...when I saw it, I knew exactly what it was.

A Buick Envision.

Wish I had my camera, but I know it was the real thing.

Conveniently, there was an Equinox a couple cars back, and it was about the same size, maybe slightly larger.

Complete with the rear covered in plastic cladding and an almost completely exposed front end. Michigan 'M' plates, too.

Also, I saw my third Tesla Model S, this one was dark blue.

Coincidentally, the first two Model S I ever saw were red and white.

'Murica.

I saw a Camo'd 4 Series Gran Coupe. It was unsurprising to me for some reason. I also see 5 Model Ss a day during my commute to and from work on average.

Like, last week. I have no idea why it was like that. I saw another "camo'd" one the week before that also.

The only camo'd part of the car was the logo. I lol'd.

I wonder if its a power train mule? It makes sense to make a diesel version.

Good question. Maybe. I just don't understand what they're testing in Northern NJ.

There must be some sort of high stress environment there! Maybe having to deal with a bunch a of rich people on the road.
