There are signs the billionaire is becoming unpopular with the very demographic group most likely to buy EVs

It’s not driving away his target market, it’s fully changed it. His target market is now MAGA brain-rot Republican weirdos, who also want an EV. It’s not a big market.

People with concern for and a desire to do something about Climate Change are the largest demographic buying EVs, and they are a very left-leaning bunch. To say Elon’s rhetoric has pushed that market section away is a dramatic understatement.

I would’ve bought a Tesla years ago, if it weren’t for that piece of shit.

I did buy a Tesla years ago. Won’t consider replacing it with another one when the time comes…

I mean my wife and I are a perfect example. After moving into our home I had every intention of getting a Tesla for us both and putting in a home charger. I will say we LOVE our Hyundai Ioniq 6 and will be waiting to see what they release next. Tough shit Elon.

Careful now! He might sue you if he finds out you didn’t buy his car.

I’m a less perfect example. Wanted to buy an EV but Teslas were probably too expensive for me to even consider. I don’t know for sure because I literally never even looked at the Tesla options. I love my Chevy Bolt EUV that I plug into a normal 120 V exterior outlet. Fuck off, Elon.

Same but EV Blazer. Tesla never entered the decision making process.

It’s been Times Square billboards for a while now.

Don’t bully anyone in traffic.

I bully car drivers in traffic. If a car is stopped in the middle of the pedestrian crossing I give the hood a bang with my hand as I pass. But honestly anyone who drives a car deserves to be made fun of.

If you touched someone’s private property because you don’t like where it’s currently stopped it says more about you then them.

Zero emotional intelligence. What a stupid, stupid man-child. In retrospect, it is utterly unsurprising that he dove in head first on red pill, pro-maga, pro-putin joe rogan toxic meathead idiocy.

I mean, not much intelligence, period. The only thing Elon ever did intelligently is invest his father’s blood diamond money.
