Why would ones agreeing with Musk turn away from what Tesla represents?

@zoesqwilliams.bsky.social in your Guardian article on EVs it says "Tesla’s market share in Europe dropped precipitously in the EU in November, from 2.1% to 1.4% of new cars sold, which is likely to be consumers turning away from what Tesla represents, even the ones that agree with Musk."

Screenshot of a quote by Green Party leader Zack Polanski from the Guardian live blog: This is exactly why we need a cap on political donations. Democracy should never be for sale. Every party should compete on ideas, not on the size of their donor spreadsheet. While Reform pockets eye-watering cheques, Greens are building a movement powered and funded by people through thousands of new members. When we win elections, it will be because of the tens of thousands of people volunteered, not the people who donated tens of thousands. If we want a politics that serves the public, not billionaire backers, then capping donations is essential. Let’s end the influence of big money and put democracy back where it belongs: in the hands of voters.

Little bit of scaremongering mixed with important consumer journalism here. A lot of Teslas are not equipped with FSD and a lot of drivers wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
FSD shouldn't be a thing. The Guardian crossed a bit into tabloid territory with its generalisations.

On today’s Scrimba Townhall we will be chatting to Sarah Rainsberger @sarah11918.rainsberger.ca from @astro.build 👩‍🚀

(And btw, Sarah is a Scrimba graduate! 👩‍🎓)

It's gonna be fascinating stuff and you can ask questions and join in!
