I’d be careful to conflate name recognition with an intimate understanding of enough that the person he is or is not would change a buyers perception when it comes to Tesla at a global level.

The EV slowdown is currently well documented. Musk’s hard right proclivities were only named as possibly a reason today in Auto…

Show me either of those products that start at 40k.

They are similar in the way people argue about them on Reddit, not in purchasing activity.

I would not buy one of his vehicles because of the person he is. But that wasn’t the point I was making?

It is important to separate those who live an active online experience with the fact that a larger percentage of car buyers in the US, Europe, South America, the Middle East, and China are not connected to what is happening at Tesla or with Elon Musk in even the smallest amount. Tesla’s slowdown is at a global level…

You seriously overestimate the average car buyer (in the US and elsewhere). 

And I do not work for Stellantis.

“The most likely explanation for the drop in interest appears to be Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s personal behavior.”

“high-speed rail service”

I have found that many of the sites I used to visit have lost their interest without reading the responses. For instance the Root would have been on fire today with the Diddy lawsuit but when you get to the bottom of the article there is no catharsis.

I think removing the nature of the public forum from online news,…

Ted Cruz is a tool but also...how much longer do we think we are going to have comments here on Jalop?

Just us and Gizmodo now...?

I know this increases engagement but it is seriously awful.

Ohio driver as well - when I got my license at 16 (20 years ago or so) the “ed” part of drivers ed was not what I’d call comprehensive. An app probably would be an improvement over people sleeping through the class.

Pray for a stroke, but work to get out the vote like he could win.

“boys”
“grownups”

Figure it out RPM...

Also, just in general, I hate this timeline.

“infrastructure”

Do you mean chargers? Most EV owners charge at home; 2/3 of all single family homes have garages in the US and the majority of car ownership in the US is attributed to single family homes, so expansion there is really about 1) the equivalent of an extra appliance like a refrigerator or dryer drawing on…

People are dying in the streets. Children are going hungry. There are mental and physical health crises, crumbling infrastructure, and we have the highest incarceration rates and firearm ownership of any modern nation. We are the wealthiest nation in the history of mankind and yet money is being hoovered up through…
