Not tobrain on the parade, but the source seems to be an online reader survey from t-online.be. That means the scientific value of this is pretty low. For decent surveys, you need a random sample. In this case, you need to be a visitor of t-online, and you decide for yourself that you want to participate. That’s already enough to skew results. Add to that that there’s a lot of online activism against Tesla (for obvious reasons), so the poll could have been partly hijacked.
Such a low number of people who don’t care or haven’t heard about Tesla going rogue is not realistic anyway. There’s a lot of people who are weird, contrarian or simply avoid all news.
Also surveys generally are a bad way to do science anyway unless it’s psychology, sociology or smt. It really triggers me when people take survey results seriously without critical thought.
Well they are an excellent tool to gauge public opinion. But you need a random sample. That’s always been tough, but it’s getting harder and harder to do so.
