Tesla's Unspoken Demand Problem: Women Don't Want Them (fuelarc.com)

Here’s an interesting wrinkle as Tesla’s sales plummet worldwide, with European market after European market reporting double-digit sales drops, and the all-important Chinese market showing sudden shakiness.

Only 26% of Tesla buyers in the USA are female, according to the latest data, which is way worse than EVs overall, which already skew much more male than car buyers generally.

We run the numbers and take a couple guesses at the cause.

Yeah, I mean - agreed. I thought we all knew all that already.

Surprisingly, several commenters on Reddit thought Teslas were owned by mostly females, just based on them knowing mostly females who drive them. Statistics/sample sizes can be weird that way!
