>Someone somewhere is spending a lot of money on promoting those views to the sort of people who don't change their browser or their homepage.

The thing about these people is they really don't matter. They are on deaths door anyway and pretty soon they won't be part of the conversation. The important people are the young car buyers of tomorrow. They seem to be quite fond of Tesla and EVs in general.

Whether or not you think they matter, they vote, and in larger numbers than the younger electorate.

Thats my point. Yes I acknowledge that they affect today. But they will not affect tomorrow and thats where the thinking should really be because tomorrow is coming really fast!

some portion of Millennials are in their 40s now. The future is definitely EV (and because they still haven't achieved their parents level of status likely left leaning as well)
