Tesla Model S sightings vs F10 M5
I'm not sure why the imbalance, but I see at least one Tesla per day but have only seen one F10 M5 in the last year. Is this the same in the rest of the country? world?
BTW - There are no Tesla dealers in Virginia and I'm less than 3 miles from a BMW dealership. Where are all the M5 daily drivers in Virginia? |

In SoFL I see between 1-3 Tesla's per day. I see an M5 maybe once every 3-4 weeks.

I prefer the exclusivity of the M5.

Tons of Teslas here in Austin. Don't see too many M5's although I know they are out there since the ones at the dealership don't last long.
We have a Tesla showroom, but you can't order one there. Texas laws prohibit the sale without a dealer involved. I guess you either order online or out of state and have it shipped. When the superchargers go in on I-35 or wherever they are planned, I'm sure you'll see plenty more. |

M5 is not a car, it is a trim level. It is a BMW 5 series and there is nothing exclusive about that.

OP you are right. In Northern Virginia I see a Model S every time I drive. The Tesla store in Tysons Corner probably helps out with the sales as every time I past by the store at the mall it seems it had tons of people there. I am also starting to see F10 M5s here too...about once a week.

Raced one last night and kicked it's ass... its definitely a fast car tho. Had me by half a car off the line because I was spinning but after that it was game over.. literally right after the first 15ft.

You are comparing any Tesla to the highest model of F10 5 Series. The correct comparisons would be: Tesla S (all chassis) vs BMW F10 (all chassis) Tesla S P85+ vs BMW F10 M5 In either of this more apples to apples comparisons, the Tesla is more rare.

I haven't seen an M5 or M6 on the road since for at least 3 months. I see a lot of M3s Don't see many Teslas either, other than at their charging station near Bakersfield, that's about 130 miles north of where I live. Orange county probably has more of both.

In my neck of the woods you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Tesla. In the Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville area east of SF I see them all the time. I think that they have become the "it" car around here. Nearly bought one myself just before I bought the M5. After much research and test drives I decided that the M was just a better overall automobile and a better value. Probably not a very PC decision for my area but I really don't care. Love my car. F10 M5's are few and far between where I live, I hardly ever see one.

They are easy to spot. Just look for the plume of smoke.
