I’d say this is anecdotally false. I live in a rural area in the US and I just keep seeing more and more teslas popping up on the road. I wonder if they are showing up at more dealerships now where more consumers have the opportunity the make an uninformed purchase? Not sure.

I feel like anyone who has done surface level research on a tesla would avoid then. I haven’t even done that and I know just from seeing articles that I didn’t even seek out that they are pretty shitty cars, even if you ignore Elon’s existence.
