www.abc.net.au Tesla sales slump off the back of Elon Musk's alienating political views

Tesla sales have declined globally, including a 30 per cent drop in Australia this January. Experts say it's partly due to Elon Musk's political views and high-profile actions deterring buyers.

The research tracks EV sentiments across 2,000 drivers across Australia and 34 per cent were now "less willing to buy or lease a Tesla" because of Musk's behaviour.
But 15 per cent said their opinion of Mr Musk made them more willing.
ahh so thats the percent of ev consumers that are blatantly racist. got it.
- That's a weird mixture of hate and environmental concern. They love the planet but hate other races, i guess?!? Want the planet all to themselves but not all smoggy and dying?
  
  It's not about loving the planet. A lot bought Tesla for status. There are so many other EVs but that's not status.
- When you're so hateful that it influences what you buy. Man....

guess there really is such a thing as bad publicity
