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

Tesla's are Thermomix for tech bros.

IMHO Tesla is too unreliable. There are enough EVs available that are more reliable (and cheaper).

I always wanted a Tesla. I'm now in a position I could buy one comfortably, but now I have a spine and won't.

Same here. The electric car tech is changing so fast too. Eying the VWs but happy with my volt.

In years past, I toyed with the idea of getting a Tesla, but they were always too pricy for me. As I'm approaching 10 years on my current vehicle and have a 50+ mile one-way commute for the first time in 15 years (one day a week, but still...), I'm wondering if replacement will be sooner or later. I'd like to go EV or at least hybrid, but I know that it won't be a Tesla in any event.

I did have a coworker several years ago who imported a Honda Fit EV from California. He was not exactly happy in the winter when he had to trade heat for distance. I imagine things are better with newer models.

As a white male renter with a household income of $37,000 I don't own a Tesla. So that checks out.
