If you are not threatened by an ideology of death, then you are a proponent. Even the suggestion of nazism or communism or feudalism should result in scorn and massive repercussions.
I'd really love to meet some of these people IRL to see how their brain ticks.
On the internet I see so many people that make politics their whole life. In the real world I live in a pretty left leaning areas with many Teslas and no one I know is interested in getting rid of theirs.
Frankly politics isn't even a consideration for me when I buy a product. I guess that makes me a bad person by internet standards, but I really only care about getting a good product.

The most popular car colours are white, grey and black [1]. People don’t generally want opinionated cars. Driving a Tesla is now politically opinionated.

If everyone drives a Tesla it’s not opinionated. I live in a small blue town in a deep red state. Folks are dumping their Teslas.
Nationally, Teslas have depreciated 10% over the last year, Cybertrucks 60% [2].
Pure FAFO. Love it. Hating Musk before it was cool has its upsides but I really can’t help thinking about how absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Tesla is over valued anyway. People need to dump that stock before it commits suicide in a bunker.
I wouldn’t put it past Musk to find a way to put Teslas in every government agency. (Also, don’t day trade!)
Initial attempt was unsuccessful…
