Add me to the list. There are enough great choices with more becoming available each month that there’s no reason to paint his fence. The minute I can take possession of an R2 and sell my model Y I’m done with Tesla forever. It’s also a real shame because it’s the best car I’ve ever owned - but that in no way outweighs my desire to not be a rolling advertisement for Elon.

What I find funny is that Teslas high profile investors repeatedly and completely dismiss this effect as being insignificant, but anecdotally I do think it’s a large portion of Tesla’s owners.

It’s also not like he has traded one customer base for another. The conservatives he’s trying to cozy up to seem just as anti-EV as ever.
