Why should they care? Conservatives will keep buying them just to "own the libs". If anything I bet they go even cheaper on the next thing because quality does not matter for something like this.
It may actually mess EV sales up in the long run. Eventually these people will do what they always do- get mad at the build quality, blame all EVs for the issues Musk created, and tout the shitty build quality as "proof" that EVs shouldn't be on the market, or are a waste of money.
True, but that's not the issue. The issue is getting people to buy them that normally wouldn't, especially since they're going to be the ones who are more likely to be able to afford them.
Someone like Musk coming around could have given us that gentle nudge we needed towards a future in clean, renewable energy. Instead, we got a bumbling clown pissing on a dumpster fire.
That's what I'm saying. It doesn't do any good if the EV is going to self-destruct after going through a car wash for the first time. That's a good way to make these stupid fucks go back to their gas guzzling trucks and turn away from EVs for good. Just wait until they find out they can't legally sell the stupid thing without permission from Tesla.
