+1 pretty misleading headline. Makes it sound like it’s a 120k skip the line fee on top of the price of the truck but as far as I can tell it’s 120K total for a completely loaded truck. So even if you say there’s absolutely zero incremental value between the 99,990 “normal” loaded truck and 120K “foundation” loaded…

+1 to this. It’s almost impossible to find an article on here about a new car without at least one commenter from the “It costs HOW MUCH?!?! New car prices are insane, anyone who buys a new car is a fiscally irresponsible idiot! I’ve got 975,000 miles on my 1991 tacoma 2 door long bed and you’ll have to pry it from my…

What makes you so sure that this road is “official” enough to get picked up as a “real road” by Google but that the the paper map people would somehow have different input data that would result in them excluding it?

250K is a LOT of trucks. Basically saying for every 2-3 F-series ford (not F-150, F-series in total including 150-650) Tesla is going to supposedly sell a Cyber truck.

Any other billionaire’s boat wouldn’t have any trouble docking at the port, which can accommodate yachts in size up to 400 feet. The 416-foot Koru dwarfs that in nearly every dimension.

Honestly TGUSA was so underrated. I think the biggest problem was people setting unrealistic expectations using TGUK as the benchmark.

I think it depends what organization you’re buying from, and it sounds like the one you work for is on the good end but that doesn’t mean there aren’t total scams out there too so I wouldn’t say he’s wrong/misinformed, but you’re both generalizing the entire industry just in opposite directions.

Your next new car will be more expensive, that’s almost a given, but it won’t only be because of labor

I’m admittedly not an expert in this specific area, but clicking through your link and some of the cited links within it, all I saw was reference to requiring manufacturers to be transparent about whether a warranty is transferable but I’m not seeing anything mandating that it be transferable  

On what grounds does this feel even remotely illegal?

Except they’re not disallowing you from doing anything you are still perfectly within your right to do whatever you want with the car. This clause is just saying the manufacturers commitment to provide warranty service is subject to your commitment keeping it.

Except you’re assuming this is some secret between the owner and GM.

Is that really so crazy though? $1,500 per month to own a ~150K car doesn’t seem so outlandish 

I think you underestimate how many people overextend themselves with these kind of cars. Sure a lot of buyers probably come in and pay for their audi with a personal check that doesn’t cause a noticeable difference in their balance.

Could have saved us 16 pages of clicking and just said “Luxury cars that don’t quite cross the ‘exotic’ threshold depreciate a lot”

100%. I’m always astounded how it seems like anyone who has played with the online build and price will know more than 90% of dealer sales people.

But for electric vehicles, “it was usually four visits, an hour each, before they would buy the EV,” Smith said. Customers want to make sure they understand the technology, how to charge it and more. “So I’m volunteering to take a 75 percent pay cut — and no salesman wants to do that.”

Come on guys, CLEARLY his reason for selling is he wants to be a law abiding citizen and therefor needs to ditch this illegal truck and wanted to be a respectable seller and disclose the unfortunate tune and delete so that the potential buyer is fully aware of the work needed to make this truck legal after purchase :)
