Tesla owners are typically white men earning six figures (www.businessinsider.com)

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

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.

Sounds about right

[–] Hypx@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

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

Yeah that’s not even a little surprising

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 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.

The same demographic as MAGA supporters.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (7 children)

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

MAGA entirely lack that

This seems more about demographics than tech. Just sayin
