Tesla is going to tank so hard. The people buying Teslas were wealthy Democrats who thought Musk cared about the environment. Half (maybe more) of the GOP doesn't even care about environmental issues. This is political positioning on his part to get ahead of elections and try to align with the party he thinks will win.

Now watch as he starts pandering towards the GOP regarding his failed Twitter acquisition.

You might be surprised how little people actually regard the owner's political opinion of the miltibillion dollar corporation from which they just bought a quarter-million dollar car. I wouldn't even be surprised if a significant percentage of Tesla owners don't even know who owns the company.

Musk's face is everywhere. Let's do the science to be sure.

Okay, serious overestimation. All of these prices are so far out of my budget that I don't make any distinction :)

They don't mind not spending on gas. Who does enjoy that?
