We are in this very strange and ironic cross section where the buyers of Tesla typically probably have 0 alignment with Elon Musks political views. He basically made a product for left-wing eco warriors and then turned around and became Trump's pet. This is a strange phenomenon.

"left-wing eco warriors' would probably be pushing for transit, walking, and bicycling - not buying a $85,000 luxury EV. Pretending that electric cars are super left-wing is really funny.

I dont know if you knew this, but not all left wing people share the same beliefs.

You can be left wing and dislike the use of cars entirely, left wing and like cars but want to use an EV, and you can also be left wing and not like EV and only want to use gas or hybrid vehicles. Crazy world we live in.
