Probably just balancing supply and demand. If there is a shortage you raise prices. That way you only lose the customers at the lower end of the demand curve. Keep the customers that are willing to pay a higher price.

Trick question. Answer is “all of them”.

I wonder which Ford dealership will be the first to advertise one with a $30k market adjustment.

Bob Lutz thought Tesla, EV’s, and Elon Musk was a Joke too in 2011. Hmmm...and who’s now pouring Billions into EV’s, shuttering plants, and restructuring revenue streams to be a player in the future now that Tesla has turned the industry on its ear (without a cent of advertising or marketing by the way). Sure, you…

It will distract you from thinking about metal fatigue in the fan blades while watching the in-flight movie miles above the icy waters of the Atlantic.

I hope they have done the napkin math. BEVs that recharge back at the depot make a heck of a lot of sense. That basically leaves long-haul trucking, which in the U.S. anyway, the required rest times are largely the bottleneck, not the recharge times.

“We will deliver the chicken. Someone else can deliver the egg.”

What qualifiers does a vehicle have to have to transition from barely a pickup to an actual pickup? No mention of Cybertruck in your post but I would lump that in with Bollinger as definitely a pickup. 14,000 lbs towing capacity is serious business

So then why so much coverage by Jalopnik when they were writing multiple articles blaming Tesla for the crash,  but when a report comes out that may exonerate Tesla the story gets buried on the proverbial back page?

I don't like Elon Musk, but I dislike dishonest "journalism" even more. I am a journalism "stan". Not a Musk fan.

“Gas in the U.S. is increasingly in short supply because of a major cyberattack on a pipeline, Nissan had a record annual loss, and Tesla”

Apples to Oranges. I don’t think anyone else on the market other than Tesla even offers a solar roof, for example the one in this photo.

Ive been saying this for years here on Jalopnik: hydrogen is a really bad fuel for transportation. 

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, even on out of state deals...the problem is not the “complexitity of the system” if a FL dealer refuses to send a quote for a Florida customer, especially when their competiton can…

the question is, is he buying it for the current features available now, or the hopes that he’ll be able to turn his car into a robotaxi soon?

Did you and Jason have to flip a coin to decide which of you would get to write this Tesla hit piece?

“nobody actually wanted small sedans and hatchbacks”
Honda, Hyundai/Kia, and Toyota would beg to differ.

I can’t wait to hear how they’re manipulating US currency by accepting it.

“Yippee!”-them

I thought the Tesla attempted to pull the car to the side of the road when Autosteer was disabled. Was I misinformed?
