I think it depends on where you are.
I hear Teslas are as numerous as illegals in Cali.
But here in the midwest I see maybe one a week.
Funny story: my buddy’s daughter has a Tesla, and she works at a place that has a plug-in station. But another guy bought a Volt so they arm wrestle over that slot.
“I hear Teslas are as numerous as illegals in Cali.”
That’s actually pretty much true. I live about twenty miles east of the Tesla plant. I could go into downtown right now and see from two to six of them on the streets (school is just starting and the soccer moms are dropping Jr off). Here where the climate is always moderate and daily driving distances are well within the Tesla’s range, they are a good choice. The high-performance model with 0-60 times of around 3-4 seconds are impressive!
Lucky for her, somebody's daughter should be more than a match for the average guy driving a Volt.
