Not California.
For those from California, please tell me more about how no-one cares.
The odd thing, is that no Prius driver has ever said a word to me..
Out here in CA, BMW / Merc / Audi are getting their lunches handed to them big time by the model 3. Not saying that isnt happening in other places, but Model 3s are common enough that people treat them just like a 3 series, which is, they dont pay attention to them unless something "different" is done to them.
No one pays attention to 3 series BMWs, Audi A3/4s or Merc C class cars either, unless they are M / S-RS/ or AMG, for the most part and tesla falls right in line. What DOES happen though, is people who know you may ask some questions, usually starting with "how far does it go" and "how long does it take to charge".
A couple days ago a plumber did a little repair work. He saw Tessie in the garage. "Wow, nice car!" he exclaimed. "You ever been in a Tesla?" When he shook his head, I invited him to go for a ride around the block, which he eagerly accepted. I explained things as we rolled along, then I slowly pulled onto a lonely street (I live in the desert, lots of those around here), and said, "When you own a Tesla, you can also do this." It was in Ludicrous Mode and I floored it. He slammed into the seat. I backed it into the garage and showed him how to start the charging process. I let him plug it in. "Who needs gas anymore?" I cracked. He just shook his head in wonderment. Then he left for his next job...impressed.Not from California.

50% of Teslas sold in Cali is a pretty insane stat but I believe it. It's normal for me to see 20 or more on an average day. Then again I live right by a SuperchargerOp location sayws "michigan".
You almost have to throw california out when it comes to tesla. I think something like 50% of teslas are sold into california, so our experiences out here dont count relative to the rest of the US.

I've been seeing more and more Model Y's. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the streets get flooded with them. You know the one car I haven't seen that I really want to see? A Porsche Taycan. It's been out for at least 8 months now and I still haven't spotted one.
I could definitely see people being drawn into by the motorized doors on the X. It's such a "WOW" factor if you never seen it before. Reminds of the Mercedes SLK and Lexus SC I owned back in the day that had the hardtop convertible. People always wanted to see it in action.I'm in San Francisco and every time a Model X stop somewhere there are still some onlookers of various age waiting to see the FWD in motion. (myself include...)
I live in Mission Valley in SD and it's not that uncommon for me to see high end cars. There's a lot of middle-eastern kids here with rich parents. I used to live in an apartment complex and one of the kids drove a Bentley lol. But yea, I would think my chances of running into a Taycan by now is relatively high but guess not.You will probably see that one with a similar frequency of seeing other cars that cost 125-150k. I dont personally see many cars that cost that much on the road where I am (I do see a ton of cars that would be in the 30-90k range though).

As a weird anti-social human being with a lot of cats, I can proudly say I've never been interested in a Prius. I've only ever been interested in terrorizing them with my Performance Model 3.This is absolutely correct. I don't know what it is about Prius people, but every single one of them that I know are indeed antisocial and miserable human beings. I'd add "preppers" to the list too. Right now they're home with 500 rolls of toilet paper and 1 ton of cat litter. The apocalypse is upon us!
Especially at Fashion Valley mall here you'll often see high end cars parked in the valet section. I honestly think the Taycan is a great car but definitely overpriced. It's going to be interesting to see how well they sell now since they just released the cheaper 4S model which is only 100K.its off topic for this thread, but yeah if you are down in Mission Valley and havent seen even one, thats somewhat indicative of how they are doing. Sample size of 1 for sure, but down there you should have seen at least one by now.

I really enjoy driving my Tesla around, during these COVID times, it provides a great escape from reality. I have run into so many people that I would never have expected to be Tesla fans. Seeing the broad appeal across ages, races, political backgrounds, current vehicle choices. Tesla has a much broader appeal than just an “Electric car”.
