The Tesla Model 3 dropped from first place to third, behind the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic, among all passenger cars sold.

They're not "getting revenge" for him leaving California, they've stopped buying cars of dubious quality from an immature, arrogant, and very literal white nationalist.

Yes, to me Tesla switched from the most desirable car to the least desirable one, exactly because he turned out to be a cunt.

Also in California I see more interest in other electric cars. There are tons of Teslas, but pretty much all new EVs (with temporary license plates) seem to be different brands.

My current ICE may be due for replacement after over a decade of use.

I want an EV with NACS that isn't a Tesla. And so I wait. I don't need anything complicated, but I don't want to own a car with the "wrong" kind of port.

Edit: Or they could layoff the entire Super Charger team at a time the build out is most necessary and leave things super uncertain.

To car manufacturers: don't trust Musk. I don't have strong feelings about which connector "wins," I just don't want to be using the one no one else does. And that depresses the value of the car.

You have exactly summed up my views. I currently have a 2020 MY and it convinced me that I probably won't buy another ICE vehicle. With all the crap coming out of Tesla and Musk lately, I also can't imagine getting another Tesla.

I'm just waiting for NACS to be built in and hoping today's layoff news doesn't ruin that as well...
