    I kind of get it though.

    People with Bay Area tech salaries could often afford $40-$60 or more for a car. Up until a few years ago, Teslas were kind of the most practical thing if you could afford an EV with good range. There were not a lot of other long range / faster charging EVs on the market.

    These says I’m not seeing as many Teslas with dealer plates. There are other long range / fast charge options out there. People are often buying other stuff if they’re buying their first EV. Kias, Fords, Rivians, Polestars. Telsa isn’t the only game in town anymore.

      Tesla isn’t the only game in town

      And unlike tesla, those other companies haven’t horrific build quality issues. Or stuck accelerator pedals

          No kidding, at the time this happened, Toyota’s slogan was Toyota: Moving Forward.

      The real trick is to look at the carpool stickers. Ours are expired but they’re still on the car; they’re the pinkish purplish ones. I see a lot of expired red ones too.
