It meant you were a progressive environmentalist who had style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It meant you belonged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ten miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge, tucked into the lush, green hills of Marin County, Mill Valley is an idyllic place to live \u2014 for those who are wealthy and liberal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And for years, Teslas were \u201cthe Ferrari for the Patagonia-wearing crowd,\u201d said Nathan Ballard, a political consultant who lives in Mill Valley and owns a black Tesla Model S. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the sleek electric cars have come to mean something else entirely for Mill Valley residents since the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Activists elsewhere have set fire to Tesla charging stations, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/03\/nyregion\/tesla-vandalism-hate-crimes.html?searchResultPosition=1\" title=\"\">scrawled swastikas into Tesla vehicles<\/a> and sprayed graffiti on dealerships. The battle raging in Mill Valley is something quieter: an internal war within the minds and hearts of Tesla owners, their environmental ethos clashing with their rage toward Elon Musk, Tesla\u2019s chief executive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">California drivers own far more electric vehicles per capita than residents in any other state. And Marin County has more Teslas than anywhere but Silicon Valley, according to data from the state\u2019s energy commission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Marin County is far more liberal than the Silicon Valley. In last year\u2019s presidential election, 81 percent of voters in Marin supported Kamala Harris, compared to just 17 percent for Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Mill Valley, a rather unexceptional house can cost $2 million, and life is good for those who can afford it. The Mediterranean climate keeps the weather reliably pleasant. Simple pleasures include surfing at Stinson Beach, mountain biking down the trails of Mount Tamalpais or eating a Happy Hippie arugula salad under the redwoods at The Depot Cafe and Bookstore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite its wealth, Mill Valley retains a splash of its tie-dyed roots. Bob Weir, the former guitarist for the Grateful Dead, still co-owns a concert venue here called Sweetwater Music Hall, which features blues sessions and an upcoming Bob Marley tribute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the country\u2019s strife has disturbed the vibe even in blissed-out Mill Valley. The town is full of Tesla owners and Tesla haters \u2014 and they are often one and the same person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are the P.C. liberals, you know?\u201d said Vikki Goldman, who resents her Tesla but does not want to pay to break her lease. \u201cWhat are we going to do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Residents haven\u2019t been afraid to express strong opinions. Some who despise Mr. Musk regularly protest on the freeway overpass between Mill Valley and the closest Tesla dealership. Seniors for Peace has added Tesla to its list of grievances during the group\u2019s Friday protests outside an assisted living center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And lately, those index cards have cropped up, including one on Ms. Goldman\u2019s charcoal Tesla Model Y. She found it surprising, considering she had already put a sticker with the word \u201cElon\u201d crossed out in red on her car. It was an indication of how she felt and, she figured, a way to inoculate herself from scorn. Plus, she said, it helps her find her Tesla in a sea of other charcoal Teslas in parking lots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last fall, Ms. Goldman hosted a local event to raise money for Ms. Harris in her backyard. Musicians played to an audience of loyal Democrats, along with several ducks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Goldman is the author of \u201cWhat To Do When You\u2019re Dating a Jew,\u201d which includes everything from matzo ball recipes to the meanings of Yiddish terms. She considers Mr. Musk \u201ca Nazi,\u201d she said, for his support for Germany\u2019s far-right party and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/24\/world\/europe\/elon-musk-roman-salute-nazi.html\" title=\"\">for his stiff arm salutes<\/a> during one of Mr. Trump\u2019s inaugural parties. (Mr. Musk has disputed his arm gesture was a Nazi salute, calling the accusation \u201cdirty tricks.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe could have just as easily gotten a Hyundai,\u201d Ms. Goldman said. \u201cI feel like a jerk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Others share the sentiment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Terry Ross, a retired lawyer, has lived in Mill Valley for 54 years and said he loves that it has retained its character. He bought his red Model 3 in 2022 for about $64,000, but said that he put his car up for sale after he saw Mr. Musk give that salute. Six days later, a used car company hauled it away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He received $28,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBottom line,\u201d Mr. Ross said, \u201cI had to get rid of that thing as soon as I could.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tesla, the White House and Mr. Musk did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Carter Zinn, a Mill Valley-based lawyer, leased his Tesla two years ago and recently thought about driving it to the dealership and setting it on fire because he found Mr. Musk\u2019s politics so loathsome. But after thinking more about it, he decided that Mr. Musk had done more good than harm. Mr. Zinn said he admired Tesla\u2019s innovation with electric vehicles and battery storage for solar energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Plus, he said, the cars are just plain fast and fun to drive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou can make a legitimate argument that he has done more to save the world than anyone else on the planet right now,\u201d Mr. Zinn said, adding, \u201cThey\u2019re a tremendous product, and they\u2019re a great value.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">John Turnacliff, a Mill Valley resident who heads the Marin County Republican Central Committee, finds it all amusing. Especially the fact that anti-Musk bumper stickers have become the latest local trend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI do smile when I see those,\u201d said Mr. Turnacliff, who drives a Mercedes with a Trump bumper sticker. \u201cThey don\u2019t want to sell the cars, but they want to make some kind of statement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The index cards recently caused a public stir when one Tesla owner expressed frustration on social media at receiving one of the shaming notes. He said he had photos of the postcard vigilante that had been taken by his Tesla\u2019s camera, but did not post them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Goldman was likewise stumped by the card on her windshield. Her husband, however, solved the mystery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He spotted a woman carrying a thick handful of notecards: their neighbor and good friend, Debbie Coller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Coller, 75, quickly confessed to being the index card marauder of Mill Valley. She has lost count of how many she has deposited, but she is on her third Sharpie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cTeal, purple and now blue,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Coller, a Democrat who was once a Green Party member, said she admired Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. She protested the Vietnam War in college and has participated in several demonstrations against Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She retired from the natural foods business and lives with her husband, a guitarist in five local bluegrass bands. She said she was inspired by Sheryl Crow, the famed singer who sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds to NPR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019ve got to do something, and this is what I can do,\u201d Ms. Coller explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She is concerned, she said, that Mr. Musk\u2019s federal cuts would jeopardize the Social Security checks and Medicare coverage that she and her husband rely upon. Mr. Musk <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/14\/us\/politics\/musk-doge-social-security.html\" title=\"\">has said<\/a> he was focused on finding fraud in entitlement programs and called Social Security \u201cthe biggest Ponzi scheme of all time,\u201d though Mr. Trump has denied he would cut benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On a recent afternoon, Ms. Coller took a stack of her cards to a nearby shopping mall. There, she found plenty of Teslas to target, sometimes parked side by side. She moved sneakily, as if worried about being caught.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Coller, who drives a Prius, said she thinks Tesla owners should sell their cars and donate the funds to charities, abandon them at Tesla dealerships or at least put anti-Musk stickers on their bumpers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But many Tesla owners in Mill Valley are averse to taking a financial hit. Local used car sites show a flood of Teslas for sale in Marin County well below $35,000. The automaker this week <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/22\/business\/tesla-earnings-elon-musk.html\" title=\"\">said that its profit fell 71 percent<\/a> in the first three months of the year, and the company referred to the potential impact of \u201cchanging political sentiment\u201d on demand. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Heather Barberie, who bought a white Tesla Model X in 2020, said she is currently unemployed as an actor and cannot afford to sell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf I had the finances that we could just take our Tesla out to the desert and blow it up and have a little bonfire around it, sure,\u201d she said. \u201cBut we need our car, and we\u2019re not able to replace it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Instead, she came up with an interim solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She unscrewed the \u201cT\u201d logo from the front, hoping that it made the vehicle a little less conspicuous. She now keeps the metal symbol in her junk drawer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Sheelagh McNeill<!-- --> contributed research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
