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

Sounds about right

Yep. It basically proves that Teslas are a toy for the rich. It will eventually be realized that BEVs are a fad.

This makes a lot of sense. Tesla is a slightly higher-end car, and it's not surprising that it attracts people from the engineering fields.

People who work in engineering/tech would be slightly more inclined to buy cutting-edge products.

Tesla's are Thermomix for tech bros.

I mean Model 3 is also now literally the #1 bestselling car in the entire world

The best deal is to lease the jeep wrangler 4xe plug in, they pass the 7500 onto the buyer and by lease end the battery is weakened so give the car back instead of paying 5k to replace the battery plus by lease end new battery tech will be here

My wife got a Tesla and has a nice figure. As far as I can tell, she doesn't have 6 figures.

This is why BEVs are fundamentally just a fad. It is a toy for rich white men and little else. It is fundamentally too expensive for normal people. They're not even the most important car in the household, and is usually just the second car.

Do you have anything to support this? EVs are increasing share of the market so when do you estimate that will end? Do you also think EVs are a fad in China?

The same demographic as MAGA supporters.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Engineering, software engineering and management generally require intelligence and critical thinking.

MAGA entirely lack that

This seems more about demographics than tech. Just sayin
