Their cars become less and less attractive.
No dashboard, later no turn signals, no drive stalk, defrost on touchscreen, now car is becoming subscription-based...

I have never driven a Tesla, so this is all anecdotal.
Some of my (extended) neighbors are members of a family that live near each other. One sister bought a Tesla. The brother who lived down the block laughed at her because politics. Despite that, within a year he had bought one as well. Their parents test drove it a few times and were critical about how it drove weird. But now, after about 9 months, their father mentioned in passing that he ordered one. Another brother mentioned that he would sell his Maxus for a Tesla if he could afford to.
Until recently, one had a Chevy, one a Hyundai, one a Maxus and one an ancient Subaru.
I have never seen such buy-in with any other brand, and that is despite the toxicity of the Tesla CEO. I wouldn't be so quick to write them off.
