What was this car?

A bright red Tesla (no idea which model, they all look the same to me) with what appeared to be a matrix light/sign on the front dashboard (I didn't see anything at the back). Could it have been a Fire Service vehicle (I am pretty sure I haven't seen a *bright* red Tesla like that before). Other than the matrix sign, it was completely unmarked.

They do an ultra red in the new facelift?

I saw a pastel green one the other day which must have been a wrap, a lot of money for a colour that you'd just shrug your shoulders at

But it was the matrix sign that caught my eye more than the colour – what would the purpose be for something like that on the front dashboard? Maybe a taxi? But it was bigger than the normal taxi lights and the car had no further signage.

Fire Station gaffers car.

Often red, pretty normally specced but with the addition of a few lights or bits and bobs, or one of those magnetic 12V beacons ready to sling on the roof. Mates Dad was one when I was growing up, usually had a pretty nice saab or Volvo or BMW or something.
