      It’s probably both but yeah the Chinese makes have made a huge dent. More importantly they’ve brought EVs to more families.

        It’s not both. If people bought cars based on political opinions of the companies owners then Tesla sales would be increasing over that timeframe here.

        Maybe but I’ve not heard of a single person say they won’t buy a Tesla because of Musk’s antics. There may be a few but I’m going with minuscule, not a cliff dive.

        Lot of nazi adjacent folks here in Australia, look at the rise and rise of ONP for example.

          Attributing the rise of one nation to “Nazis” is even dumber than the conclusion that musks political opinion causes people to not buy teslas.

            That is not what they said.

            Well, I mean Pauline Hansons “there’s not a single good Muslim” comment… you know… isn’t that much of a stretch

            Edit: mind you these comments were made on public broadcaster, concerns me what conversations are had behind closed doors.

                Honestly, bible quotes are meaningless. None of the many Australian Muslims I know have tried to slay, make war with or even ostracise me. And similarly I haven’t found any Australian Christians following all the junk in their bible either. Those still following these Abrahamic religions are following versions which have evolved over a thousand years - and pointing to a few extremist crazies interpreting it differently can be done with most groups - three extremist Christians were involved in a terrorist shooting in QLD in 2022, and the Christchurch shootings in 2019 were performed by an Australian Christian Nationalist. But it would be ridiculous to point to those and claim Christian Terrorism should make us hate all our Christian friends.

                  The point is that Islam is a religion built from the ground up on hate, violence, and intolerance. It begs the question of what sort of person would subscribe to that religion?

                  If you’re going to use terrorist attaches to make a point, you might want to do a bit more research - namely around what religion commits the most.
