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

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
A white Zoe, and a middling grey Tesla Model S (that may have been a facelift).

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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

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

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
OK, so today I saw a Tesla Model S (facelift) and a BMW I3, both in white again.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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...

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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.
