I am probably stereotyping here.. but the kind of people who get attracted to the right wing conspiracy theories tends to be more rural, non-college educated middle aged white men (and women) who also are likely to come from more rural parts of the country. I do not think the audience for Tesla is there. You need density to build charging infra. You need most of your trips to be short-distance away and your use mostly commuting. While they might feel happy about elon and kanye sticking it to the other side, they are not in market for an EV.

You are stereotyping. The Jan 6 insurrection was perpetrated in large part by doctors, lawyers, state legislators, United States congresspeople, business executives, etc. The head of the oath keepers, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, is a Yale educated lawyer. It wasn’t the uneducated who were sending fake Certificates of the Vote to the VP. They were practicing lawyers and elected representatives of the government. The wife of a SCOTUS Justice is one of the biggest proponents of right wing conspiracy theories. It doesn’t get more elite than that.
