exacly mean that. The actual designer, Franz von HolzHausen didn't get his custom blue car until after we got ours.
This is a signature series model S, but the people who invested in the company years back got first dibs, first was investor Steve Jurvetson. It was just one of the first ones rolled off the line in this limited edition color. It seems to have a black interior with red piping and most likely carbon fiber dash inserts, where this car can dash to 60 MPH in under 4 seconds (Motortrend)
