My Tesla is plastered with bugs any time I leave Chicago. I don’t doubt the insect populations are falling, but I don’t relate to all of these clean car claims.

My Tesla is plastered with bugs any time I leave Chicago. I don’t doubt the insect populations are falling, but I don’t relate to all of these clean car claims. It must vary a lot within the Great Lakes region.
- Comevius 4y agoI think insect variety in that case is restricted to a few species that keep thriving due to the sudden lack of predators. Like that brown marmorated stink bug that's killing the crops.
- throwaway894345 4y agoYeah, after hand scrubbing the "grill" of my car several times this year (the concave plastic bit that replaces a grill on lower-end Teslas), it definitely seems like a lot of flies, but I'm no entomologist.
- fullstop 4y agoThat stink bug, along with the spotted lantern fly, were invasive species from Asia which were first discovered in the USA --- in Allentown Pennsylvania! That's right, the same place referenced in the article.
