Trump, Hater of EVs, Says He’s Buying a Tesla

President Trump wants to drill-baby-drill and, on Tuesday, (11 Mar ’25) was in the market for an electric vehicle.

Like everything else in Washington these days, the politics of car ownership has turned upside-down.

Trump didn’t just want any electric vehicle. He was on a mission to purchase a Tesla—a sop to his adviser Elon Musk, who happens to be the car company’s chief executive.

The Tesla was “the most Democratic car make by a longshot,” according to a 2023 analysis of consumer data by Mike Shannon and Will Feltus published in Fortune Magazine. Democratic strongholds of San Francisco, Denver, Honolulu and Los Angeles had the highest concentration of Tesla owners, they found.

 

But the car got a Republican pitchman at Trump’s photo-op on Tuesday, where several models were parked on the White House grounds for the president to inspect. Holding notes that detailed the prices of each model, the president expounded on the virtues of Musk’s vehicles...Trump noted that he hasn’t actually driven a car in a long time, though he repeatedly said he loves to drive. The president said that he plans to allow his staff to use the car. (A U.S. Secret Service official confirmed that presidents can only pilot their own vehicles in controlled and secure settings, which don’t include public roads.)

...Trump, who frequently brags about his prowess as a tough negotiator, said he wasn’t looking for a deal on Tuesday. “I’m president,” Trump said, “so I want to pay full price.”
