Note that they were operating as a licensed dealership. 

An Alfa Romeo or a Jaaaaaaag XE is the best buy in the off-lease sedan market.

The problem with these is that they are designed for Japanese sized individuals, not US sized. Anybody over 5'5" won’t fit. 

A BMW K1600 is a legitimate touring motorcycle with all of the benefits you mentioned.

I think this is a start for moving the company forward, based on going after a new market segment.

The target customer for this isn’t the mainstream one - It’s the same person buying a $120k+ Tesla. Very high income, very style and image conscious, likes technology. Probably has whatever the newest smartphone is.

The average customer for this will be a 40-60 year old man, with an income of > $150k, working in technology or some form of white collar industry.

I can see these having the same issues at a dealership level that early EVs did in car dealerships that weren’t prepared for them - Think Nissan Leaf / Chevy Volt & Bolt, etc.

Out of all of the elements in the movie series that are implausible in reality, this seems like a very minor one.

There’s one of those at the Pittsburgh Airport too:

Oil changes on a Ram / Cummins are easy with the proper tools. Also, every 6 months or 15k on the newer ones, not once per year.

Your math is bad. From the article:

There’s generally two ways:

• A used Ram pickup will be, on average, 29.2 percent cheaper with an average savings of $12,674.

This is the first thing that came up when I Bing’d it:

The overwhelming majority of SALT deductions go to people making >$100k. Those aren’t the people I’m referring to, as a net price increase of $1,750 on a new Tesla won’t affect them as much.

Remember the standard deduction went up to compensate for the itemized deduction reduction. 

Not really. Assuming no kids & standard deductions, according to my math you need to make < $70k if single or < $110k combined if married to come out ahead under the new pricing. 

You forgot to point out the fact that they sold more cars in 2018 than in all other years of their existence combined.

This guy needs a new manuel Hellcat in an obnoxious color.
