The day after delivery? Fuck yes, a brand new car with 1 mile on the clock is going to be worth near what you paid for it! It doesn’t depreciate THAT quick. 1 year later, it is going to be worth probably $60k or less, but not 1 day later.

This is true, but I don’t think anyone expects an MFG price to ever go down. Prices of cars naturally go up over time, and have never gone backwards save for a few select examples, but those go back maybe $500 at most. Tesla saying MSRP is now $XX I think people are most likely going to assume that’s the price now for

But the difference is entirely in the MSRP and not the discount. Say you bought a Tesla for $70k, drove off the lot and got in an accident. Well now the new car is only worth $56k MAX when new, now factor in depreciation on the used car. So insurance is going to say “well, new is just $56k, and used for this same car

Remember when Tesla touted their used resale value by guaranteeing a certain residual amount? This is basically the opposite of that, they are going to ruin the used value of their cars doing this. Your X you bought last week is now $13k less valuable even if you have not taken delivery yet! 

Come on Tesla stock! Let’s see that record breaking fortune loss for Elon grow! If you are gonna be a record holder, might as well make it as high as you can so it’s tough to beat ;)

If they are both moving with people inside, supposedly no one. But if one is parked, THEN the person driving who hits the parked car is at fault. Literally the only time fault is placed is when one car is empty and someone else drives into it.

I don’t think I have ever heard of attorneys getting involved to determine fault, that is usually determined by the police report. I have had to fight an attorney(and won!) to get diminished value after an accident though, but I don’t think many people even know that is a thing or pursue it. You would probably have to

From how I understood it yes. They pay the claim from your own insurance and call it a day.

Maybe if MI didn’t have bullshit No-Fault insurance, their rates would be lower. I have uninsured motorist on my insurance so if some idiot hits me without insurance I am not screwed, but why should I take the hit on my policy if the person that hit me has insurance? Make that asshole pay and leave my policy alone. I

And I blame the dealers because they have to sell new cars in colors for them to be on the used market. We get stuck buying whatever color is on the lot when the first owner buys, and that is always grey, black, or white. I loved my Tangerine Scream Focus ST, but I also bought it new in 2013, but most used ST’s I see

I spent a good couple months looking for a used Honda Ridgeline in blue or red that had all the features I wanted. Ended up buying silver because it is literally the only thing I could find in a 500 mile radius that fit my specs. I actually had TONs of silver options, literally no colors.

Oh man, I support this! I had the see through purple hue Gameboy color as a kid and thought it was the SHIT! Lets get all those see through colors they made the N64 in as well.

How about colors in general?! There are so many makes and models where you can’t even GET color anymore. It’s just swatches of greys, blacks, and whites on a lot of car customizers, MAYBE an army green or a dark maroon if you are lucky, but come on! Give me reds and blues and greens and oranges of many shades! And

Now playing

This is one of my greatest saves. Dad said I should have just hit it straight on instead of swerving and possibly wrecking, but fuck that! I saved my Focus ST!

Yes, you “blanked” out. There have been at least 2, maybe 3 previous articles talking about these plates. 

Well, they are advertising new models at CES so the automakers really think cars are turning into video games

They are definitely pulling a Dodge and phoning in the new models right now. I can’t wait for the Challenger to stop being made, so tired of looking at the same car 45 times in a 10 minute drive. 

Awesome! Now the police can request my driving footage to prove I was speeding and I get to pay a monthly fee for the self incrimination, YAY!

All I see is a new front bumper. Interior does look a little different, but the entire body needs updated. 

For real! Why mention the Model X instead of the much older Model S. That car has been the exact same for the most part for over a decade! Tesla has never done a major redesign, and I think that is going to start being their downfall with all these new electrics coming out. Well that and Elon totally ruining the
