Two-thirds of Americans now say they wouldn’t drive a Tesla — and most of them cite Elon Musk as the reason why, according to a new poll

The Yahoo News/YouGov survey shows that the tech billionaire’s popularity has plummeted since he launched the Department of Government Efficiency.

Feels like every survey in the last 12 years is 67% of people claim to be not crazy and 33% people are psychotic. Except for voting, apparently.
More and more things point that election was actually stolen.
Like Trump saying Elon knows the vote counting computers better than anyone causing a victory in Pennsylvania. Before his inauguration mind you. Should have immediately caused a recount because now it's probably too late.
Which actually makes this poll much, much worse for Elon. You're right that a lot of that 33% saying "Yeah I'd totally buy a Tesla" are probably the MAGA cult who've downloaded the latest instruction set and are now responding as programmed. Which means a lot of those people live in areas that Tesla has previously underserved (because red voters were actively antagonistic to electric cars and their infrastructure), meaning have no infrastructure there; no dealerships, no charging stations. You can't take a Tesla to a regular mechanic, and charging stations are a real problem when you live in flyover country where everything is 200km from everything, at a minimum. Most of the people who now support Elon because he's "hurting the right people" probably have no ability to actually use his products.
Teslas used to be my dream car years before Elon's musk came out fulll force. Fully electric, sleek, and feature filled.
Obviously, this is no longer the case. Frankly, it makes me kinda sad Tesla is owned by such a piece of trash, their cars (cybertrunk not included) still look beautiful.
I've always thought their cars were quite boring and ugly for the price range.
Like, have you seen what sort of sleek sports cars even 50k can buy you? It's insane to me that anyone finds these attractive from the point of view of the body work.
Well, the difference between a sports car and a Tesla is that the former is not a good daily use vehicle in the city.
If only two thirds of Americans had voted against this lunacy
My good ‘friend’, Ramzan Kadyrov had his cybertruck remotely disabled by Elon Musk. You can't trust the Elongated Muskrat.
Apparently not?
Huh, interesting. That explains why he sent one into the SMO zone anyways.
Judging that he said this: “We’ve sent one to the war, installed a machinegun - it was inefficient at war”
The poor bastards of Akhmat Spec For probably found out that the battery lasts for one mission and then need to be recharged for like 5 days and that is if it didn’t break down en route (it is not even waterproof) and if it gets hit at the frontline, the lithium battery would probably incinerate the poor crewmen.
Those are rookie numbers. I wouldn’t consider a Tesla when I bought a new car in 2022 because of his twitter bullshit.
Who are 1/3. Would like to know.
Tech bros, libertarians, contrarians and people who don’t ’follow politics’.
Probably people wanting to buy a used EV for dirt cheap. Logo swap it or buy some stickers, wham, beater EV.
Probably clueless people because polls can be rigged.
I’d drive one if the price was right. Yall are too into signaling. I hate what’s going on in the us and world but it’s just a car and a fairly eco friendly one at that. Yall seriously wouldn’t drive one if they were free??? What if they paid you? Those and crazier are part of the question if phrased as the title suggests.
I want to know how many in the remaining percent have a snowball's chance in hell of affording one. I'd never buy one, but I never planned to in the first because it's stupid to overpay for "luxury" cars.
Pretty much the reason why we stopped buying everything Olly sells.
No oligarchs in my phone or home anymore. Fuck Olly.
At this point, a shareholder class action lawsuit must be in the works against The MuskRat for recklessly destroying the brand, and the board of directors for not regining him in or removing him.
People value their lives
Can't trust the nazi computer that's trying to crash your car
Or the Nazi who made it
