Many Tesla owners seem to now be concerned that their vehicle may be increasingly viewed as the automotive equivalent of a red MAGA hat, or noting that they themselves are now viewing Teslas that way. Not very difficult to understand why.
Something particularly notable as I read through this thread is the current Tesla owners who say that they really like the car per se, but would not consider getting another, because of what Musk represents to them now (and of course, there's much more EV competition now also so they don't have stop driving EVs). Professors will be talking about this "self-inflicted brand implosion" in business school classrooms for generations.
