They finally did put this in near the end:
"...Interestingly, Tesla culture may also play a role in excluding
women. Men are more likely to invest in and buy Teslas than women,
possibly in part because Tesla perpetuates a very Silicon Valley
tech-bro mindset that features a very hostile attitude toward women...."
I was reading for this in part because when I have spoken with people
who will never, under any circumstances, buy an EV from Tesla (basically
due to their view of Mr. Musk), a number of them (but certainly not all
of them) are women . In the US, where the supply of good long range new
and used non-Tesla BEVs has been constrained, to this day, and where the
sales have been even further constrained by high prices, it's hard for
me to say why it seems logical that the purchase of BEVs skews toward
one gender more than the other, but it does seem somehow to make it fit.

It's not really a surprise, and it tracks with anecdotes I've heard.
It's preliminary and possibly sketchy research, but it suggests that men are
markedly more likely than women to buy and continue using EVs.

These are horrible times to be a science-fiction writer. All
the dystopian scenarios you can dream up become real before
you've even finished the first draft.
