Tesla’s newest boneheaded transfer: Sending me a consumer survey

Tesla’s newest boneheaded transfer: Sending me a consumer survey
SHARE

As a die-hard sustainability nerd whose home is carbon-negative, I purchased a Tesla in 2016 when it was the one actual electrical automobile choice with a nationwide charging community, and Elon Musk was (or no less than gave the impression to be) a progressive-minded innovator and never the fascist creep he’s at this time. 

In contrast to many different Tesla homeowners, I’m not eliminating it. It wouldn’t be financially or environmentally liable for me to purchase a brand new automobile earlier than I run this one into the bottom. It solely has 70,000 miles on it, most of them tallied whereas schlepping children to their actions, and I’m just about accomplished with that. (My 21-year-old is lengthy gone, and my 18-year-old will graduate highschool in June). 

In different phrases, I could have this automobile for an additional 10 years. 

That doesn’t imply Tesla isn’t attempting to get me to improve. With its new purchaser pool shrinking as a consequence of growing backlash in opposition to CEO Elon Musk’s efforts to destroy the federal government on Donald Trump’s behalf, the electrical automobile firm goes again to its previous prospects in hopes of goosing gross sales amongst an present fan base. 

“This is the first month of the quarter and they’re already upping incentives? I got two texts and a call from a sales agent already last week,” one Reddit consumer posted. “One wonders if things aren’t looking quite so rosy at the moment…” 

I bought equally hit up. Right here’s one of many texts—and my response:

Zero-percent financing on this inflationary atmosphere, when the common rate of interest for a brand new automobile mortgage hovers at round 7%, based on Edmunds, is an enormous low cost. If I used to be available in the market for a brand new automobile, I’d even be tempted … however not by this firm. 

The issue for Tesla is that its present buyer base is disproportionately made up of California liberals and their counterparts in different progressive U.S. pockets—they usually’re now not followers. 

Actually, Tesla’s recognition is at a nine-year low, based on YouGov knowledge, and has cratered amongst liberals—the very those that purchase the majority of electrical automobiles. 

And Tesla needs to fake they don’t know why. 

After asking whether or not I deliberate to purchase one other Tesla and receiving my “no” reply, the survey requested about my “primary reason for not purchasing a Tesla.” It supplied 13 choices, and … not a single one was “Elon Musk.” 

I went with the choice that almost all carefully will get at the true cause Tesla’s gross sales numbers are falling—“The Tesla brand.” When requested for more information, I wrote: “Elon Musk. Funny how you don’t include him in your options, given how clearly he’s a major reason Tesla’s sales have hit rock bottom.” (I didn’t even point out how the corporate’s inventory has tanked, regardless of Trump turning the White Home garden right into a automobile dealership for his buddy Elon on March 11.)

Cartoon by Clay Bennett

A latest ballot discovered that simply 15% of conservatives had been “seriously interested” in shopping for an EV, and 44% stated they might “probably never” purchase one. Amongst liberals, 27% had been severely , and simply 21% stated they might by no means purchase one. Add in challenges resembling the shortage of charging infrastructure in Republican-heavy rural areas, and it’s merely unattainable for Tesla to beat the lack of its progressive buyer base. 

“Alexander Edwards, the head of Strategic Vision, a company that surveys new vehicle buyers, has been asking Tesla buyers about their political affiliations for the last decade,” reported NPR. “Last year, for the first time the data showed that the average Tesla buyer was more likely to be a Republican than a Democrat. But that wasn’t because Republican purchases were surging; it was because Democrats were fleeing the brand.”

Tesla needs to play dumb. That survey they despatched out isn’t going to inform them something totally different, regardless of how a lot they attempt to fake Musk isn’t the rationale for the corporate’s ongoing demise. 

The one query is whether or not Tesla’s senior administration will ever present Musk and the Tesla board the outcomes.
