I don't think people are trying to change minds anymore. I don't think people even believe it is possible to change minds. I think it's to make people afraid to make future rentals or purchases or associations unless they are a strong party affiliate.

It had me start looking into stocks of BYD and other competitors wondering where investors might flow to if the cultural sentiment keeps escalating to a full on alt right brand.

I don’t think people are trying to change minds anymore.

Yeah, I can see that. Both in online forums as well as with any kind of brand discussion, EV or otherwise. Everyone’s mind is made up already.

But using fear to force your political views has another word: Terrorism. I can’t believe that to be the right path forward either, and I don’t think that’ll stop alt-rights or Tesla devotees. It’ll just widen the divide even more.

I would love for Lucid and Polestar to put out more affordable models. Ford, Toyota and Chevrolet have been taking real half-measures in the EV space, and have been donating a LOT of money to the GOP in recent years so I don’t want to give them my business either. It’s hard finding a lesser evil when most of the competition is involved closely with the fossil fuel industry.

My sister has a Nissan Leaf and loves it, but those are really showing their age now.
