There are signs the billionaire is becoming unpopular with the very demographic group most likely to buy EVs

I mean my wife and I are a perfect example. After moving into our home I had every intention of getting a Tesla for us both and putting in a home charger. I will say we LOVE our Hyundai Ioniq 6 and will be waiting to see what they release next. Tough shit Elon.

Careful now! He might sue you if he finds out you didn't buy his car.

Same but EV Blazer. Tesla never entered the decision making process.

I'm a less perfect example. Wanted to buy an EV but Teslas were probably too expensive for me to even consider. I don't know for sure because I literally never even looked at the Tesla options. I love my Chevy Bolt EUV that I plug into a normal 120 V exterior outlet. Fuck off, Elon.
