The decline has nothing to do with projections and promises and everything to do with Elon alienating a huge part of potential customers. I was someone who went from wanting a Tesla to never buying one as long as Elon own a single share in the company.

Weird to see people buy inferior cars on the basis that they cannot tolerate car company CEOs having different political opinions to their own.

1. Hondas are not inferior cars.
2. It's not about "different political opinions", it's far beyond that and to suggest so tells anyone reading your comment everything they need to know about you.

For some people it isn't 'just politics'. They feel threatened by potential loss of freedom and life. If it was just a disagreement on tax rates or some government spending it would be different. His views are against someone else's existence.

Weird to see people downplay the significance of the degree of differing political opinions. This isn't a simple matter of disagreeing. I would be willing to bet that every single vehicle company CEO has drastically different takes on these things than I do. They stay out of the way, though.
