The thing is, Tesla's biggest market risk is Elon himself. He's making the brand toxic to what was its core audience.

Yup. I'll never buy a Tesla. Not only because Leon is the CEO, but other automakers make better electric cars now.

I'd argue that the thing that gave Tesla their advantage over other electric cars was their charging network and that's no longer Tesla exclusive. Then again I've never driven or owned an electric car.
