Tesla sales in the UK surged by 20% in February. Overall EV sales there are up over 40%. The Tesla Model Y is the second most popular car in the UK, the Model 3 is the 3rd most popular. Sales also surging in Korea and China. When the monkey-see/monkey-do mob obsession with anti-Tesla memes and burning things to the ground fades and its attention moves to its next meaningless target, normal service will resume. Do people not notice this pattern? How the mob picks a target, you get a few months of pile-on, then it gets bored and picks another one? Supermarkets not long ago. Men, under #metoo. Insurance companies. Once the mob’s bored attention shifts, little has changed and life returns to how it was before. Like a Mexican wave at a cricket game.
