More anecdata, but I’m also in the “would buy Model Y but for Musk” camp.
It’s not just the Q fueled toxic masculinity that he exudes but an understanding of how organizations work and that values come from the top down.
In paper it’s a fantastic car and deserves it’s popularity.

I am too. I do like the Model Y and have driven them hundreds of miles while doing rental cars. I ended up with a different EV because of Musk. I don’t make it a point to tell people this, and I don’t imagine anyone really cares why I got the particular car I did, but ethically and philosophically I didn’t get a Model Y.

You need "only" 3% of new sales to be the top selling car in the country.
That's obviously an incredible accomplishment to hit 3%, but just pointing out that calling a group of people "tiny minority" here doesn't really make any sense.
It could easily be the case that more than 50-percent of people would never buy from Tesla.
The buyers who have made the car the best-selling car on Earth obviously couldn't care less about the opinions of virtue signallers.
