Unfortunately the (usually imported) gasoline car is somehow heavily tied into the image of the American dream. While I am no fan of Tesla (mostly because of right to repair), it baffles me that a patriot would choose an imported car that uses Russian gasoline over an American-designed car that uses American-produced energy.
While it is definitively a free market, it isn't in practicality.

Russia accounted for only 3% of total crude imports before the war. Yes, the environmental impact is negative, but lets not pretend the relatively high wages in oil and gas jobs doesn't help American workers.
