    I feel like I have seen way too many on the road for only 3000 to have been sold.

    Maybe I have a lot of dipshits living near me?

        Can you imagine. Putting together an entire assembly line. Logistics. Parts outsourcing. From the die stamp machine with tolerances of 0.0001" to make those shitty stainless steel bodies to how many rolls of toilet paper there should be in each stall, or the type of soap in the luch room. All those intricate details. To only sell 39,000 of those shitboxes.

          Tesla probably skipped half that, the die stamp machine is from a dumpster in Detroit, and employees are expected to shit at a Starbucks during their break.

        I’ve seen one in the non capitol or metro area in Canada I live in, though there is money here since it’s nice. So yeah I figured there must be more out there than the post said. First one I’ve seen in person, it look liked it belonged in a B movie, I couldn’t help but laugh. I do think it’s a good thing for people try and pollute less of course, just not want to give more money to the Nazi born having already won the game of life.

      Same. I see one everyday minimum. I saw two in one parking lot once. I have probably seen up to 5 in a day before.

      I am pretty sure the 3,000 figure was the initial founders edition and that the figure should be revised now. some asshole in my town had one of the original ones though I’m pretty sure

      Red car syndrome? Or maybe you live in a better off area? I don’t think you’re gonna see too many of these dumpsters in rural areas, so wealthier suburban/urban areas is where they’ll be. Even in my small town about 90 miles from a metro area there are at least two I see regularly. They really stand out.
