The point wasn't that I recognize Tesla's, but that Tesla's are a part of daily life in numerous places (see that 50% of the locations I mentioned are not, in fact, in California), whereas I have never interacted with SolarCity nor anyone else who has interacted with them. The point is that it's a very, very reasonable assumption that Tesla is more likely to be known by the average person than SolarCity.

These two things contradict each other. Why would Tesla be known by people that cannot recognize Teslas?
- cynix 10y ago> These two things contradict each other. Why would Tesla be known by people that cannot recognize Teslas? It's not necessarily contradictory. I know Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, etc are luxury sports car brands. But if one drives past me on the road, I probably won't recognise them.
- mbrameld 10y agoI'm very familiar with Tesla from simply reading online. Mostly HN, but they are often mentioned on mainstream news sites too. I could recognize a Tesla car in the wild if I was able to read the word "Tesla" on it somewhere, but from say 20 feet away looking at the side I'd have no clue what make it was.
- the_watcher 10y agoKnown by more people does not, in any way, mean I am claiming that people who don't recognize Tesla's know about the company. They are not contradictory at all
