Anecdotally, I was driving past a large private school in north London this afternoon and encountered a metric butt-ton of teslas. So many fucking Teslas holy shit. Actually completely changed my perception of the typical Tesla buyer, at least in the uk. Looks like it’s more of a Porsche or Range Rover replacement, rather than an Audi or bmw as I’d initially assumed. It’s not really the ‘middle class’ that’s buying them, as far as I can tell. Looks like people in significantly higher income brackets. I think it’s worthwhile to put pressure on this customer base to divest themselves of the brand. I can’t imagine it would present much of a financial burden to do so.

Still waiting for the affordable option.
Stainless manufacture, leasing the battery, selling excess power into a decentralised power grid, Tesla was literally the future before Elon made a play for America.
Couldn't pay me to get into one of those cars now.
I hope someone else runs with the ideas at least.
Please tell me the image is real and not photoshopped. This is the type of integrated “art” pushback we should be engaged in, not standing in a street with signs.
People could do both. Whatever works.
