Who could have guessed the people who would be interested in EVs are the type of people who don't want to buy a car that's associated with far-right ideology? And far-right people think EVs are for weak libs and "rugged individuals" drive oversized trucks.

Maybe Elon's gift to the world is making EVs acceptable to the far-right? 🤷
