I question the assertion that a typical Tesla customer is “totally unplugged from politics”. Why should I believe that the relatively small percentage of people that can afford a Tesla are also not at least politically influenced in their purchasing decisions?

Yeah - agree on this. In my anecdotal experience, Tesla owners typically are educated professionals who are well established in their career and/or finances. They're also 90% homeowners because of the charging logistics (charger in garage). Unsurprisingly, these people are also typically invested into politics.

Exactly. Your typical luxury EV buyer is not unplugged from politics.
