My wife is one of those who refuse to consider a Tesla vehicle based
upon his (miss) behavior...
I think this is an example of the logical fallacies that permeate our
society today.
Basically, it's an "Ad hominem" (to the man) argument (attacking the
man, rather than what he has produced). Musk may be a jerk; but he still
deserves credit for accomplished great things.
Both my wife and I acknowledge that the Tesla vehicles are technically
excellent (which is not always the same as reliable), but she is "voting
with her pocketbook" to not support the company/CEO on ideological grounds.
Some of that is she detests Elon Musk personally, and some of that is
using his past behavior as a gauge of how the company may (or may not)
support out of warranty owners in the future.
