Tesla was once regarded as a choice for the eco-conscious, tech-savvy affluent. However, the company's image is rapidly changing, especially owing to CEO Elon Musk's provocative political actions. As Musk’s alignment with conservative politics emerges, Tesla faces backlash including protests and vandalism. While some Republicans rally behind Musk, supporting Tesla to boost its sales, surveys suggest that the liberal and moderate consumer base, who are essential for electric vehicle sales, is now alienated. This shift may not result in a net gain for Tesla sales despite newfound Republican fans.
Tesla's brand, once synonymous with innovation and sustainability, is now increasingly perceived as an emblem of Elon Musk's controversial political shifts, particularly his alignment with right-wing ideologies.
Despite Republican support growing for Tesla amid Musk's political actions, the company risks alienating its main consumer base of liberals and moderates who are more likely to adopt electric vehicles.
