Just because you see Teslas and recognize them doesn't mean others do.
Also California is Tesla's home turf, not really a good example for the country or the whole addressable market.

>The point is that it's a very, very reasonable assumption that Tesla is more likely to be known by the average person than SolarCity.
These two things contradict each other. Why would Tesla be known by people that cannot recognize Teslas?
It's not necessarily contradictory. I know Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, etc are luxury sports car brands. But if one drives past me on the road, I probably won't recognise them.
