Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.
Probably, but probably not always. The Biden/Trump voting ratio according to 2020 CNN exit polls for people making over $100k is 42%/54%. Interestingly, when you go above $200k income it’s an even 44%/44% split. So definitely not a given. Assuming most Tesla owners are college educated (which I’m sure has its exceptions) then it’s worth mentioning that white men that graduated from college voted 48%/51% (Biden/Trump). Lastly the most confounding factor for me is that people buying Teslas are likelier to care about climate change. That’s a voting gap of 69%/29%. So I really don’t know. If I had to guess the split of Tesla owners is closer to 50/50 on political stance. I think there’s just as much a fair argument to be made that it skews left given that the left cares more about climate change and Tesla grew out of Silicon Valley elites. That is, I believe that to be true before Musk bought Twitter. Now that there’s more awareness around his shitty politics, I think the upcoming years will see Tesla ownership move further towards right wingers.
Agree with everything you are saying. I think another big factor you are missing is the urban/suburban/rural split. I would wager there are significantly more Teslas per capita in and around cities, which tend to skew more left than their surroundings in both blue and red states.
