| spent 2+ hours around Old Town earlier today and saw only 1 tesla on a street and 1 in a boat club parking lot and and 1 parked on street. that's it. not sure why i started trying to look for them but it was just so surprising to me - 1st time visiting Old Town in 2 years. of course i'd missed a few but still way less than any typical NoVa streets i believe. Perhaps it was never popular around Old Town or its neighboring jurisdictions, or, we are seeing actual changes or a trend. i respect everyone's choice of buying/keeping a car but if Old Town people really are selling their teslas now that's quite impressive. |
| Many people are unloading their swastikars. |
And taking a huge hit to do so. Not sure what that is "proving" as it’s only hurting them. |
Its doing a lot. It's one of the reasons why Elon is backing off the government and trying to focus on his businesses |
It’s hurting them financially, a little bit. It’s doing wonders for their conscience, though. |

I saw two in Alexandria today in 30 seconds, that refused to stop for me (and others) in a crosswalk.
Teslaholes are still very much around. |
People selling used Teslas do not hurt Tesla at all. They already got paid for that car. Try again. |

I live in Bethesda, where every 4th car is a Tesla.
Every 4th car is still a Tesla. However since the latest recall, I don't see Cybertrucks anymore, which is marked improvement, as those are death traps. I don't fault Tesla owners for keeping their cars. Most of them bought some time ago. |
Buying a used Tesla can also mean not buying a new one. So the person who makes money isn't Musk, it's the Tesla seller. |
same in Arlington. plenty of them on the roads. so why is Old Town different? |

I'm not driving my Tesla to certain parts of NOVA - the protesters get in your face sometime. I support the protesters, wont buy another one until Elon is kicked out.
It's a good car. The Tesla team that created it was/is not Elon - he's just the glorified spokesman. He didn't startup Tesla - 2 other dudes did. He didn't come up with the innovations his team did. He even said the EV Car was bound to happen with/without him that was before maga-Elon appeared. Hope the board throws him out and we can go back to the EV revolution. |
There are so many other EVs now. The EV revolution can happen even if people are not buyign Teslas. |
| In McLean I see them everywhere like 3 or 4 in a row. |
|
They’re still all over Arlington.
What I have not been seeing is a cyber truck, is that because of the recall? |
True and BYD is beginning to dominate internationally. The price of FSD is a full car from BYD and BYD includes(for "free") FSD in cars than can handle it. I just want to drive my Tesla without looking like a ... I got mine when Fed Credit wasn't in place so it's a lot of money to make a political statement. My next car this year will not be a Tesla as you said a lot of good options. |
