All this Twitter drama with the CEO isn't going to be doing Tesla any favors in the liberal crunchy hippy crowd.
I used to always ask people about their Teslas in parking lots around Berkeley, and being Berkeley they were often visibly left-leaning tree-huggers saving the planet with their car of choice. There's no effing way this category of Tesla customers are pleased with current events.
My expectation is the moment they can pivot to Honda/Acura and/or Toyota/Lexus analogs of the Model 3/Y they'll jump ship.
