I live in Southie and work in Burlington and I see them all the time. Aside from myself, there are 2 or 3 MX that I see around in the morning in Boston and my office looks over 128 so I watch cars all day and I see tons. I see lots of S X and 3. Even the occasional first gen roadster.

Second this. I drive an X and it way out preforms my previous Toyota in the snow. Wider tures, variable suspension, insanely fast AWD traction with instantaneous torque when needed? There's no comparison.

We'll be adding our 3 to the mix in Boston area in Nov. But I have to 2nd the comment about electric rates. Super high cost of electricity AND no time of day metering from National Grid.
Actually, narrower tires are better in snow, as they tend to "cut through" vs "ride over" - https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=126
I think it's just weight and awesome traction control. My RWD S is fantastic in snow with Hakka R2's. I've gotten it stuck once or twice - intentionally to test it. Parked on an ice covered hill, silly things like that.
Your assumptions about VT are dead wrong. VT has one of the highest Tesla sales per capita of any state in the country. It's higher than MA. Guess which state had the HIGHEST Tesla sales per capita for the first Tesla model (the Roadster). Hint: It was VT. They beat CA and every other state.
Here's the best way to know about the amount of Teslas in Boston: MOR-EV Program Statistics | MOR-EV

That's interesting data to look at. It also looks like there isn't much funding remaining? Is that just over the TTM or is it really coming down to the end?
That data is great to see (major upswing this year).
I do have to say that I see Tesla’s constantly on the pike, 128, and 93. For the past couple of years I’ve worked in the financial district of Boston and in the building’s parking garage were several Tesla Model S’s and one X (not a huge garage). BUT I do see more Teslas in the suburbs than the city itself. I live in Framingham/Natick area and there are ton out here. It’s been fun to see a major uptick in the number of Model 3 sightings out here recently.

I think somebody mentioned somewhere else that as the money run out they request more funding and last information was that there was another set of funding on the way.
That's not surprising at all. Even on the map in MOR-EV you can see that Weston has by far the largest amount of Teslas registered (not surprising at all, since Weston is the richest city in New England). Lexington is second with Lincoln not too far behind.
