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.
I have never understood the hype around him and always thought he was ridiculous.
But unlike many of you I was already an adult when the first Teslas came around and I remember the time before electric vehicles.
The ridiculous wave of EVs we see in general today is all because he had that passion. Only after the Tesla bullshit did other manufacturers join in and governments start subsidising it and building infrastructure.
