The threshold for the tax is tens of millions of dollars, but thanks for the scare tactics.

Just FYI, income tax was also sold as “hey we are only going to do this to really rich people, you have nothing to worry about”. Also, other countries have absolutely raided retirement accounts.

Paying tax on money you haven’t received is a horrible idea and if you think they wont use this as an excuse to raid the middle class you are clueless.

I rent A LOT of cars. A few years ago I was headed to a conference in Banff. When I went to pick up my rental car the day before heading west to Banff, the agency owner asked me “Where to this time?”

Will the Spanish cops need to get a special tool to fully remove him from the cell?

Good for him. We can't all be James Hunt.

then include it in the goddamn MSRP 

Not sure if the pandemic has changed things but certain things are always really hard to get (Be Our Guest, character meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table, the Luau at the Polynesian) but most places aren’t all that difficult if you are willing to be a little flexible.

I’d like to see the subsidy changed from a discount on the car to being paid to electricians for completely installing L2 chargers at buyers homes. It would be great if buyers didn’t have to sort that part out and just knew that a licensed electrician would take care of the install for them (up to $7500 which should…

tesla should improve their detection of whether or not there’s someone in the driver’s seat,
but instead of just stopping the car safely when their isn’t,
allow it to keep driving, but spontaneously veer off and slam into a wall, while recording the interior occupants to ensure legal liability is not dodged.

My car has weight sensors just so it can yell at you for not using a seatbelt. What the hell?

If this were any other car than a Tesla, the article would be putting 110% of the blame on the driver.

How does having a customer sitting in the dealership lessen that complexity in a way that his sitting at home and waiting for an email or telephone call does not?

“If over the course of several hundred deals thoughout the year MOST dealers get it right and have no problem sending out the door prices...”

Taxes are a set rate and are a 3 second Google search away. Titles are a set price that are a 3 second Google search away. So the only way to interpret your drivel is that “we need to rip off people to make ends meet”.

This x1000, always remember who’s on which side of the fence. The dealer needs you, not the other way around.

That’s because those who already own there actively work to keep the supply small, maintaining their property values. San Fran is a great example of this.

Most EV owners are peak assholes themselves from experience regardless.  Not saying it’s right that he did it.  I award him two stars for how clever it was though.

Pretty sure they still made good money selling all of those cars, this was just a discount after-all (one they should not have received, but I sense a number of those people would not have bought FCA cars otherwise so it worked out)

Needs muzzle ports and a shorter, bullpup-design defensive weapon.
