So funny that he started this insane rightwing pivot to try and win over conservatives to his over-priced electric cars and he's instead alienated his core market and also conservatives. What a genius.

And yet the fanboys still think he's playing some sort of 4D chess. No, he's just a clinically narcissistic idiot.

This article is commentary on an article from Yahoo finance which stated:

New data from analytics firm CivicScience shows Tesla’s favorability among Democrats has dropped to 16% as of July 16, compared to 39% in January. Among Republicans, the data shows favorability decreased to 23% from 36% in the same time period.

The yahoo article is mostly commentary around that statement and speculation about Trump removing EV and Solar tax credits in the US.

Tesla's favourability with car repair technicians probably never exceeded 5%. :)

It's a maintenance nightmare and a far cry from even slight futureproofness. If someone dumps it on you for 1000 euros with a working battery, take the battery apart and sell the rest for 500 euros. ;P

(sums slightly underestimated) ;)
