If you shoulder past some kids on strike because you want cheap coffee, you are still a class traitor.
The automotive industry in the US is increasingly stretching it's union muscles and Tesla is actively fighting... Basically every union in a different country. If you still buy a Tesla at this point, you at least deserve to get a bit poo pood
Most people are not keeping track of all this. They shop around for cars and find that, Tesla has one of the only competitive long range option in the mid price points.
I imagine that a lot of people that DO know what's going on would rather still buy one and have an electric car than buy another fossil fuel one. It's green Vs ethics... And most of their close competition seem to be the Chinese brands, so musk might actually somehow still have the ethical upper hand too....
Chinese brands will have the upper hand of being cheap as all get out. They will operate at a loss for as long as it takes for them to gain a major foothold in the American auto industry. They are already selling very well in Europe, with the UK having about half as many Chinese electrics being sold as Teslas.
I'm not saying that it's good, isn't that most people don't know/care, they want a new car and know that electric cars are the way things are going.
