Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

    I for one am shocked.

    The only Tesla owner I know is a Musk-loving, ancap, STEM-bro who probably makes around $160k.

    As an engineer, I often find being surrounded by engineers to be exhausting lol

      Most of the Tesla owners I know are Chinese. The early adopters were Caucasian, but now that they’re mainstream, they’re being bought by pretty much everyone.

      Yes. Teslas are pure fads. And the BEV is just a big greenwashing scam. It just replaces one unsustainable idea with another.

      Engineers are easily swayed by hype and propaganda just like everyone else.
