I was living in Arlington VA near the new Amazon corporate HQ. I feel like I saw all 173 of those things.
I see multiple daily near Vancouver - how many are repeat I don't know though
You should scrape an identification number into the doors, hood, roof, and rear. Just so you can keep track. For science.
It's hard to tell when they're all the same color.
Here in Canada they get vinyl wrapped pretty quick to help protect from the salt.
As such they are pretty identifiable. There's about 3 in my neighborhood I see from time to time.
I actually thought they were interesting looking when they first pitched them. Would never buy one now though for all obvious reasons.
Most I see are just matte black
its also a very awkward vehicle too.
i saw multiple ones that were rapped with different patterns of collor. still ugly asf.
The best color I've seen so far has been gloss black because it kinda hides the shape.
I almost replied similarly, just means they didn't sell many BASE models.
I live in a relatively rural area outside a city "highway loop" and I see them all the time here. Someone down the road at a small business owns one so I see that one all the time but there are plenty around here and often wrapped in some weird colors.
i saw a large in crease in tesla starting last year, as soon as people forgot about MUSK doing his doge shit in the wh, saw a increase in purchases.
Is VA the new DE?
DE is for ghost companies.
