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

I got a Model S Plaid delivered shortly after release. Previously owned a Model 3. It is my favorite / best car I've had and I've gone through ~20. Including a Chevy Bolt and Volt.

But, my next car will not be a Tesla. In fact, I've gone from thinking I'd keep this long-term to finding an alternative. I'm even semi-embarassed to be seen driving it which sucks.

I also had a Cybertruck reservation (yeah yeah, I know). But when our delivery came due we passed.

Rode in a friend's Ioniq the other day and it was pretty solid. Also sat in my other friend's Rivian R1T and liked it well enough.

If Tesla is wondering why sales are declining they need look no further than their leadership. I'd be willing to consider the cars again if Elon was out - but apparently the board is too stupid to do that.
