Liking him for railing against government agencies and brash style doesn't necessarily mean they are EV fans.

Neither was Musk, which is sort of the whole point of Tesla.

Conservatives still aren't a proponent of EV, especially government mandates for them or to pay for them.

That has nothing to do with Conservatives liking or disliking someone. I guess Conservatives are just better at respecting people they don't agree with on everything.
