    Maybe they’re just sick of answering “you support Elon Musk” questions. These are luxuryish cars[1] to begin with, these sort of people can probably afford to change cars based on “I don’t like the CEO.” Musk always acted like the “Steve Jobs” of the automotive world and sold Tesla as an Apple-like high-end brand. The risk you take is that if you’re an asshole instead of a black turtleneck-wearing hipster then your customers will turn on you.

    [1] yes yes, I know about the model 3.
