I don't think it was this CNN article I'm remembering, but this has the survey data in it.

> Surveys by research firm Morning Consult show that in January about 22% of Democrats were considering buying a Tesla, while 17% of Republicans were looking to purchase one. And that gap has been closing — Republican consideration of buying a Tesla has risen about 3 percentage points just since December's survey. And Republicans are slightly more likely to trust the Tesla brand, 27% compared to 25% among Democrats.

Tesla base of costumers if far more then the online techno crowd. The are a global car maker that is most strongly associated with electric vehicles. And most people probably don't even know that fact.
