The people I know who bought one don't give a shit about ethics. They stayed away from them for as long as they were socially unacceptable, but as soon as the storm blew over they saw their chance to buy one.
Just... a data point. My experience is that at least 20% of a population doesn't care about stuff like this. They care about their own social status, but not ethics.
Targeting 20 percent of the population isn't the type of business model that puts your stock this far above all the established automakers though. The correction on the junk stock can't come soon enough.
