Tesla's image is definitely tarnished. It may not be meaningfully affecting their bottom line or forecasts yet, but a bad reputation is hard to fix. As competitors start to step up and current owners look to replace their aging Teslas over the next few years, it's going to make a difference. I've got high hopes for Rivian, personally.

I won't buy one because of Musk and I know there are others like me.

I wanted one badly before I started learning more about him. I’m not longer interested.
