I own a truck, I use it to go out into the wilderness pretty often; I'm not maga. I know a bunch of people around me who do the same who aren't maga. When you live in the west there's so much to do with so much actual wilderness.
The Ford f150 has been the best/one of the best selling vehicles in America for forever because we fucking love trucks
From left to right on the political spectrum, it doesn’t matter.
It is only an incredibly, incredibly small minority of people in this country that associate driving a truck with being right wing/MAGA, and they’re wrong to do so.
Elon was already cancerous to those paying attention by the time the Cybertruck was even announced. By the time it was released he was trying to overthrow democracy. Not a single Cybertruck owner cares about the environment, and MAGA types tend to like ICE vehicles so whats left is tech bros who are more into Elon than Trump. Which IMO is way slimier than your average MAGA cultist whose just too stupid to know whats going on.
It had a pretty dramatic rise today, but TSLA is lining up well with the rest of the market for today's gains. Everything is down so bad. TSLA is currently sitting at -35% since January which is less than a lot of the stocks I follow. His actions definitely are a driving force. Most of the stocks I follow are only sitting at -10 to -20%. A few are even positive YTD but not by much.
which is why the whole attacking people who drive teslas thing seems so weird to me. Like yeah encourage people to not buy more but mocking people who currently drive them that are very likely on your side politically seems like a terrible idea
The left is notorious for fighting amongst ourselves. The last time we were able to unite and get something done was Obama. And even then, we fell apart in Congress and only just barely managed to pass a heavily compromised ACA.
Meanwhile, all the right-wingers who say they hate Trump eventually fall in line and start kissing his ass.
TBF, very few and far between are buying Cybertrucks on the left side of the aisle. It's a lot less than $80,000 to get you a real truck like a Tacoma.
My grandfather is a MAGA type. Used to drive a truck, but bought a tesla 5+ years ago. I'm not sure which came first, him turning hardcore MAGA or him becoming Elon's number 1 fan.

MAGA types tend to like trucks. I would guess most Tesla owners are not Elon supporters
