President Donald Trump, the same man who once said that the people who promote electric cars should “have to” must “”Mold“Bought his EV this week.
It was like a sales stadium for Musk, the country’s largest seller in EVS. I lost Tesla More than half of its value Since December as sales It decreased all over the world. With the dismantling of musk on parts of the federal government as head of the new government competence Ministry, nicknamed Dog, vehicles have become a poisonous symbol of Democrats, a large part of Tesla owners. During the past week, the demonstrators have Tesla traders sabotageand AFLAME Electronic Plugs setAnd the brand boycott. Tesla Liberal’s drivers Plapping stickers on their cars I read this, “I bought this before Illon became crazy.”
The strong feelings surrounding the musk have already began to stampede the policy on EVS. The Trump exhibition at the White House was on Tuesday in defense of Musk, who said it was unfairly punished for “finding all kinds of terrible things that occurred against our country.” However, the strange scene of Trump shows a vehicle that works on electricity instead of gas, felt almost graphics from Saturday Night Live, and not only because the Trump administration was Try to reverse the rules of the era of Biden It would spoil the adoption of low emissions. Here she was the two largest person in the Maga -promoting policy of technology that was largely rejected by the right -wing base.
Other prominent Republicans, including Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson and Georgia Margori Taylor Green, He moved quickly to defend Tesla Against sabotage Trump describes “local terrorism”. Tesla’s sudden shift from the symbol of the democratic situation into the icon of Republicans has some thinking that the controversy over musk may lead to the embrace of the two parties from EVS.
“It is in a unique position and has the ability to form this discussion and help bridge the gap here,” said Joe Sax, CEO of the American Jobs Alliance, a non -profit organization that he tries to prevent.Sure partisan policy“From stopping the manufacturing boom for electric cars.” You are not sure if this is what his new pod and the type of his role in management to do, but it seems that he has the ability to do so. ”
according to The investigation of the coalition conducted After the November elections, Republicans prepared for Elon Musk, with 82 percent of the polls they say Musk is a good ambassador to EVS. The majority of Trump voters – 64 percent – said they saw Tesla positively, compared to 59 percent of those who voted in favor of Kamala Harris. “Republicans may go to the idea that there should not be a lot of cultural gap in this product category, if the CEO of the Market Company is sitting next to President Trump in the Oval Office during press conferences,” Sachs said.
Data corresponds to a recent analysis of the Stifel Financial Services Company, which found that Tesla became more convenient among Republicans as its popularity decreased with Democrats. Compared to August, 13 percent of Republicans are ready To consider buying Tesla.

However, there are reasons for doubting that EVS will remain a difficult sale for Republicans. Mark Hellington, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and a co -author of the book, said that they are usually people with traditional mindset who love big cars, not small cars with new technology they have not used before. Prius or Beck App? “The conservatives are not allergic to electric cars at all,” he said. “So I don’t think you will see a rise in Tesla sales between conservatives.”
Alexander Edwards, head of the strategic vision of research consulting, said that Republicans are looking at gas -powered cars as a more process of purchase to transport their families from one place to another. This depends on his company’s polls, which are studying psychology behind car options of about a quarter of a million Americans annually. Edwards said: “I think Elon is a bet that I think he secretly regrets that the Republicans will get out of wooden works and say:” Yes, we will support you, “Edwards said.
If they come to any electric vehicle, it may be tiny. Edwards said that one of the main things that Republicans cared about when it comes to buying a car is that it looks fast and accelerated, and Tesla witnessed more Republican buyers for this reason. Democrats were constantly buying electric cars at a rate of 4 to 1 compared to the Republicans, but from 2 to 1 when it comes to enlargement, according to Edwards data. Last year, more Republicans bought more than the Democrats for the first time – not because more Republicans flocked to the brand, but because the Democrats moved away from it.
For Democrats, who have been criticized for a long time that they had an arrogant position to lead Prius, a cold and desirable alternative to lower luggage was presented with lower luggage when they took off in early 2010. Edwards said: “Tesla finally managed to give Democratic buyers what they were looking for-a picture that resembles Prius for being thoughtful, along with the pleasure and excitement of a real luxury sporting car.” This began to change when Musk became a magnet for political controversy, starting with the seizure of Twitter in 2022. Tesla EV became a symbol of CEO of Tesla.
Edwards said: “It does not matter if you are Republican or democratic – when you jump to Batmobile, become Batman,” Edwards said. The same is true with the vehicles we buy. We often want them to explain who we are, what we have accomplished, and what we offer.
Of course, there are ways to remove electric vehicles that do not depend on the sermon from Trump or musk. SACKS recommends talking about electric cars features: its ability to accelerate faster and tougher brake Save money for every mile they leadBecause there is no need to buy gas. He said that when people have friends or family who own EV, this also helps to break the cultural gap.
Somehow, you can see Trump becomes an electric cars as an example of that particular phenomenon, with him Self -description “First Friends” Convincing him to wrap. Just two years ago, Trump complained that EVS I need a charge every 15 minutes And Kill American jobs. but, After Musk supported his presidential campaign Last summer and 288 million dollars donatedTrump reduced his accent, saying he was supporting a “very small slice” of electric cars. “I must be, as you know, because Elon supported me strongly,” Trump said.
On Tuesday, when Trump went up to his new electric car for the first time, he seemed surprised by what he saw there. “This is beautiful,” he said, as he admired the driving board. “This plate is different from what I have. Everything is computer!”
