Tesla owners: We dislike Elon Musk, should we trade in?

Outside Source

Available for over a year

We hear from US Tesla owners on whether they'll keep their cars despite some backlash. US President Donald Trump has bought a Tesla in support of the car company he calls "Elon's baby." But analysts say the president's policies on tariffs are making investors nervous. The company has also faced protests over owner Elon Musk's ties to the Trump administration and his support for far-right politics. This backlash hasn't just been against the company - but also the people who drive their cars. Tesla charging stations have been set on fire, and vehicles torched. Those who support the model but not the man have been left in a dilemma. We bring together Josh in Maine and Jennifer in Ohio to hear their experiences.
