    Yeah, every time a stock is down a 100 “analysts” come pouring out of the woodworks and gives a 100 different reasons for why. I find it more likely that the reason Tesla is doing worse is that the EV market is just way more competitive than before (but I don’t know, that is my point). Like you say, Elon has been saying polarizing shit the entire time. I don’t think common consumers care about that. Something else must have changed.

      I don’t think the common consumers care about that

      I bet most don’t even know! The average American is probably only dimly aware of the Elon Discourse, if they’re aware at all

      My parents and Aunt and Uncle aren’t super online. I bet they don’t know anything about what he posts on Twitter

      I’ve also strongly considered not Tesla cars because of Elon’s antics but this article just confirms my biases which is why I have to look harder at it
