I’m not part of TSLAQ brainiacs nor am I talking about stock (I have no position in TSLA nor was I ever shorting it so we are on the same page). I’m just looking at trends that don’t make any sense to me. Looking at trailing data the demand is not there continuously and it’s bothering me where these cars are going. The certain lack of transparency is annoying as well. It’s a purely “make it make sense” puzzle for me, nothing else.
But I really don’t want to turn this into another tesla clusterf)(*k of a thread.
however, i think the proposed version of the EV purchase credits are more of “carrot on stick” for both manufacturers to lower entry level EV prices & for customers to adapt EVs.
Point of sale incentives sound like an easy way for dealers to not provide any type of dealer contribution. They will try and bake in that EV incentive as if it is from their generosity
No different than a dealer advertising a sale price with the manufacture incentives already baked in saying “look! It’s already 5-10% off!” and not giving any dealer discount.
At least the dealer has a relationship with the manufacturer. This would be money coming straight from the federal government and shouldn’t be part of advertised pricing.
I would prefer a system where you can file after purchase and then receive reimbursement to avoid the dealer games.
