TESLA BACKLASH: BOUGHT BEFORE ELON WENT CRAZY? | AUTO EXPERT JOHN CADOGAN

EV Channels Review

This video critiques Tesla and Elon Musk's recent public image, particularly his perceived shift towards far-right ideologies and controversial statements. The reviewer argues that many Tesla owners who now distance themselves from Musk's behavior likely bought their vehicles well after his "craziness" began, citing 2017 and 2018 as key turning points. The video highlights significant drops in Tesla's sales figures in various markets, including Germany, France, the UK, and Australia, correlating these declines with Musk's controversial public stances and endorsements of far-right political parties. The reviewer dismisses the idea of buying a Tesla before Musk "went crazy," suggesting his erratic behavior has been evident for years, particularly concerning unfulfilled promises like full self-driving and the CyberTruck's specifications. The core message is that Tesla owners who bought after 2017 or 2018 cannot credibly claim to have purchased their vehicles before Musk's controversial persona emerged.
