Elon is sacrificing his company for the sake of the country.

No but “folks” that work in IT do. They will be fine.

I'm sure some have. I only know a few people with Teslas and they are definitely on the left.

They're starting to. I plan on getting a Cybertruck and a model S for the wife in the next couple of years. Waiting on them to work out more bugs on the CT.

This one absolutely not. I won’t buy a vehicle that gets over 15 mpg.

When it charges in 10 min. And has an honest 350 mile range, I might consider one.

Oh, it also needs to drive itself so I can sleep on long trips.

No. But I have a cammo Polaris Ranger EV that I just converted from lead acid (lasted 3 years) to Lithium Ion with 160aH. Probably 19 mile range if terrain is decent. I haven't vote D in 50 years.

Yes I bought one last year before Elon endorsed Trump. I don’t care about saving the environment, the cars are actually very cool technologically. Also know several conservatives driving them

Yeah plenty do. Environmentalism isn't that high on the reason people buy EVs. It's mostly because they need or want an around town car for for short road trips. They're pretty ideal for a 2 car household.

Also, Tesla is the most American made car you can buy.

Tesla will be fine. "X" will be fine. How many liberal stooges already completely swore off X on favor of switching to BlueSky but are already back. They're like the farting cows on The View promising to leave the US if Trump is elected, twice, and then not following through after Trump was elected, twice.

Think more about SpaceX. The StarLink stuff is literally world-changing.

I wouldn’t own one. I am 100% with Musk on the DOGE. I am looking into the starlink internet though.

I know 3... 1 Cybertruck (quite possibly the stupidest looking vehicle currently in production) and 2 Model S Plaids. None of them would EVER even consider voting for anything that eve remotely resembled a democrat.

I've got a Volvo XC60 Recharge... and it is better in every way (except for acceleration, obviously) than either of the two Tesla's. Better built, more comfortable, more refined. In my opinion, of course. And not tethered to needing a charger.

Some virtue singnalling liberals don't mean shite to Tesla sales.

Tesla can't make any of their vehicles fast enough.

All of their models are superior in comfort and safety.
