Ohhhhhhhh you guys have to watch the video!

Just look at how beautiful that thing is!

Do they just let you in or do you need to get special permission? Ugh, I'd love to check them out.

I'm starting to think Infiniti makes more concept cars than production.

I think it's suffering from the same situation as the GTR, all the new ones cost so much more that the used models have inflated values. This is actually affecting a lot of used cars right now, especially pickup trucks.

When buying a new car, you'll be paying the taxes at the time of purchase, not when you register. Private party sales tax operates exactly how you're describing it though, but that's used cars obviously.

Taxes are not transferred upon registration, they're point of sale based. It's just like buying any product in a different state, like a TV, the sales tax is not transferred.

Oh yeah, that's definitely the case if you do it that way. I was talking more about the people who are buying the car in a different state, then registering it in TX. The other state is who will collect the taxes since that's where the sale took place.

Your state is also missing out on a lot of tax revenue. At 7%, they've given up about $1m in taxes so far with the 1800 teslas that are floating around the state.

That's entirely up to the borrower. I'm a firm believer that at the end of the day, it's your signature that's going on the dotted line. If you're coming from a situation that negatively impacted your credit in the past, you should probably be even more cautious with a new loan going forward.

Oh... no, I don't think that at all. I must have misinterpreted your statement, I was just arguing that car loans can help sub-prime borrowers.

Yes, it helped the buyer re-establish their creditworthiness, assuming the payments were made on time. The buyer also got 7 years of use out of a better quality vehicle than they would have had they not taken out a loan.

I'm sure this will get lost in the sea of comments on this article, but I'm hoping by the time I have a kid who is at that 16ish age, we have readily available autonomous cars. I'd feel so much better about my kid being in a car that drove itself, even if it cost $40k.

Sounds good to me, but I want those delicious projector headlights.

Looks like someone wrecked it and they replaced the bumpers using another car.

On the flip side of this argument, how about all the times dealers gouge consumers because they have a hot new product that's in demand? Chevy dealers all across the US are trying to charge buyers $20k+ over MSRP for the Z28 because they can. This wouldn't happen with Tesla.

Here's the thing, if people don't want to work for Tesla because they hire only part time, then they can go down the street and hawk ____ product.

This doesn't sound like fear mongering at all.

Chicken Tax.

Diesel cars dont get any sort of low-emissions vehicle tax breaks in the US, at least on the federal level.
