Lightning sightings on the rise!

[LazyLightningATX]

I got my Lightning in Austin just about 1 year ago and rarely saw other Lightnings on the road at that time.

Now, I see one just about every time I am out for any significant length of time, especially commuting to and from work.

Just this morning, as I was rolling into downtown on S. 1st, I was part of mini Lightning parade! 3 of us in a row! Anyhow, fun to see more out there and just more evidence that despite what we keep hearing these days, more and more EVs are hitting the road everyday!

I got mine at the end of 2022, someone up the street from me appears to have traded in their powerboost for a new Lariat a month or so ago.

We're taking over the neighborhood....or at least the block. Unsure.

Been seeing a lot more as well.

That's awesome! We're glad to hear it.

For some strange reason, I see a lot more rivians and cybertrucks where I drive. Just the other day I drove for about 30 miles and saw 2 other lightnings compared with 8 cybertrucks. I also saw 3 rivian trucks.

Purchased my truck in March. Previously to purchasing the truck I saw one Lightning in my hometown....in the last two months I have see 5 additional Lightnings consistently driving around...I have also had a lot more people recognize and then ask questions about the vehicle. My informative pitch has gotten fairly refined. Lay down the (mostly) good and the challenges.

Just saying you may want to check the data share stipulations on that site before you give any info.

In Birmingham, Teslas are everywhere. I now even see Rivians multiple times a week, if not at least one everyday. Lightnings are still a little rare. Maybe one or two a month. It’s always exciting to see another one though.

I was just having fun!

From that map, looks like a lot of Lightnings are heading overseas from Florida

Maybe I don't get out enough. Other than mine, I haven't seen a Lightning in months; maybe a year.
Regardless, I saw a Cybertruck recently and a Rivian every once in a great while. However, I see Teslas everywhere.
I'm in the Cincinnati area.
