Photos of several abandoned Tesla cars on a lot in Tampa, Florida, went viral after being shared on Reddit.
The user, known as LSDBunnos, was the one who shared the “Tesla cemetery”: “Does anyone know what this is? Hundreds of Model 3s in a lot overgrown with vegetation,” he asked.
In the images, you can see many electric vehicles, mainly the 2024 Model 3, spread across a lot with tall grass and no protection from sunlight. Curiously, some cars feature tires and seat colors different from Tesla’s standards.
Although the photos have inspired humorous comments online, such as the idea of an “organic Tesla farm,” other users responded that it is an excess Tesla lot, belonging to the company’s unit at International Plaza, a luxury mall in the region. Due to overcrowding at local delivery centers, the vehicles were temporarily stored on this land.
The situation does not necessarily indicate an oversupply problem by Tesla but rather an issue of inadequate infrastructure to store the cars. These vehicles may suffer damage to the paint, interior, and electrical system due to the lack of protection and care.
