really? in Cali? I have to be curious about the type of Californian or just normal person in general that'd be all like "sure the head is a nazi but Im getting a good deal bro!“
Just because the state is "blue" doesn't mean there aren't millions of conservatives there. And given that most people aren't politically active and just don't give a shit, actual card-carrying liberals are likely a minority of the total population.
Unfortunately I know at least two... One even voted Trump because she believed in some of the conspiracy theories and is not very well educated. The other just apathetic in general. They both have teslas before and feel like its a good product. Like another comment said, most people don't want to give up their services or products despite the consequences. I live in the bay and it also boggles my mind when I see new Tesla's. Most people driving those are also like Asian or Indian that I've seen....
There is hope. I do also see many bumper stickers about being anti elon.
It seems people lack the strength of conviction they used to have. Now, they’re just subservient consumers.
I mean, you have to be at least decently wealthy to afford a Tesla. I don't think the groups of people buying Teslas are the same groups of people criticizing Musk and Nazis.
I should have included, except for some overlap of course.
