    Who can say for certain - but according to at least one journalist, Tesla made out like bandits during the Super Bowl.

    New electric car ads at the Super Bowl, Tesla gets publicity for free - Electrek
    Perhaps this will light a fire under other manufacturers that are not so anxious to get their feet wet - entering into the US EV market

    If it were me, being such a huge sports fan, I’d probably tune in for the ads and skip the ... lessee, football, is it?

    i used to watch the ads when they were creative and funny.

    but that has been substituted by 'let's put a bunch of celebrities in a lame commercial' and people go for it.:rolleyes:

    All the adds were on Reddit in recent days, so many of them were re-runs for me. :)

    Not sure I'd call Electrek or their writers "journalists." It's more of a blog/commentary on the news. They routinely do clickbait headlines and I refuse to give them my clicks. I prefer Teslarati, Clean Technica, Inside EV's, or lots of others with more integrity.
