I'm in the exact same boat as you. I even vaguely defended it when it was name dropped in Star Trek: Discovery back in 2017. Now I can't stand the Elongated Muskrat or anything it touches. I think the rantings do cause buyer hesitation, but I think the bigger problem is that the Muskrat is no longer really delivering anything. The Cybertruck is nowhere to be seen while the F-150 Lightning is already out and getting rave reviews. FSD has been perpetually <12 months out for half a decade. Traditional automakers are starting to put out cheaper BEVs with better fit and finish than the Model 3. This is a classic case of over-promising and under-delivering, a strategy that only works for so long before investors catch on.
