There are signs the billionaire is becoming unpopular with the very demographic group most likely to buy EVs

Yep, a Model Y Long Range would make a lot of sense for us as our next car. But it is absolutely not being considered. Not only do we not want to give the company our business, but I’d be too embarrassed to be seen in one…and this is coming from someone with a missing hubcap on their 20yo econobox.

Bought a mach e instead of a model 3 or y because Elon is a dick. Glad to stick it to the wanker. The mach e is awesome btw 👍

reminder that you shouldn’t buy teslas anyways bc their manufacturing quality is dogshit and they’ll blame you when shit breaks

The next Tesla will be a diesel version of the Cybertruck, for real men who don’t drive sissy electric cars. And it’ll have a “roll coal” button as standard.

I bet he’ll change the company name to something stupid and edgy like he did with twitter

He’s trying to sell EVs to the truck nuts demographic, so, yeah, I’d say things aren’t really going super well…

It certainly made me question whether my next car will be another Tesla, likely it won’t. They definitely deserve credit for making EVs more marketable and practical, but that technological advantage they had over the competition is gone. So at the end of the day it’s just another EV brand but with a tarnished reputation.
