Harsh but I have to say is there a car company with the kind of hype and fanboyism of Tesla?

I understand 5 years ago when Tesla was doing things nobody else was doing but electric cars are mainstream now. If I had the money I'd be buying a Volvo Polestar.

Jeep. I know so many people who love their Jeeps despite them largely being garbage. To me, Jeep is like Harley Davidson; they look great until they start to fall apart.

Yes, almost all of them.

The pickup truck people are very brand loyal and don't forget the buy American crowd.

You just see a lot of Tesla stuff because there is a cross section of tech people who like Tesla because it is marketed like a phone instead of a car.

You need to drink the Kool-aid pretty hard in order to buy hypercars like the LaFerrari but there's not really anything on the scale of Tesla.

Most car companies inspire wild enthusiasm and hype. It represents a huge purchase for the majority of Americans, hence they have pretty extreme buy-in for their decisions

Saturn had a similar fan club, but I don't think it was as vocal.
