Summary
Elon Musk’s vocal support for Donald Trump and promotion of far-right conspiracy theories has alienated many Tesla owners, who now express embarrassment over their cars.
Sales of anti-Musk stickers, such as “Anti Elon Tesla Club,” have surged as owners distance themselves from Musk’s politics.
Once admired by liberals for his environmental advocacy, Musk’s alignment with Trump and leadership in his administration have sparked backlash.
While Tesla remains the dominant EV maker, analysts warn Musk’s polarizing image may impact sales as competition grows and Trump plans to cut EV tax incentives.
No, the EU also has emissions standards that are more stringent for smaller cars.
And those regulations also make larger vehicles follow stricter standards which makes the smaller cars still more competitive than US markets.
OK, so if various features make Europeans not want trucks as much as Americans do, then auto propaganda is not what determines what people want.
