In large cities Tesla's are still common as fuck, even cybertrucks, the market is starved for electric vehicles and buyers want choices but there still aren't enough.
If you drive around the west coast, you will see Teslas and other electrics around you all the time all around you in growing numbers, it's not slowing down and Tesla ain't going out of business anytime soon, so please, for the love of factual reality, let's not buy into the pandering memes.
Those are all MAGAs, or people who bought them before Musk irreparably destroyed his reputation. Sales are way, way down EVERYWHERE in the world, they are getting worse, and they aren't coming back. You are seeing so many of them because people can't get rid of them because they have absolutely no resale value, nobody wants them. Most Tesla buyers would dump them if they could, but even Tesla won't take them back in trade. There is no market for them, used or new.
If Musk hadn't dismantled the agencies that were investigating his products, they'd probably already be prohibited from building any more, until they meet regulatory compliance.
I'm in the UK and I'm astounded at how many 2024/2025 Teslas there are in this country, and I'm an hour out of London so not even a city :(
