As of March 12, the net impression for respondents through the political spectrum is -12.8. “Printing” measures if consumers have a positive or negative impression of a given brand. The company goes even worse with the Liberals, with a clear printing of -35.5. The moderates are at a clear impression -9.2. The conservatives are the only group with a positive net printing of Tesla, measured at 7.5.

Yougov also asks if the respondents would plan to buy a Tesla. According to Yougov Data, around 8% of liberals said they would plan to buy a Tesla, compared to 12% at the start of 2022. Perhaps without surprise, the percentage of conservatives who say they consider buying a Tesla went from 6.7% to 8.4%. Even these figures are lagging behind: when you consider the average response rate for all car manufacturers, 10% of the general population say they would plan to buy a vehicle.
