They're Everywhere! (Probably Parked Next to You)
Let's be honest, you've seen them. Cruise down Lombard Street and you'll swear they're practicing synchronized driving (though with self-driving features, maybe that's not far off). Park on a random Tuesday night? Good luck finding a spot that isn't occupied by a Tesla with a falcon-wing door situation happening. It's like a game of "Spot the Tesla" wherever you go!

Number Crunching: Just How Electric is the Air?
Alright, alright, enough with the anecdotes. We want numbers, baby! While there's no official count tattooed on the Golden Gate Bridge (though that's a fantastic idea for Elon Musk), estimates suggest there are around 122,000 electric vehicles zooming around the San Francisco Bay Area. That's a lot of silent taxis and zippy commuters!
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
Fun Fact: That number is more than three times the national average for electric vehicles. Seems San Franciscans are trading in their road rage for a more chill, eco-friendly ride. Maybe it's the lure of skipping the pump, maybe it's to impress your neighbor with their cutting-edge chariot. Who knows?
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.

Tip: Write down what you learned.

Side Note: This doesn't mean there aren't other awesome electric cars on the scene. The Chevy Bolt EUV and the Toyota Prius Prime are making their mark, but for now, Tesla reigns supreme.
