I was wondering about the political affiliation of Tesla owners.. I understand that as a whole, it will likely be dominated by Democrats as most Teslas are sold in California which is a deep blue state. So, I want to poll Tesla owners based on where they live to get a better idea. Here in Florida, it seems to be fairly balanced between ideologies while I'd think that in other places, it isn't even close. This is just for actual Tesla owners in the USA, not lurkers.
Red State = Went for Trump in 2020
Blue State = Went for Biden in 2020
I'm just posting this out of curiosity.. Checked the box not to reveal who voted for what choice..

Why not do this as a real poll like:
- Sensible Party
- Silly Party
- Very Silly Party
Great!!
If, thanks to Manchin (DINO), the Clean Energy Bill is dead, then let's tax their dirty asses.

Money can be used for poor coal miners and for EV tax credits.
Arrest these scum.

I’m so excited to I can’t wait to get mine so I can release my inner Nascar Driver. Let’s Go Brandon moneys on you to win.
LET’S GO BRANDON! Tesla was also not invited to some other green car thing at the White House earlier this year. Ford and Gov. Motors was… shocking!

It is really simple, like it or not, Americans of all political stripes are concerned about climate change and want government action.
The major disconnect is between Republican voters wanting climate action and Republican politicians (although that is changing)
For context, The American Climate Contract is a conservative group trying to stop climate change.
The irony is, it is not even a case of if you believe climate change is real, the economic benefits of moving to renewable energy sources will be a long term economic boom greater than the losses in the fossil fuel industry (here is collection of stats and articles). There are a few sites tracking renewable growth.
The history of the world is full of examples of new energy transitions being massive benefits for countries that end up being named epoch events. Look at the Industrial Revolution, the Oil Boom, so we are at the very start of the Renewable Boom.
The biggest irony is Texas has all the opportunity to be the #1 provide of renewable energy (it is 5x bigger wind energy than California and rapidly growing).
Even more, most of the Red states are building renewables faster than all the Blue states combined. Not due to Climate concerns, but from simple profit motivates reasons.
Republican's are politically killing themselves by not seizing on what is actually working for them, and benefit from parallels results of attracting pro-renewables Democrats.
Why do they insist to stay on the Titanic, when there is an empty lifeboat waiting for them?
Put another way, even when a Red state can easily meet, or even already exceeded, its carbon emission goals, they reject the policy. That is like quitting a game when one has already won.

I think that this may be a little jab at Biden for his embrace of the Lightning. I don’t think they’ll deliver there first. Not with the truck market in this country.

lol Biden bucks...I think he's got enough problems on his plate....
Based on the Billionaire tax being proposed now they are essentially pushing a tax that takes money from Musk uses it to pay Tesla buyers.
Maybe if Tesla agrees to just sell the cars cheaper we can cut out the government from this process entirely.
