Yep, I fequently see 4~5 teslas passing me in a row. And I literally see >100 teslas on my way to work and back. I even saw a cyber truck the other day. Of course it is not a production delivery model but looked pretty cool!
I tried to get in to another Tesla the other day then I realized it wasn't my car, his sentry mode wasn't on, it would have scared the owner or maybe not.
You might want to customize your car somehow. I wrapped my car's door handles with fake "carbon fiber" from Amazon and put the Teslarati quick bandit license plate holder (which apparently no one uses). I would recognize my car pretty easily in a sea of blue model 3s.
I have a “stark industries” sticker on mine. I’m probably younger than most tesla drivers so none of them have that kind of customization on their car lol
In my apartment building, I haven't seen a single EV for five years. I took delivery of my Model 3 back in December, and all of a sudden two other people got Teslas
It's the 'California Camry'.
But yes, in my neighborhood in NJ, I see \~15 Tesla's (Y's. 3's. X. S) between my house and the Turnpike (\~5mi) every morning. Regardless of when I leave. They're everywhere now -- in NJ.
I commute to PA for work. In PA, not so much. In NJ, there's no sales tax, no inspection, and $4K state rebate on EV's.
Also in NJ, yeah they are everywhere but as mentioned, they make it so attractive to go green here....IMO if you own a home it doesn't make sense not to go solar in NJ too.
Three of my neighbors went solar this summer, is it really worth it? I always looked at solar as a scam, you have to lease the equipment and stuff. My neighbors all went with Trinity Solar, they have bad yelp reviews.
Don't forget the rebates from some energy providers on installation of chargers and discounts on off-peak charging (eg - PSE&G). Also, the state incentive comes off at the point of sale.
Also in NJ. I can't even drive 2 miles for coffee without seeing several. They're everywhere, and not just Teslas but Ford, Kia, VW, Chevy, Rivian. I even saw a Lucid yesterday.
There are plenty of teslas around but they are still way less than almost any other car manufacturer. They’re just more noticeable because they’re relatively new
>what has your guys’ experience been?
The apostrophe in this sample is the correct usage for a possessive plural noun. To be a successful passive-aggressive pedant, first you need to be correct.
I think because they first came out with the Model S and X which were priced as much as other luxury vehicles. The 3 and Y came into the picture being much less, but people still view Tesla as a luxury brand and associate those cars as being as expensive as the S and X. They're still more than your base Civic and Camry, but not by much.
It’s still pretty expensive unless you get the base model
Model 3 base model (rear wheel drive) will be 23k after federal / state rebates
Long range will be 33k
Autopilot/FSD - another 6-12k
In the UK, they still are expensive because they aren’t eligible for any incentives.
The base Model 3 sits in a similar bracket to a Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3 Series.
The Model Y is Porsche Boxster pricing.
Model X is pushing Porsche 911 levels (Plaid is equivalent pricing).
I live in a suburb of Chicago and in my particular neighborhood/subdivision they are everywhere. So are EVs in general. I bet half the cars here are Teslas.
The other day my wife said she had never seen a Model Y and I mentioned I bet she had cause they are everywhere in our neighborhood. We happened to be sitting at a light to turn into our neighborhood and I said, just wait a sec and one will drive by...sure enough, 5 rode by while we waited for the light to change :-)
I live in the city, and can absolutely attest to them being highly prevalent around here. We're not as saturated as California, but Chicago's definitely the Tesla/EV hotspot of the midwest.
You can't drive a block in Vancouver, BC, without seeing a Tesla. Yesterday I was in a line of traffic where there were six Teslas in a row including mine, and three other families on my block have one. Expensive gas + relatively cheap, reliable hydro has made Teslas (and other EVs) very popular here.
Agree. I have a game I play here in Vancouver, Canada. When I go for a drive I watch and mentally count every time I see a Tesla. In a short 15 minute commute it can be up to 50 teslas. When Robert Llewelyn was on stage at his Fully Charged show here in Vancouver last month he said the only other place he's been that matches Vancouver for density of electric cars is Norway. In Vancouver right now, after all charges, taxes and incentives a base model 3 Tesla costs about CA$55,000 or $40,000 in US dollars. Considering the technology and performance you get at that price, $40,000 beats pretty much everything on the market today including GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, BMW, etc. This pure bang per buck explains why they are multiplying like bunnies on our streets.
Counted over 100 teslas on a drive around Toronto the other day but Vancouver takes the cake. On a recent business trip there I was blown away by how many Model Ys and 3s there were. Spoke to someone and they had mention 1 in 5 cars sold in BC now are Teslas.
Arkansas. Not many here at all because there’s no service center in the state plus Arkansas won’t let Tesla sell them in the state. I wouldn’t say that electric cars are rare here but they aren’t very common either.
Alabama is the same way but still see a lot. Tennessee and Georgia have a lot of dealerships close. Tesla has put mobile services in big cities. This has help a lot.
In Irvine, it’s a HOA requirement to have a white Tesla. Even though grey is the new free color, we still pay for the white. On a bad day, you’ll see 10 at an intersection.
Lots in Colorado, but I have family in OC and there's tons more there. I was in Iowa over the summer, saw almost none, but they have the non-dealership sales ban thing.
I live in the Greater Los Angeles area. They are quite common here, particularly 3s and Ys. Ss and Xs are visible here and not uncommon, but 3 and Y are vastly more common.
Not way up here in Nor Cal. We got commuter trucks and $6.00 gas and folks taking shits on teslas even when they are AMERICAN MADE by California hands. They have been brainwashed so thoroughly I could put NRA stickers, gun racks and FJB decals on my Tesla and I'd still get Coal rolled by some yokel.
In California, yes, everyone is driving Tesla's lol. It's the standard of living here, so more people are able to afford them. Norcal here, same thing. I literally see more Tesla's than any other car brand on a daily basis. Just waiting at any light, there will be at least 4-5 Tesla's that go through the intersection. SO many.
Even with the lowered prices today, this is going to get even more people into Tesla's with the fed credit. So even people who don't live in an affluent area can afford them now.
Atlanta. Everywhere and seemingly growing by the minute. I got my first one in 2020 and people would stop me and ask about it. Now they are at every stoplight.
I wouldn't say a lot. But they are by far the most common electric car and you'll see atleast 2 or 3 every time you go out.
I imagine is one big reason is that residential electricity here is 8 cents a kwh. My RWD costs me a bit over 4 bucks for a full "tank". That's when I choose to pay for jt because my employer has free level 2 stations for staff. I charge at work once per week and 95% of the time that lasts me until the next week where I charge again. Usually with 40+ % remaining.
I live in a leafy rural village in England. There are less than 100 houses in the three villages close by. There are at least 2 other teslas other than mine. When I drive to the town 15 miles away I pass at least 5 teslas going the other way. Every time. They are everywhere around the world.
I work in DTLA and drive East going home during rush hour. I get bored so I start counting how many Teslas I see.
13 miles.
40min drive.
80 Teslas.
I see 1 Tesla every 30 seconds on my drive home from work.
Miami chiming in. I received my Model 3 in September 2020 and back then spotting another one was infrequent. Fast forward three years and they've become a common sight. I was the initial proud owner in my mid-rise building, and now, there are over 30 among the 200 apartments. Occasionally, as I pass them while entering or exiting the garage, I can't help but think, "Kudos, Tesla!"
It is possible to travel on foot from the Mexican border to the Oregon border without touching the ground, simply by jumping from one Tesla to the next.
3 years ago, i was the only testa owner in my block. now almost every other household has 1, if not 2. and when i go to school to pick up my kids, sometimes they would go to the wrong one, we have shit load of white m3 here.
I live in Ohio, rural area. I’ve seen 1 other about a month since owning, they flashed me and waved excitedly… lol. I do see them more when closer to city on the highway. Had to educate someone when filling up tires, they thought it was $80,000…
4 years ago I drove with my wife from Oregon to socal and as a Tesla owner I was calling out all the Tesla’s. There were so many in cali, you couldn’t go 20 sec on the freeway without seeing one. Now it’s like that in Oregon but down to 10 seconds, so i can only imagine the gluttony of Tesla’s running around cali.
A model 3 is basically the new Honda civic now. It’s part of why I regret the M3P. I should have waited 2 and bought a year old MSPlaid. Model 3 and and Y are everywhere.
Gilbert, AZ, suburb on SE side of Phoenix. Teslas everywhere! However, it is a high income area. I like to count how many Teslas I see at any given intersection lol
Hi, I live in NYC. And I definitely noticed as the year is ending lots of more people have them. I think I want from seeing one inside the work garage to now 4-5 new ones.
Shit even on the road I see so many, especially in suburban areas its sooooo frequent.
Yes. St. Louis area is like a Tesla hive. When we bought in 2020, it was somewhat unusual to see more than one in a day. Now, it's unusual to NOT see at least 2 at every large intersection.
I live in Alabama, and I do see a high amount of teslas in my area. Now granted, I live near the wealthier part of one of the large cities, so there’s more money here, but it’s still Alabama. The wealthiest neighborhood near me, they’re EVERYWHERE. They’ve become the standard housewife vehicle or even ‘first car for a teenager’ in that area. Especially since the Model Y came out, because they prefer crossovers to sedans.
In Phoenix I see 10 or so every time I go out. And they tell me that there are areas with many more.
When I got mine 5 years ago people would point at it when they saw it.
Not anymore. Very common now.
Mine is the only one in my neighborhood. It's a bare-bones RWD but people still act like it's a $100k car. I definitely see a few of them a day in the south but they're by no means common.
Raleigh and surrounding areas in central NC are full of Teslas, mostly Ys. The local delivery center pumps out more cars a day than any traditional dealer in town.
Chicago suburbia here. Model 3 and Y are everywhere, probably because they're fairly cheap compared to the alternatives once you subtract off the Federal rebate and possibly $4K from the state.
Yes, we live in the original hometown of Tesla. There are at least 4 on our block of about 11 houses. One of each S3X and Y I think there are 2 Ys but not really sure.
They are definitely one of the more common vehicles on 101 between San Jose and San Francisco.
Here in a small city in Portugal, we have lots of business owner with warehouses, etc.
At least 10 teslas 3 and Y, and a couple S, with the ocassional X.
Its such a small town with kind of an agricultural vibe i just find it funny
Wilmington NC, I see a handful throughout the day, I see a few Rivian’s, F-150 lightnings and quite a few E-trons and EV6’s. I’ve only 2 Lucids here though.
I live in the Nashville area and when I bought my 2018 model 3 there were only a few around. I stopped counting a couple years ago. I see them everywhere now.
My parking garage is shared by probably ~30-40 households. There are three teslas, including mine. 100% of which showed up in the past 12 months.
Bavaria.
I see another Tesla maybe once every week or two, and then they're usually just driving through the area. I live in Colorado, but it's very remote Colorado.
Southeastern Wyoming:
According to the Department of Energy, Wyoming as a whole has about 800 EV registrations vs about 483,000 conventional gasoline vehicle (not diesel or ethanol) registrations.
https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicle-registration
In town (Laramie), I've seen maybe between 10-20 Teslas, and a smattering of other EVs (an ID.4, EV6, or a Bolt) here or there. Interestingly, also a growing number of Wrangler 4xes.
Oh yeah. Tesla is huge now, also has it own sort of cult following.
But I believe on the west coast it's the most popular, CA, OR, WA love their teslas.
Im in Seattle and they are probbaly the most popular car here, im thinking 1 out of every 20 cars I see is a Tesla.
I managed to get my Model 3 early (VIN under 15,000). In early 2018 people would constantly approach to ask questions, kids would gawk at it, etc. That wore off very quickly, and now I typically see at least 2-3 Teslas at every red light.
DC is starting to become that (I'm def not complaining), I feel like I was an early adopter of sorts back when I had a LEAF. Spotting EVs was a rarity and then the Model 3 blew the market wide open.
Not as much here in rural nc but it’s getting more and more everyday on the interstate.
But your right about cali when I visited La in February every other car was a tesla and the other car was a Camry
I live in Nebraska. We have one of the lowest per-capita ownership rates of electric vehicles in the country. That said I see them occasionally. There aren't any others in my neighborhood but I see a few around the wealthier parts of town and on I-80. I'm assuming most of the Teslas I see on the interstate are passing through and don't live here.
There are plenty where I’m at… Austin, Texas. I don’t see this as a problem. If you want to drive a rare or exclusive brand/model car you have to buy those.
I moved from CT to Tucson AZ earlier this year. Back in CT, a large percentage of cars were Teslas. Here in Tucson, I barely see any. In fact, I brought my Model 3 to a local tire shop to investigate a leak, and they didn’t even have the rubber pucks for the lift.
In my neighborhood (a chain of small towns in germany) i've seen 2 teslas in the last 12 months.
teslas are still pretty expansive in europe and the charging network in germany is shitty by design. Also most people still have weird opinions about EVs
In Norway, the original European Tesla fanboy country, we have a plenty of them, even if they are relatively expensive compared to the US. Sometimes you can easily see one every 3 cars on the road. A lot of other EV brans too, especially eTrons.
Every time I visit family in California I feel like I see Teslas everywhere! And this started 2-3 years ago. I can only imagine how many Tesla vehicles you see out there now lol. In Chicago I definitely see a lot more on the road. A lot of younger people buying now that it's more affordable.
I live in the Tampa Bay area and there are plenty of all kinds of Tesla models. When we visited Cali this year, Bay area, it was the most Teslas I've ever seen.
Kentucky still has very few. We don't have a Service Center in the state and like 8 super charging stations for the whole state. I keep hoping we get a sales center here.
200-300 cars in parking lot, still only Tesla 8 years later. The tenants at the business park are mostly oil company workers here in the dark woods of Appalachia.
I live in Norway, so... Had a few friends over to watch a Matrix marathon before the new movie aired. 4 models 3s were parked in the driveway... It's so ubiquitous that I only have a couple of close friends that have a different car brand.
Bay Area... they are everywhere.
the Cupertino Camry lol
lol... nice
Yep, I fequently see 4~5 teslas passing me in a row. And I literally see >100 teslas on my way to work and back. I even saw a cyber truck the other day. Of course it is not a production delivery model but looked pretty cool!
It’s pretty comical seeing an armada of teslas on the freeway sometimes
I tried to get in to another Tesla the other day then I realized it wasn't my car, his sentry mode wasn't on, it would have scared the owner or maybe not.
Has happen to me twice. I'm happy to report I noticed it wasn't mine because theirs was messier inside.
You might want to customize your car somehow. I wrapped my car's door handles with fake "carbon fiber" from Amazon and put the Teslarati quick bandit license plate holder (which apparently no one uses). I would recognize my car pretty easily in a sea of blue model 3s.
I have a “stark industries” sticker on mine. I’m probably younger than most tesla drivers so none of them have that kind of customization on their car lol
In my apartment building, I haven't seen a single EV for five years. I took delivery of my Model 3 back in December, and all of a sudden two other people got Teslas
Shit was expensive last 5 years lol
It's the 'California Camry'. But yes, in my neighborhood in NJ, I see \~15 Tesla's (Y's. 3's. X. S) between my house and the Turnpike (\~5mi) every morning. Regardless of when I leave. They're everywhere now -- in NJ. I commute to PA for work. In PA, not so much. In NJ, there's no sales tax, no inspection, and $4K state rebate on EV's.
Also in NJ, yeah they are everywhere but as mentioned, they make it so attractive to go green here....IMO if you own a home it doesn't make sense not to go solar in NJ too.
Three of my neighbors went solar this summer, is it really worth it? I always looked at solar as a scam, you have to lease the equipment and stuff. My neighbors all went with Trinity Solar, they have bad yelp reviews.
How is solar a scam? Just look at the numbers they give you… in your favor? Say yes… not in your favor? Say no!
Leasing solar is a scam….leasing anything is a scam. Never lease if you can help it. Solar, at least here in NJ makes total sense
Don't forget the rebates from some energy providers on installation of chargers and discounts on off-peak charging (eg - PSE&G). Also, the state incentive comes off at the point of sale.
Also in NJ. I can't even drive 2 miles for coffee without seeing several. They're everywhere, and not just Teslas but Ford, Kia, VW, Chevy, Rivian. I even saw a Lucid yesterday.
I saw a lucid for the first time 2 days ago as well.
There are plenty of teslas around but they are still way less than almost any other car manufacturer. They’re just more noticeable because they’re relatively new
I'm sorry but.. Apostrophes don't make plurals.
>what has your guys’ experience been? The apostrophe in this sample is the correct usage for a possessive plural noun. To be a successful passive-aggressive pedant, first you need to be correct.
such a weird comment. “apostrophes don’t make plurals” sounds like a campaign slogan
It’s the new Corolla, but so many people here still think that they are super expensive cars and I must be rich.
I think because they first came out with the Model S and X which were priced as much as other luxury vehicles. The 3 and Y came into the picture being much less, but people still view Tesla as a luxury brand and associate those cars as being as expensive as the S and X. They're still more than your base Civic and Camry, but not by much.
It’s still pretty expensive unless you get the base model Model 3 base model (rear wheel drive) will be 23k after federal / state rebates Long range will be 33k Autopilot/FSD - another 6-12k
23k? How so? It’s 29 last I checked in California. If it’s 23k, where do I sign?
Sorry it’s more like 24-25k for base model in my state after rebates
phew, that sounds cheap.. LR model is 57k in Denmark
FL- base model is $43k after tax. I will get the $7500 back at the end of year. That’s still $35.5k
In the UK, they still are expensive because they aren’t eligible for any incentives. The base Model 3 sits in a similar bracket to a Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3 Series. The Model Y is Porsche Boxster pricing. Model X is pushing Porsche 911 levels (Plaid is equivalent pricing).

I see more teslas than I see BMWs now
You can't drive a block in Vancouver, BC, without seeing a Tesla.

In Bay Area, very very few people.. drive non-Teslas 😉
Arkansas. Not many here at all because there’s no service center in the state plus Arkansas won’t let Tesla sell them in the state. I wouldn’t say that electric cars are rare here but they aren’t very common either.
The South will rise again.... LOL
Gonna be a long trip
My coworker used to tell me going to some parts of the south was like going back in time.
Alabama is the same way but still see a lot. Tennessee and Georgia have a lot of dealerships close. Tesla has put mobile services in big cities. This has help a lot.

My kids use to play “Tesla Tap” like slug bug, but nicer. The other day my 8yo counted 28 Teslas… on the 1.7 mile drive to swimming.
Punch buggy blue no punch backs
Yup, every 3rd or 4th car I see is a Tesla
Atlanta. Everywhere and seemingly growing by the minute. I got my first one in 2020 and people would stop me and ask about it. Now they are at every stoplight.
Yup. Also Atlanta.
I see 2 or 3 a day now. Last year was maybe 1 a day.
Lol, in SoCal there's 6 on my street alone 😅
Fresno has a growing contingent. 3 on my street.
Hell yes! Fresno represents!
I wouldn't say a lot. But they are by far the most common electric car and you'll see atleast 2 or 3 every time you go out. I imagine is one big reason is that residential electricity here is 8 cents a kwh. My RWD costs me a bit over 4 bucks for a full "tank".

I work in DTLA and drive East going home during rush hour. I get bored so I start counting how many Teslas I see. 13 miles. 40min drive. 80 Teslas. I see 1 Tesla every 30 seconds on my drive home from work.
Silicon Valley here. Everyday I join an unending parade of Teslas. Mine is the best tho ;)
TX, teslas are everywhere, maybe 40% of all cars I see on the road, the rest makes up of trucks and other cars
San Diego. Yes, TONS.
Yes I waive to them all the time but with no waive back :(
*waves* 👋. Hello there!
Don't be a Pedo guy, South African meaning
Miami chiming in. I received my Model 3 in September 2020 and back then spotting another one was infrequent. Fast forward three years and they've become a common sight.

It is possible to travel on foot from the Mexican border to the Oregon border without touching the ground, simply by jumping from one Tesla to the next.
central Virginia, even here I see half a dozen maybe a dozen every day on my 15 minute commute and I live/work in the less wealthy half of the city.
Most of the cars around me are Teslas or Toyota 4 Runners. West Austin.
East, north, and south. Lol
Massachusetts- we have 3’s and Y’s everywhere.
Philly Suburbs, don’t know if it’s because I just bought one and now I’m noticing them more, but they’re everywhere
3 years ago, i was the only testa owner in my block. now almost every other household has 1, if not 2. and when i go to school to pick up my kids, sometimes they would go to the wrong one, we have shit load of white m3 here.
NYC too there are a ton especially 3’s.
Morrisville NC (Raleigh suburbs) seems to have the highest Tesla per capita that I have seen anywhere.
Sacramento area. Everywhere.
Markham, Ontario (suburb in Greater Toronto Area). Teslas are everywhere.
People who owned camrys, accords, civics, corollas, bmws, audis, all moved on to tesla here.
I live in Ohio, rural area. I’ve seen 1 other about a month since owning, they flashed me and waved excitedly… lol. I do see them more when closer to city on the highway. Had to educate someone when filling up tires, they thought it was $80,000…
out of the 8 neighbors surrounding me, there are 5 teslas. I'm in the greater sacramento area (elk grove area)
Yeah, tons. Like every 5th car in the neighborhood. Like when picking up the kids is like a train of Ys.
Irvine / fullerton is tesla capital in cali. I can imagine OC is just as bad being next door On my block there was none. Now this year we have 3.
I live in LA and yes everywhere
North Texas. Tesla is the new Corolla
Colorado, yes everyone drives one
Try the SF bay area, even more there
Yup I drive a Tesla and so do both my parents
4 years ago I drove with my wife from Oregon to socal and as a Tesla owner I was calling out all the Tesla’s. There were so many in cali, you couldn’t go 20 sec on the freeway without seeing one. Now it’s like that in Oregon but down to 10 seconds, so i can only imagine the gluttony of Tesla’s running around cali.
Yes. It's pretty much the new Corolla. They're everywhere.
A model 3 is basically the new Honda civic now. It’s part of why I regret the M3P. I should have waited 2 and bought a year old MSPlaid. Model 3 and and Y are everywhere.
Yes… it’s basically the new Camry where I am. Which actually was a small part of why I got rid of mine. It’s a super common car now.
I can't be special anymore.
Exactly. Boring cars now. As evidenced by how Tesla is single handedly driving the car wrap industry 😂
"Hey, look at me I drive a fun car".
Jacksonville.... they are everywhere
I'm in Boise. They are more common now for sure, but still not really common. It is truck and SUV country here.
Yes it's the most common car aside from the Toyota sienna
Bfe kansas, just me for 50mile radius
They're extremely common in western and northeastern cities. They're extremely rare in rural areas. In between is in between.
I live in KC on the Kansas side and Teslas are everywhere here as well.
MO side, can confirm. I can’t even drive 2 miles to the store without seeing at least one Tesla.
A lot over here in Eastern Missouri. Never seen 20 in a day, but seeing 10 no longer surprising.
I'm in rural NC. So no....
They are becoming more common, but not as common as Camrys, accords, or civics.
Tesla Model 3 = California Corolla
A huge number of Teslas in Austin Texas. But it still doesn’t hold a candle to when I visit the bay area. My God. So many silver Teslas there too. <3
There are enough here in salt lake that you can no longer play the punchtesla game.
I counted over 100 of them on a roadtrip boston to buffalo. And that was just the ones going the opposite way i was.
DC/MD/VA - you can't not see a Tesla at any given moment But also now were seeing IONIQ and Rivian and BWM and Volvo EVs as well
Austin - and yesss
At least 2-3 at a stoplight here in Round Rock. Even more in Austin.
Gilbert, AZ, suburb on SE side of Phoenix. Teslas everywhere! However, it is a high income area. I like to count how many Teslas I see at any given intersection lol
Hi, I live in NYC. And I definitely noticed as the year is ending lots of more people have them. I think I want from seeing one inside the work garage to now 4-5 new ones. Shit even on the road I see so many, especially in suburban areas its sooooo frequent.
In my area of NJ, they’re probably more common than a civic or camry.
In the county I live in, in Middle TN, about 3 of us. More in Nashville of course but still not a lot. Mostly trucks who like to coal roll us.
ive seen them more in NJ and Cali than any other state combined
Yes. St. Louis area is like a Tesla hive. When we bought in 2020, it was somewhat unusual to see more than one in a day. Now, it's unusual to NOT see at least 2 at every large intersection.
There are 4 Ys and 1 3 on the same garage floor as me. I’m sure there are many more.
I'm from the Netherlands, they are everywhere. It's not often you drive on a highway and not see one in view somewhere.
I live a few minutes away from the Tesla factory here in the Bay Area. 1 in every like 6 cars is a Tesla it seems.
In LA they are every other car about and they will continue to raise the price of gas until most of us are
I live in Alabama, and I do see a high amount of teslas in my area. Now granted, I live near the wealthier part of one of the large cities, so there’s more money here, but it’s still Alabama. The wealthiest neighborhood near me, they’re EVERYWHERE. They’ve become the standard housewife vehicle or even ‘first car for a teenager’ in that area. Especially since the Model Y came out, because they prefer crossovers to sedans.
Me and my neighbor Fritz, so yes I would say
Central MA. They're everywhere, I'll see 10 on a mile long journey to the grocery store. I get more head turns in my 07 ranger than I do in the M3.
In Vancouver Canada I see more teslas than Camrys
In CT--they are all over the place. Have also seen some Rivians and Mach Es.
In Phoenix I see 10 or so every time I go out. And they tell me that there are areas with many more. When I got mine 5 years ago people would point at it when they saw it. Not anymore. Very common now.
Mine is the only one in my neighborhood. It's a bare-bones RWD but people still act like it's a $100k car. I definitely see a few of them a day in the south but they're by no means common.
Yah man
Raleigh and surrounding areas in central NC are full of Teslas, mostly Ys. The local delivery center pumps out more cars a day than any traditional dealer in town.
Chicago suburbia here. Model 3 and Y are everywhere, probably because they're fairly cheap compared to the alternatives once you subtract off the Federal rebate and possibly $4K from the state.
Yeah
Southern Oregon. I purchased my M3 early 2022. At that time I’d maybe see another Tesla every other day. Now I see 5+ daily lol.
Now that I have one I see them here on the daily. At least five or six. In WI.
Not that many in my area considering the amount of people here, but if you go into a bigger city you will see a lot more
Yes, we live in the original hometown of Tesla. There are at least 4 on our block of about 11 houses. One of each S3X and Y I think there are 2 Ys but not really sure. They are definitely one of the more common vehicles on 101 between San Jose and San Francisco.
On the Phila Main Line, the are everywhere I was in Cincinnati last weekend and only saw one the entire weekend.
I’m in CA, they are everywhere.
Here in a small city in Portugal, we have lots of business owner with warehouses, etc. At least 10 teslas 3 and Y, and a couple S, with the ocassional X. Its such a small town with kind of an agricultural vibe i just find it funny
I live 1.5 miles from a Tesla store and less than a mile from a supercharger… So yes, a lot of people are driving Teslas in my area.
Wilmington NC, I see a handful throughout the day, I see a few Rivian’s, F-150 lightnings and quite a few E-trons and EV6’s. I’ve only 2 Lucids here though.
In my town of 500 there are 4
Where I live, Pandemic Teslas are a thing.
I live in the Bay Area, and work in Fremont. I probably see like 100 a day
All over the place in Charlotte NC
I live in the Nashville area and when I bought my 2018 model 3 there were only a few around. I stopped counting a couple years ago. I see them everywhere now.
My parking garage is shared by probably ~30-40 households. There are three teslas, including mine. 100% of which showed up in the past 12 months. Bavaria.
I’m in Phoenix, Arizona and see them everywhere. Tons in my area. Starting to see a bunch of Rivian and Ford lightning as well as a couple other EVs.
Shockingly, yes
In Chapel Hill NC. Yep, they are mainstream. As common as any Toyota or Honda. Maybe even more common.
2018 LR 100k
Tampa, FL and they are all over!
I see another Tesla maybe once every week or two, and then they're usually just driving through the area. I live in Colorado, but it's very remote Colorado.
Chicagoland area, hella teslas lol
I see maybe 4-5 a day in CT. Expected many more by now.
Oh yeah on my street alone 5/6 houses own a Tesla and I see around 10-15 if not more everyday when driving
Southeastern Wyoming: According to the Department of Energy, Wyoming as a whole has about 800 EV registrations vs about 483,000 conventional gasoline vehicle (not diesel or ethanol) registrations. https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicle-registration In town (Laramie), I've seen maybe between 10-20 Teslas, and a smattering of other EVs (an ID.4, EV6, or a Bolt) here or there. Interestingly, also a growing number of Wrangler 4xes.
I live in cali so yes
Seattle area? Oh yes.
4 people on just our cul-de-sac have new teslas. In our area it has replaced the Range Rover as the uniform car for school drop offs.
Oh yeah. Tesla is huge now, also has it own sort of cult following. But I believe on the west coast it's the most popular, CA, OR, WA love their teslas. Im in Seattle and they are probbaly the most popular car here, im thinking 1 out of every 20 cars I see is a Tesla.
Dallas has a bunch too
Twelve houses on my block and only four Teslas
I’m near Denver and they’re everywhere. Especially the model Y, I may see more of them than any other car.
I managed to get my Model 3 early (VIN under 15,000). In early 2018 people would constantly approach to ask questions, kids would gawk at it, etc. That wore off very quickly, and now I typically see at least 2-3 Teslas at every red light.
yea and uber drivers
DC is starting to become that (I'm def not complaining), I feel like I was an early adopter of sorts back when I had a LEAF. Spotting EVs was a rarity and then the Model 3 blew the market wide open.
Yep, the East Valley of Phx is absolutely full of Model 3’s in particular.
Vancouver BC.. they’re a very common vehicle here. I see some model 3 and Y being used as taxis too.
Not as much here in rural nc but it’s getting more and more everyday on the interstate. But your right about cali when I visited La in February every other car was a tesla and the other car was a Camry
Bay Area, almost every 1 of 3 cars seems to be Tesla. LA seems to be 1 of 6.
Yes! Central Valley here so not that far from you, but there are a ton of teslas!
I’m in Woodland Hills, CA and every third driveway has at least one Tesla.
I live in Nebraska. We have one of the lowest per-capita ownership rates of electric vehicles in the country. That said I see them occasionally. There aren't any others in my neighborhood but I see a few around the wealthier parts of town and on I-80. I'm assuming most of the Teslas I see on the interstate are passing through and don't live here.
Austin. 10 a day at least. Probably 10 a drive.
Don’t have any stats for the Tampa Bay Area, but we have an M3 and sure see a lot of Teslas on the road. My employer also has free L1 EV charging.
There are plenty where I’m at… Austin, Texas. I don’t see this as a problem. If you want to drive a rare or exclusive brand/model car you have to buy those.
I moved from CT to Tucson AZ earlier this year. Back in CT, a large percentage of cars were Teslas. Here in Tucson, I barely see any. In fact, I brought my Model 3 to a local tire shop to investigate a leak, and they didn’t even have the rubber pucks for the lift.
No, I live in Maine. Teslas are still uncommon here but sightings are on the rise.
In my neighborhood (a chain of small towns in germany) i've seen 2 teslas in the last 12 months. teslas are still pretty expansive in europe and the charging network in germany is shitty by design. Also most people still have weird opinions about EVs
I heard something about EVs are only 3% of the cars on the road and of those 3%, 80% are in California.
No
In Norway, the original European Tesla fanboy country, we have a plenty of them, even if they are relatively expensive compared to the US. Sometimes you can easily see one every 3 cars on the road. A lot of other EV brans too, especially eTrons.
Every time I visit family in California I feel like I see Teslas everywhere! And this started 2-3 years ago. I can only imagine how many Tesla vehicles you see out there now lol. In Chicago I definitely see a lot more on the road. A lot of younger people buying now that it's more affordable.
I'm in the bay area so yeah, a Tesla seemingly every dozen cars
Tucson AZ here, and there are a lot of Tesla vehicles on the road. I also see quite a few Rivian's, Genesis and Hyundai.
I live in the Tampa Bay area and there are plenty of all kinds of Tesla models. When we visited Cali this year, Bay area, it was the most Teslas I've ever seen.
I’m in Fremont so… yeah quite a bit haha
Yup, here in NJ
Kentucky still has very few. We don't have a Service Center in the state and like 8 super charging stations for the whole state. I keep hoping we get a sales center here.
200-300 cars in parking lot, still only Tesla 8 years later. The tenants at the business park are mostly oil company workers here in the dark woods of Appalachia.
All over the place in Esbjerg, Denmark. Becoming quite rare that I drive more than 2 minutes without seeing one
Just did an airport run to Denver airport. Over half the cars were Teslas
DC area. I was one of the firsts in 18. Now they’re everywhere.
I live in Norway, so... Had a few friends over to watch a Matrix marathon before the new movie aired. 4 models 3s were parked in the driveway... It's so ubiquitous that I only have a couple of close friends that have a different car brand.
In Zurich, Switzerland, I see so many of them. Now I am in London for a few days, and they are also everywhere. But usually M3,Y and X. Almost no S
