Tesla [Elon Musk] Is Alienating The People It Needs Most: Study

https://insideevs.com/news/749741/tesla-ev-buyers-favorability-rating/
Among EV shoppers, Tesla and its CEO have low favorability ratings in a new study. That’s going to make the next couple of years hard.

Tesla’s chief executive has spent the last year alienating the people his company needs most, a new study from the nonprofit EV Politics Project Shows. Among buyers who say they are looking to buy an EV as their next vehicle, Tesla had the worst favorability ratings of any brand surveyed.

Nothing to see here. Tesla isn’t just an EV manufacturer.

Never never never what part of never do you not understand?

The second one in the middle might not be clear. I will say it again, NEVER!

As suggested before, Musk doesn’t care about Tesla anymore. Why would Musk snuggle with an openly, proudly, EV-hostile, regime? Tesla is old hat. Been there, done that. He’s working on something new, exciting, and probably make him a lot richer than he ever could be selling cars.

Tesla EVs is the past. AI, AVs, and Optimus are the future. EVs job now is to provide cashflow to finance the future.

Is that a problem if fewer and fewer car buyers have confidence in Musk?

Not one that bothers me. I just wrote a reply on SA on how do deal with Tesla’s transition from EVs to AI, AVs, and Optimus.

Despite the expectation of the Entitlement Generation that everything happens for their benefit I have a more realistic view, that “Everything” does not give a damn about me, it doesn’t even know I exist. That makes life simpler, “Look Out for Number One.” Remember my comment about the 1956 Hungarian Revolution? No one, save Hungarians themselves, gave a damn about Hungary.

BTW, my cousin who made a new life for himself in California has a piece of the Stalin monument they toppled in Budapest.

BTW2, during the revolution this cousin and his sister (teenagers) disappeared for a few days. “What happened? Where were you?” “Collecting corpses.”

Do you mean looting the US treasury? He’s more than halfway there.

Well now that is what he did in the first place with Tesla. Loot the US Treasury.

What product that he produces would allow him tax incentives?

Oh wait, none. Flop, flop, flop.
