The thing is, my friend in SF says he rarely ever sees a model S. Granted SF isn't the most car-friendly city and the mental hurdle of driving from SV to SF prevents many people from driving into the city (I for one always take the bart from Daly City rather than drive in).

SF is the most geographically close, high income center near SV, and yet it doesn't have many Model S's, despite the strong coolness factor that it'd get being so geographically close by. Some surreal proportion of Model S sales must be in SV...




You basically have to have a garage with power to buy one. There is a good reason they aren't as prevalent in the city as they are in the valley.


You can sometimes get it installed in a condo with underground parking, but even that is hard, and if you're just renting, it's a lot of hassle to go through. I've seen stories about people being charged >$500/mo for the hookup (with unlimited electricity, true) and absurd buildout costs.


That is totally false. I see at least three/day in SoMa.
