I’d rather call it an ‘early adopter tax’ than a markup. It was a damn expensive early adopter tax, too, since the Plaid base price is $90K.

Yes, that would indeed work!

I think you’re projecting.

Fucking Assclown is a good way to describe the utter douchebag that continue to prop up CyberCuck....  Err....  Musk. 

There is no ‘mark-up’ on Teslas. You buy direct from the factory. You pay what the factory charges you.

The only “clown” here is someone who actually believes musk and supports him.

Yep, there’s a 2021 Taycan with 21k miles by me advertised for $50k, and it had an original MSRP of $98,430. This is in spite of Porsche raising the entry price from $80k to $100k in the mean time.

Look at me!
I’m rich and can afford to flush my money down the toilet!

I can’t be bothered to look at his subs, but buying the car would likely a be a write off in the first place - but he will also be writing off the depreciation.

He replied with his “FSD will make everything better!” Pitch even then. He's been using that for nearly a decade now. And yet, recently it's been announced that most Teslas currently on the road won't support the system. 

Exactly.

Luxury EVs age like unpasturized milk.

I was thinking about the exact same thing!  He is such a garbage snake oil salesman.  No wonder he gets along with Trump

“Youtuber” = zero sympathy.

I have a real hard time caring for someone who can afford a $140K vehicle that’s depreciated that much 🤷‍♂️🤣

He bought it knowing Musk is a fascist and scam artist, so he deserves to be taken to the cleaners. And that is even without the “influencer” angle.

This seems relevant right now:

Car manufacturers are allowed to temporarily import non-conformant vehicles for R&D purposes.

Hell, I don’t know why auto insurance companies don’t send free ones to their customers.
