We Used To Play "Spot the Tesla" in Montana
When my son started to notice more Tesla vehicles across Montana he used to shout it out. They used to be a rare sight, so it was a game we played when traveling. Now we don't play the game nearly as much, because Teslas are much more common these days. One of these days we will eventually see the new Tesla Cybertruck on Montana roads. Recently a video went viral of a Cybertruck getting stuck on a snowy road while out getting a Christmas tree. It was pulled out by a Ford truck. You can see the video and an explanation of what happened below.
