Survey: Hardly Anyone Wants to Buy Tesla Anymore
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is going down authoritarian paths with the Trump administration and seems to no longer be genuinely interested in his car company Tesla. Our obvious question: "Would you still buy a Tesla?" And the crystal-clear answer from our community was not long in coming. With a record participation of 180 votes, they clearly voted against Musk's pioneering products. "No, under no circumstances. I don't want to support Musk's course with my purchase," 88 percent (159 votes) of the participants rejected the self-destructive course of the once visionary of electric mobility. Parity at the other extremes: "Yes, the vehicles are still the benchmark for electric cars," acknowledged 6 percent. And 6 percent were able to settle on a "Maybe, if the prices keep dropping." This can certainly be taken as a small indicator of the mood in the country regarding Tesla.
And our survey is not faked by bots, as was apparently the case with a nearly identical survey by t-online. In the first week, it attracted 100,000 participants, 94 percent of whom said, in response to the question of whether they would still buy a Tesla: "No, definitely not." Just a week later, however, the result was completely flipped. Out of 467,500 people, suddenly 70 percent wanted to buy a Tesla, with only 29.2 percent no longer interested. An internal t-online investigation showed that 253,000 votes came from IP addresses in the USA.
