Yes, Teslas are common in Silicon Valley, but I still want to see the sedan in person.

Seen over 20 roadsters already since I am in their neck of the woods but no sedan yet... hope to see one of them testing one day.

I totally agree. And that 50K base doesn't sound too bad either. I like the design of their car which is displayed on their site. Pano roof and 5+2 seating is kinda interesting as is the mileage and battery charge options.

Very common in silicon valley actually. I work very close to Club Autosport and i spot at least one every week. Plus they're always rolling around in Los Gatos. I still get them confused with the Elise though
