Tesla Model S is the vehicle of choice in many of America's wealthiest zip codes

Recently, I saw a headline from a Forbes article that said "Silicon Valley Dominates 2013 List of America's Most Expensive ZIP Codes." This is always an interesting list Forbes publishes that indicates where old (and new) money is thriving in the U.S. Silicon Valley is clearly where it's at in 2013, as the list reads like a flashback to a pre-bust Y2K.

I was curious how this wealth affected Tesla Model S ownership, as that car has become the undisputed darling of the Silicon Valley set. What I found was surprising - I expected to see good numbers in California but I wasn't expecting to see double-digit market share in several wealthy West Coast areas.
