  I still can’t believe that 46k people are both that stupid and have 100k to spend.

    . . . and have 100k to spend.

    You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you’re dumb enough to do it.

      I’m curious, does Tesla have its own financing division that gives out these loans?

    If you’re dumb, and you can get $15-17k from selling an existing vehicle, you can get a 3 year lease down to delta of $500-$600.

    Telsa was pushing leases pretty hard because a lot of EV incentives are lease-only. I’ll bet they duped a lot of people into putting a shitload down for a lease.

    the vast majority of them i see around my area have branding decals plastered all over them. no doubt they are being used as a business expense or some other dumb shit.

      A van would be so much better for advertising. Much more space to put a logo and text plus it’s higher up and therefor more easily visible.

        You could put a blinking neon light ad all over the entire night sky, but if someone farted, you would still look around and ask “who farted?”.

        The Tesla is so stupid ugly that it attracts attention the same way.

      There are huge tax breaks for…

      Buying a car for your business. Buying a car that has a 6ft bed for your business Buying a car with 6000+ lb curb weight for your business. Buying an electric car for your business. Buying a car that is wrapped or decorated to promote your business.

      When you put them all together, the CT is basically 100% tax write off.

  To be fair, Rivian is selling as many trucks as they can produce. Rivian could sell more vehicles if they had the line capacity.

  Tesla is an older company with more mature manufacturing lines, and they can make more Trucks, but no one wants them.
