Tesla Inc. is no longer selling the majority of new electric cars registered in California, the state that accounts for almost a third of all

    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.

      Tesla has basically only two models and even those two look quite samey, one is just more bloated, ao ofc you see them everywhere
