I own a Model 3, and I honestly think it is the best car I have ever owned.
Despite that, I know people who have ruled out owning a Tesla because they believe the brand mirrors Elon Musk's public persona. They flat-out reject any Tesla product because the brand's visible face is someone they believe doesn't represent their values.
I'm unsure he understood the implications of becoming such a polarizing figure. It was totally unnecessary, yet that was his choice.
