Strange. Where are you all located? I'm in a conservative state, and I don't hear any anymosity against Tesla vehicles. The only gripes I get from all the conservatives I know about Tesla vehicles is that they cost too much for them.
FWIW and anecdotally, I'm in Canada and while I'm seeing a tremendous explosion of Tesla vehicles on the road, at least 80% of the people I speak to seem to think Elon is the devil incarnate.
(I 100% agree that he should be criticized for a lot of things, but nuance is not trending apparently.)
