My crazy theory is that Musk’s sudden political shift is because the above demographic was getting saturated with Teslas, and he needed to broaden his market. He learned from the blind loyalty Trump gets from his cult of personality, and is looking to duplicate that success.
I have the same theory, but man as much as I love my car, I do hate how every time I tell someone I drive a Tesla I get an eyebrow raise like they’re waiting for me to say something racist or transphobic. I just really like the car and despite test driving every other EV under 60K couldn’t find another one that I liked :(
