Best Electric Vehicles Subreddits (November 2026)

Looking for the right electric vehicles community on Reddit? Here is the lay of the land. We checked the communities Reddit returns for “electric vehicles” and “tesla”, kept the public, safe-for-work ones with at least 25,000 members that are still posting, and ranked the 10 that remain by size. Together they have 4.7M members.

How the electric vehicles communities compare

A few giants dominate — r/teslamotors, r/electricvehicles and r/TeslaModel3 together account for 85% of the combined membership. Size and activity don't line up perfectly: r/teslamotors has the most members, but r/electricvehicles gets the most new posts (about 39 a day, against 16 in r/teslamotors). Per member, the liveliest is r/ModelY: 37 posts a day from 59.7K members — a smaller crowd, but an engaged one. The oldest is r/Tesla, founded in 2008, and every community here is more than five years old — this is a long-established corner of Reddit.

Choosing where to post

Competition for attention differs a lot: r/teslamotors has 3.5M members but only about 16 new posts a day — roughly one new post for every 215.1K members — while r/electricvehicles gets about 39 a day, one for every 8.7K. A strong, well-made post therefore has more room to be seen in r/teslamotors; r/electricvehicles is better when you want quick replies.

Big subreddits give a post the widest audience, but they also bury it quickly; the mid-sized communities on this list are usually friendlier for questions and first posts. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
