Not buying a car because of twitter antics is something only the terminally online would do to be honest. Tesla car sales prove exactly that, they are basically doubling their production every year. And this is coming from someone who has 0 interest in buying one and has never bought into the Musk hype. But even the biggest Musk detractors have had a lot of trouble just leaving Twitter for good, so the average joe is completely unconcerned by his antics.
The only reason why I could see Tesla losing its "cachet" is that they are now so common that I almost seem to see more of them (here in Quebec) than Honda Civics. But maybe that's more of a regional thing.

- TheHappyOddish 4y agoI'm extremely confident you are an outlier. Most people buying cars don't know the car company CEOs name, much less their management record.

- redox99 4y agoIt's interesting that there's a lot of people that will not buy a Tesla because of Elon Musk's politics/twitter/whatever, but at the same time they have no problem buying a VW, after Dieselgate (not saying that's your case).
