With Elon Musk's actions in the American government, alongside American President Donald Trump, and on Twitter/X, the Tesla brand has been impacted.
In Vancouver, protests have taken place, the brand was removed from the auto show, and police have arrested one man for vandalizing a dealership.
Given the brand's current state here and abroad, V.I.A. polled readers, asking, (if money were not an issue) would you buy a Tesla right now?
And the answer was a fairly solid "No."
More than 90 percent of those polled said they would not consider buying a Tesla vehicle. And the answer was essentially the same when looking at just folks in Vancouver versus the general readership. In both cases, more than 90 per cent are not interested in the once popular brand.
