The Bay Area is probably the only thing keeping that company alive. Every stoplight you pull up to there has at least a couple Teslas
When they’re up for renewal, they won’t be replaced with Teslas.
Well, less than 50% will, maybe. Still a lot of people buying shitty cars apparently.
I’m outside Boston and I see a lot here as well…
…and even those are likely pre-ElonSeigHeil purchases.
Even in iowa you see them all over. There are so many drivers any car make other than the most exclusive will be seen soon if you fixate on it (read look).
Stastics show tesla is a tiny brand by market share. However they are wer the only ev brand until reciently so people focus on them.
And that’s really the only reason I have one - it was the only long range electric car available when I bought it. Now I would choose any of the many other options first.
I’d be curious about why you haven’t taken the moral stance and sold it.
What’s going on in America needs people to take actual steps. Votes aren’t enough anymore.
I don’t pay Tesla for the vehicle (I don’t even supercharge), so it doesn’t actually affect their bottom line if I sell it. Buying a new car does affect my bottom line though.
Boycotts are only effective when they change purchasing behaviors, and this purchase is long done. I do encourage everyone who asks if I like my car to look into specific alternatives instead however.
Fair enough. All the best dude.
Tesla has basically only two models and even those two look quite samey, one is just more bloated, ao ofc you see them everywhere
I see a cyber truck almost every day. It makes no sense. They aren’t even like the same one.
