Here’s an interesting wrinkle as Tesla’s sales plummet worldwide, with European market after European market reporting double-digit sales drops, and the all-important Chinese market showing sudden shakiness.
Only 26% of Tesla buyers in the USA are female, according to the latest data, which is way worse than EVs overall, which already skew much more male than car buyers generally.
We run the numbers and take a couple guesses at the cause.

Elon’s a douche
-
Elon’s especially creepy to women
-
EVs in general are still too expensive
Also, women know a shit “truck” when they see one
Everybody knows a shit truck when they see one, and that thing is an absolute fucking garbage “truck” XD
Also all those things, correct, I’d just invert the order in terms of what is causing the sales dip.

Neither do non-nazi men
Neither do most nazi men, apparently. Sales are in the shitter, even for the far right. They talk about it, but hardly any of them are actually cutting the check for a shiny new ultra-light-duty luxury pickup truck.

Why
Mouse summarizes it cleaner than I do. Just read their comment if you don’t got time to read a long and rambling stats analysis:

Yeah, I mean - agreed. I thought we all knew all that already.
Surprisingly, several commenters on Reddit thought Teslas were owned by mostly females, just based on them knowing mostly females who drive them. Statistics/sample sizes can be weird that way!
