Yeah you’re right, and political lines seem to shift around more too.
10 years ago, if you owned a Tesla you were likely a liberal. Today, you’re likely a conservative.
I thought this most recent US election would act as a global reset for political tension but it seems to have further stoked divisiveness.
It's interesting you say that. In America, it feels like political tension and division are as low as they've been since Trump first became president.
I'm not saying it's harmonious, but the establishment left seems really defeated and isn't putting up much fight.

Hope you’re right.
From the outside, it seems like the hate against Elon and Tesla is really heating up.

I can't really speak to how widespread that is. I see the same videos as everyone else, but I live in neither the kind of place where people own Teslas nor the kind of place where they would be vandalized.

Fair enough.
Last week I was in New York and two kids (8-10yo) walking down the street burst out into laughter when a cybertruck rolled up to the stop sign.
Not laughing in excitement, but laughing and pointing fingers at the driver as if owning a Cybertruck was like walking down the street with toilet paper stuck to your shoe.
It’s anecdotal, but it was the first time I saw an IRL example of people really hating Tesla, and it was crazy to me that such strong views on a car company were already so ingrained in the minds of school-aged kids.

These same people hating and laughing at Tesla just couple months ago were all in favor of helping Tesla because of global awareness. Now they hate Tesla. Bunch of hipocrites to me

I approve of that reaction.
