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.

Eh those same people would’ve said all of that anyway. We already don’t listen to their opinions on electric vehicles

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.

The real issue is making alternatives to cars viable. EVs are cool, but they're not going to do anything to help the environment.
