From #NYTimes:
#Tesla's slump in sales appears to be at least partly the result of the right-wing politics of Mr. Musk. Tesla’s early customers and fans included many environmentalists and left-leaning consumers, many of them residents of California. Registrations of new Teslas in the state fell 24 percent in the second quarter, according to data published last week by the California New Car Dealers Association.
@WordsmithFL The thought of a crazed right-wing megalomaniac being able to remotely shut down my car’s operating system if I posted something critical of him on social media ruled out a Tesla for me. I got this amazing #EV from Volvo whose year over year sales are increasing significantly. #EVsRock
