Outspoken conservatives hate EVs. Outspoken liberals hate Tesla/Musk. Then there’s 100 million Americans don’t beleive they have power in elections and don’t vote. A significant portion of conservative voters don’t beleive they have anything to vote for besides “lower taxes”. Somewhere in this combination/adjacent group is the group of people who keep buying Tesla and do not give a shit about anything other than flashy tech and/or low fuel costs.
