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

Tesla's image is definitely tarnished. It may not be meaningfully affecting their bottom line or forecasts yet, but a bad reputation is hard to fix. As competitors start to step up and current owners look to replace their aging Teslas over the next few years, it's going to make a difference. I've got high hopes for Rivian, personally.

I won't buy one because of Musk and I know there are others like me.

I wanted one badly before I started learning more about him. I’m not longer interested.
