Can Trump and Kasturi celebrate more conservatives to buy tesusus?

After climbing a Tesla model last week, President Trump promised to buy one. The next day, Fox News Host Scene Hannie said that he bought a model S Plade, a Tesla to support a Tesla “is in more American parts in more American parts than any other car made in our country.”

In the backlash, against the strategy of Elon Musk’s Government Efficiency Department, the Electric car led by the leading Orthodox Shri Musk is rally on the edge of the company. They are hoping to swing consumers with enough ideology to boycott the electric automakers by liberalists and Democrats or to prefer anyone angry with Sri Musk.

But how effective can such a rescue mission be? Analysts say it can help but only to an extent.

Auto experts stated that many Democratic buyers seem fleeing from Tesla that Mr. Trump’s best sales pitch is unlikely to woo new customers enough to fill the vacuum. JP Morgan analysts predicted that Tesla would distribute its lowest cars in the first quarter in three years.

“When you make your product unattractive for half the market, I will not promise you, you will not increase your sales,” said Alexander Edwards, president of the strategic vision of a motor vehicle research and counseling firm.

Mr. Edwards have been surveying car buyers for decades. Since 2016, surveys have found that the electric-car owners were likely to identify as a democrats or liberals to identify the owners as a republican or conservative. Among the owners of Tesla, the spread was two to two consecutive.

This difference became rapidly compressed through 2024. This year, as sales have fallen, a little more Tesla buyers identify buyers as Republicans, at 30 percent versus 29 percent.

“The Democrats are running away from the brand and are saying that they will not consider it in the future, so naturally there is more proportion to Republican and independent buyers,” said Mr. Edwards.

He said that Democrats first began losing interest in Tesla when Mr. Musk in 2022 Twitter, now X, now X, last July, when Mr. Musk publicly supported Mr. Trump, part of Democrats said that he would “consider” a Tesla “.

Overall, according to surveys by Mr. Edwards, about 8 percent of the car owners will now certainly consider a Tesla. It compares with 22 percent five years ago when Tesla is often at the top of the ranking of luxury brands that will consider buyers.

Tesla’s slipping sales, he said, “Most, if not completely, is responsible for Elon Musk’s statements and behavior.”

The automaker did not respond to the remarks request.

According to the Kelly Blue Book, Tesla lives with about 634,000 cars, despite a 5.6 percent decline in US sales, with about 44 percent of the market, with the US’s best -selling electric vehicle brand. Many drivers are firm to live with electric vehicles pioneers, whose cars can travel several hundred miles at a charge and easily fill fuel on the company’s broad charging networks.

44-year-old Josh Anders traded a gasoline-powered sports utility vehicle for a Tesla Model 3 in 2019. Residents of Fort Wayne, Industries, they were blown away by car energy efficiency, technology and limited maintenance needs. He traded for another soon, and the latest model is to take delivery of Y SUV.

“To be the owner of a Tesla was one of the best decisions I made by me, and I am sticking through it,” Mr. Anders said. “I would like a rivian R1, but I can’t tolerate it. I am a technical man, and I like all the features and innovation.”

Four more creative directors of a Christian non -profit music and art organization, Mr. Anders, said that he bends conservatives, and is uncomfortable with a boycott.

“Elon is not right, and Tesla is not right, but it is a community of dreamers and doers. I appreciate a brand that is constantly pushing the boundaries,” he said. “I don’t need every company to share my beliefs. I just need to share a commitment for progress.”

Nevertheless, cars have a long history of becoming part of the political field.

General Motors were derived by some conservatives as “Obamackers”, a plug-in hybrid shaverlet introduced in 2011 after receiving the assistance of the federal government. Gas-gazelling Hummer from fuel-picking Toyota Prius and GM was often appreciated and attacked by people at the opposite end of political spectrum.

Isaac Celligger, Scotsdale, a business owner and grant writer in the Aries, said that he was very little interested in electric vehicles, even though his son, who recently died, was a dedicated fan of Tesla.

Now, Mr. Seliger said, who described himself as politically independent, is firm to buy a Tesla, as he wants to defy group and polarization. A friend told him that if he did so, he would stop talking to him.

“As a pre -left and anti -man man, it all wants to buy a Tesla,” said 73 -year -old Mr. Cellinger. “I am giving a political statement absolutely. But if I bought a Porsche Macon, it is also a statement where people pigeons you as an unpleasant old Porsche driver. ,

Mr. Seliger said that he received criticism from Mr. Musk Overbl over.

“So Elon was the hero of the Left, and now he is a Nazi? It’s just crazy,” he said. “He kills me as a smart man who makes great accessories.”

For many people who believe in Tesla and Mr. Musk, the company’s sales and stock price, which is about 48 percent below December, will eventually recover. The stock was up 12 percent in the last four days of business.

But some motor vehicle experts say Tesla may struggle because the company has not updated its cars regularly or has introduced new models. In addition, the company’s chargers, once only used by Teslas, are opening access to almost every major contestant, Lauren McDonald’s said, Lauren McDonald’s chief analyst said Lauren McDonald’s chief analyst, Paran. And other vehicle manufacturers are offering new electric models, often with especially cheap monthly payments.

“He rapidly losing benefits in border, technology, price and convenience that took people to Tesla,” said Mr. McDonald’s. “For many people, it’s time to move forward and try something new.”

Of course, most buyers do not choose cars based on politics. But the image of a brand matters. Tesla’s sales also slipped, even the total US electric vehicle sales increased by 7.3 percent to 1.3 million in 2024. Mr. Edwards said that Mr. Musk was making it very easy for people to shop elsewhere.

“People can love their Hyundai, GM, Rivian or BMW as much as,” he said.

Republicans definitely buy electric cars, but less of them have completely taken a dip for the electric model. Rural states, where Republican Democrats defeat, have less charger than more urban states. Strategic vision data suggests that Republicans are more likely to work outside the house, and are less inclined to work with inconveniences such as charging stops. And one 2024 Pew Research Center Survey It was found that more Republicans say that the cost of electric vehicles is much higher and less reliable than gasoline cars.

According to S&P Global Mobility, in the New York Metropolitan sector, the country’s largest car market, the new Tesla registration fell 13 percent to 47,000 cars in 2024. The same year, more than 101,000 people recorded a Tesla in Los Angeles, the second largest market, 8 percent decline. Nevertheless, about one of the eight new cars in Los Angeles was Tesla. In the San Francisco Gulf region, where Tesla was established, about one of the five new cars was Tesla. But the sales rose from 17 percent to 54,000 cars.

Consumers in the Houston region bought 12,000 testers. But the residents of the Bay Area bought 4.5 times several Teslas in a small market for new cars. Some areas saw a major growth, which included Miami-Fort Lauderdale, where sales increased by 32 percent to about 23,000 cars in 2024. Tesla’s sales also increased rapidly in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and St. Louis. But the company’s advantage at these places could not offset the decline of stator in large, more generous metro sectors.

Experts say that rich conservatives like Mr. Hannity and Mr. Trump have a disposable income to make a personal motor vehicle statement by selecting for a Tesla. But they may not be able to celebrate more modest means to Americans.

Mr. McDonald’s also said that Mr. Trump and other conservatives provoked electric cars for years, mocked climate change and former President Joseph R. Biden Junior criticized the climate and auto policies.

“Messaging is inconsistent,” said Mr. McDonald’s. “Is there a boy in Arkansas who now runs a Ram pickup to buy Tesla?” How far can you go against your own beliefs to support Elon Musk? ,
