They look awesome. And the guy driving it looked like Doug DeMuro.

(This is the only picture I got because I was busy navigating my mom through Pittsburgh, she was freaking out because she couldn’t find the driveway we were stopped right next to)

How in the Sam Hill have you not seen one of these yet? They’ve been on sale for three years and they are absolutely everywhere.

Test drove my first Tesla this weekend. As expected, it’s very nice. Doesn’t feel as heavy as it actually is, especially when you massage the accelerator pedal. Tech is great. Interior is nice. What's not to like?

I’m going to buy one. Just have to sell off a few internal organs and limbs...

I had never seen one until last summer. I saw a shit-ton on a visit to Vancouver this spring, but I’ve only seen three or four in my hometown, and all but one of them were likely tourists.

Interesting. I live in a city with no Tesla dealer and limited public charging ports, but I can barely back out of my driveway without hitting one.

Where I live its a big deal to see something that isn’t ford gm or chrysler, I live in a very dark place.

At this point I would expect to see at least one everytime I get in the car (even in MICHIGAN)!

I’m with you. But I’ll keep my limbs.

These are so common here it’s amazing. The Tesla today is kind of like what South Park said of Prius drivers ten years ago.

Well this is about 3 hours away from where I live, I don’t think I’ll be seeing another Tesla for some time

Yeah where I live there is seriously none of them, they’re simple country folk and don’t believe in this newfangled electric nonsense

The main thing is that they are fucking expensive.

My mind is blown. I see like 10-15 on an average day...

How have you never seen one of these yet? I see at least one every single day. Ontario govt offers $8500 incentive for buying one of them so that could be why (still expensive as shit).

Not to be an ass mate :) but.. first Tesla? I live in a small town (think 30k people) and there’s probably 15-25 teslas here :)

Yeah, it’s kinda terrible, I never see anything fun.

Yeah, I don’t see that many awesome cars here though.. there’s the odd Audi R8 and a Porsche GT3 RS and such.. We had the Euronats 2015 a few miles away a week or so though, that was rather awesome.

I might live in a smaller one. 20k people, but probably 1-in-50 cars are Teslas.

Isolated from other towns? If so, I'm surprised you don't have at least a handful of Teslas in the area. I mean, if you live and work in the town, why would you need much range?
