I'm surprised they're still selling anything at all in California.

Few people who don’t make money off publicity will buy objectively worse options just for political ideology. Most of the slowdown is the Model Y switchover and ramp. Over 50% of my neighbors in Canada have at least 1 Tesla and most dislike Musk. Had to borrow one of their chargers the other day and they were complaining about vandals and saying no one buys products based on who the CEO is. And Canada makes CA look conservative.
