In my very expensive part of LA, I see a number of Hyundai Ioniq, a lot of BMW i3s, even a number of Jaguar i-PACEs, but one or two Tesla Model 3. There used to be more Teslas in the neighborhood when they had no competition from other automakers but a lot of the local owners (including several good friends) jumped to other automakers as soon as they could.

This is why I've been extremely bearish on Tesla in my HN posts. I've seen firsthand their place in their target market suffer as the competition heats up.

Moreover, visiting friends back in the Midwest (Chicago and Cleveland)--they're almost all BMWs, Nissans, and Chevys. A few guys have the high-end Tesla Model 3s to show off at events, but they use their i3s for daily commuting.
