Exactly. That’s like claiming Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and I, have an average net worth of $100B.

“Yawn, another (liberal) author for a video game website trying to take a hit at one of the most innovative men to ever live.”

Never takes long for a Musk bro to show up and post something cringy and hilarious.   

Was gonna say the same thing.  Musk doesn’t believe in giving people credit because if he did he would have to admit he has never created a single thing, he just buys into other peoples shit

You’re missing so, so many other good tweets from this.

Musk not giving people credit for anything he shows off is exactly the reason why his army of Weird Nerds think that he singlehandedly invented Rockets, Space Travel, Electric Cars, and the entire concept of Engineering.

Famous Asshole: “Hey, look at this funny thing I found, 95 million followers.”

This is why I tell folks to LEASE when the tax credit is still available — that amount gets credited on your lease price. Its what I did when I leased a Volt some years back.

I simply take this to mean that they have sufficient sales walking in the door to not have to bother with maybe-they-will-maybe-they-won’t e-mail/phone call deals. The MASSIVE KIA dealer near me that normally has a couple hundred cars on the lot currently has about 20 - and half of them are probably used. I doubt they…

“That vehicle is expensive! Fifty thousand dollars+, for a weird looking hatchback Kia.”

It’s also an globally sold EV Crossover (nominally) it’ll sell just fine. 

As electric cars require much less maintenance why is there a need for dealers? Why is the direct to consumer model (AKA Tesla) not viable? Is this government, lobbyists and big money trying to save the buggy and whip? Or is there more to this?

OR, all of this also applies to the Telluride and those are selling just fine. They’re not requiring credit checks, adding markups, and not dealing with phone or online buyers likely because the cars are selling on their own just fine.

Both seem pretty arbitrary to me. I just want the thing paid for before the warranty is up, at the lowest possible interest rate.

You see a lot of 6 year old cars falling apart?

Yeah, with a 3.XX% rate and index funds returning an average of 10% over the long term, I’m not incredibly worried about a few thousand in interest but you do you.

But then you couldn’t pretentiously tell everyone how they should be debt-free like you would be.

What’s clear to me from these replies is how many people are willing to be miserable in the back seat, and how some even gloat in their willingness to suffer in order to do what? Prove a point? Congrats guys, you are tougher than me. You win. Enjoy driving your Sparks and Versas.

I welcome you to sit behind me, an average height man (5' 10"), in the back seat of a subcompact car.

If you can afford to pay off a car in 12 months with only a couple grand down, you can afford to buy it outright. If you can afford to buy it outright, it is beneficial to get the longest finance term you can while still keeping the lowest possible interest rate, because then you can do other things with your money…
