One million sales? It needs to be all sales. Don't buy swasticars.
Honestly surprised it is so low.
For a while, I saw them all over the fucking place, probably 50 on my commute.
These days I see 2-3 and very rarely see the trucks. I wonder where they all are now. I seeing 10 of the trucks per day. Now, maybe one.
You're kinda lucky. I see them everywhere with their goofy vanity plates, and way too many swastitruks with crazy wraps.
I don't think they're all muahaha nazis, but they do have an air of aimless consumer zombies who ignorantly bought something ridiculous to show everybody how cool they are. (Kinda like musk himself.)
And they sure do drive like their "autopilot" could do a better job. Geeze.
As far as most dangerous, aggressive, petty idiots on the road go, my low expectations are tied between "tesla products" and "white pickup trucks with obnoxious stickers and a toolbox." Followed very closely by "My brand new enormous Mercedes SUV says I can do whatever I want."
Most of the the jackwagons in my area must have sold them to jackwagons in your area :)
scrapyards. impossible to fix, written off by insurance for minor crashes. GREEN.
Same. Almost 1 in 3 cars that I saw, at one point, was a Tesla (in certain areas).
They're still around, but definitely not nearly as many.
And yet Tesla sales are increasing once more 🤷♂️ People are stupid, don't care or both.
only in US.
I saw one a week or two ago with several bumper stickers apologizing for Musk and literally explaining that they got the car before we knew.
For as long as Musk has been in the picture, he has been a walking red flag inferno. "I bought it before he went crazy!" Dude, it has been so clear from the beginning he's crazy, you're just ignorant AF.
People are so stupid. Even when I told them he is crazy they try to defend the guy. Only now they come with these dumb bumper stickers as they cannot find ways to defend him anymore, so they try to cover their ass with a fucking sticker.
