My wife took a TESLA on a test drive a few years ago, and did not like it. Friends of mine have refused to consider a TESLA thanks to Elon Musk, and they have been proven right as his politics have become more and more extreme.
The demographic of people who drive EV's are not really the parties that he has backed. Admittedly, Musk has turned on Nigel Farage, but Farage has not been in favour of taking action against Climate Change. But, the AfD in Germany are also Climate Change deniers.
I do think that the world owes TESLA thanks for showing how electric cars can be so appealing. But it does not owe anything else. I wait to see if Musk will get Trump to try to make the EU buy more TESLA's but if he does, I can see that alienating people who wish to switch to electric cars. At least in Europe. His antics may not be an issue in other parts of the world.
