I'm not trying to blame this on "Elon" but that guy basically kicked off the revolution and is kind of destroying it. His cult following, toxic views and enthusiasm for conspiracies are starting to make EV ownership something for "weirdos" at a time when owning an EV was already contentious. At least in the US.

There was a time when I dreamed of owning a Tesla, there is absolutely no way I'd drive one now.

I think China is going to steam ahead towards Solar, Nuclear and EVs, so maybe there is hope there!
