Elon Musk might have analysts scratching their heads over sales numbers and projections, but the people have spoken on which Tesla is their favorite.
PartCatalog looked at geotagged data across 25,000 tweets, tracking the popularity of each Tesla model over the past month.
The Tesla Model 3 barely edged out the Model S, with 25 states compared to 22. The Model X was also able to pick up a couple states (3) while the Roadster did not win any states (not surprising considering its hefty price tag).
Also interesting is there seems to be a regional component, with the Model 3 winning both coasts, and the Model S taking the middle of the country.
The upcoming Model Y was also tracked, but did not win any states.
In the end, Tesla and Elon Musk continue to win popularity contests across the United States – the number of social media mentions far outweighed all other car manufacturers we looked at.
