I’m so sure that this will happen…

    Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?

      As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.

      When did I say that every place was near an assembly line…? I said ‘not my problem’. It’s a company, they can figure it out.

      And yes, yes I do. Again, not my problem. It’s almost like different locations can set different prices or something to compensate for variables. Amazing, what a concept!

        Advertising cars would never be feasible on nationally broadcast TV under your system.

        They did figure out the problem though. Price set by the manufacture, show cost for delivery on the window sticker, then when you buy they car the title and tax are figured out for where you live. It’s the fairest and easiest way of showing and figuring the price. If you can’t figure out that window stickers are available online and the tax and title yourself before you buy, that’s a you problem. It’s not on the seller nor the manufacturer to post pricing for every state or municipality.

        If you want cleaner pricing, demand an end to titling and car taxes.

          I’d be fine if there were no more car ads tbh. Sounds like another “not my problem”.
