It’s because Elon went MAGA and went nuts. I was one of the earliest to put myself on the reservation list and could not wait for my turn to configure mine. But as I waited Elon got more and more crazy (with his adolescent humor, etc), he started supporting Trump, and he now is literally spreading lies and misinformation on that cesspool of his that used to be called Twitter. It doesn’t take a genius to see that the old environmentally conscious, college educated customer base for Tesla would be offended and horrified by this, and so now he reaps what he has sown.
