I want to buy a new Civic or Corolla. The Toyota and Honda dealers in Tennessee are still playing games. Charging over MSRP . Some will not even give you a price until you come to the dealer. The dealers are still scamming folks.
Not in Canada,Prices are insane and people are paying the high prices and interest,My 2019 Dodge Ram pickup truck has 30k miles So I'm great and got a great deal and don't have to pay the high prices here,I sure hope it comes to Canada so we get a break on high prices and high interest, Thank You For Sharing Scotty.

I went to the dealership at the end of my lease to payoff the car, they told me “ok but we need to purchase the car and then sell it back to you”. That transaction increased the price 13k. I walked away, went to a bank to ask for a loan, bank sent check directly to manufacturer’s financial institution skipping the dealership and their 13k financial fee. 🤦♂️

Scotty is spot on with his observations. Teslas buy direct sales model was another reason I bought one.

Car dealers are government protected monopolies and some of the most powerful lobbying groups in every state and in DC.

@@huejanus1333 where did you buy it? I've been trying to buy a new 2023 Corolla LE gasoline sedan for the past 5 months but they all want thousands over MSRP here in Dallas.
Drove by the Tesla charging stations at a restaurant parking lot today. We went thru the drive thru, ordered our food, got our food, parked and ate our food, and drove off. Most of the cars were still sitting at their stations being charged. To me, it would be gas, hybrid, or nothing electric.
I had this idea a few years ago, and am glad it's being talked about more. So batteries take forever to charge, how about an exchange program at the charging/old gas stations similar to propane tanks? Mandate that there be just a universal plug in and just a couple battery sizes. The EVs have an easy roll out system to exchange the battery packs. Pull up to a charging station, one or two workers come over, roll your low battery out and install the new one.
@@jcrowellz2000 you can charge batteries pretty quickly now. Goes from nothing to 80% in less than an hour at powerful chargers. Plus if you charge at home you end up spending less time charging than you would on a gas car
They'll _eventually_ move to 800V or 1200V batteries that'll charge faster. Or, they'll go to solid state batteries that'll charge faster. Once they get it under 5 minutes, people won't mind.
I want to buy a new Civic or Corolla. The Toyota and Honda dealers in Tennessee are still playing games. Charging over MSRP . Some will not even give you a price until you come to the dealer. The dealers are still scamming folks.
Go for a Mazda 3 with decent size engine made my Japanese and a real Automatic trans, none of this Turbo or CVT crap that is sure to break down and cost you thousands.
Yea I'll choose a mazda over those two piece of junk , you're only going to buy more to get into a base model vs all the features you actually get for the price on a mazda
I don’t even want to pay msrp vehicles should be sold at maybe 2k above invoice price that’s where I want to be. Dealers can just hold until they decide to come down.
Preach Scotty, I talked to my credit union, they gave me a equity line. She told me their scared about giving car loans. Also car dealerships push the banks to get the loan to sell the cars, but the banks are scared😮.....
@@lajya01 Definitely true. I hate new car dealerships. Used car lots ran by Pete down the road are usually okay places. Bought a ford focus with 160K miles on it and it ran great until I sold it five years later. One year into owning the car, the A/C went out, went back to the dealer and asked them to look at it and they fixed it by replacing the compressor for free. Only paid like 3K for the car. A little high, considering, but the car was in fantastic shape, just a few years old and high mileage but well taken care of. New car dealerships literally just take the money and run, typically. If any problem arises, they try to shove it off on the buyer in any way they can after charging upwards of $5000+ over MSRP.
@@lajya01 nah, at least if we're talking about the central bank---Federal Reserve. But even if we aren't, ipso facto, we don't have free banking; under our current banking system, banks are truly one of the worst things ever conceived.
Until it becomes a monopoly. People will end up wishing for us to go back to dealers. Right now, they're unnecessary. Once there are only one or two U.S. car makers, it'll be different.
The biggest ripoff dealerships will be the first to go belly up. I'll split my gut laughing! They've been screwing people for years, now they are getting screwed by the banks that ate big money last time and are saying "no money for you"!
I see sooo many people driving new vehicles,where I live south Mississippi probably trading them in 😮 Thanks Scotty for all the great information you share I appreciate it!!!!
I learned about that from Dell computers! They told me that "Lifetime Warranty" meant for the "life Cycle" of the computer. I told them that they never said anything of the sort when I purchased the computer and that they should honor our agreement. And they did! But now, I only buy necessities like monitors from them because their quality has gone down tremendously!
I looked up how much a new Toyota Corolla Hybrid was at my local dealership. The MSRP is $24k but they tack on an additional $7k in “accessories.” I wish you could buy directly from the manufacturer. This kind of crap should be illegal.
Lifetime warranties and service are only legally required to cover "lifetime of the product" which is typically 7 years max. One of the first things I learned in my marketing classes in college
Scotty.....i think i will fix up my 2005 suburban with autoride with 265000,i bought for 3400 cash. I will never go to a used or new vehicle dealership ever again!
Well enjoy paying for a lot gas then until you ready to upgrade lol that's why people upgrade to save money on gas and labor cause we all know that gm is just Burning oil at 12 mpg 😂
That’s strange…. Because here in Houston where I wrap cars, some of my clients are having trouble getting their cars and trucks delivered because they are out of stock.
I dont agree with Scotty to not change the CVT fluid after 110k. I bought my Sentra with 93k and the fluid was black and burnt the tranny was also over heating on hill climbs. I changed it and the car was solid for another 65k until a sold it. I am convinced the transmission would have failed if i left it. CVTs are a different animal...
I recently got an synthetic oil change at a Nissan dealership, and saw the price had gone up $20 since the last time I was there. I used a coupon to knock the price down, then after the servicing, the dealership emailed me a customer survey. I said in the survey I won't be coming back for servicing because of the price. The dealership responded by saying they're sorry I wasn't happy. I don't think they care if I come back
You’re absolutely right most car dealers are owned by companies or “family businesses”, but the inventory is controlled and owned by the dealer floorplan, which is a captive lender or other financial institution. this isn’t unheard of, but most of these dealers will be bought out by larger dealers, creating even less small businesses opportunity, and that is really unfortunate for the local economy. Car dealers are becoming more corporate by the year which means lower wages, less benefits and declining customer service
I really don't forsee prices becoming more reasonable for consumers... cars, fuel, groceries, durable goods... nothing. Manufacturers and retailers have found a new high and consumers have been paying those new highs up to this point. They will be slow to lower them if at all. JMO. This "transitory" long-term inflation has been made. Its not going to change.
The dealer labor costs are up to $170 an hour. They take good care of my car, but are so expensive. Wanted an hour labor to replace an O2 Sensor. Showed them a TH-cam short of a guy doing it in 5 Minutes! They lowered the price.
Upon watching one of Scotty's videos on a honda CRV, I decided to go test drive one. It was a wonderful car. It was the base model. The ask was $36k. The salesman told me it was one of only three available in the state of Oregon.
Try a mazda, that base model will get you up 3 trim levels on mazda giving u more features for the money, but if you want less than the honda it is lol
Thanks Scotty for all the great content! However, you are failing to mention about the dealerships service and parts departments which is where they make most of their money. The floor plans do cost but it won't put a dealership out of business. Plus dealerships make money in other ways. Also look at what some used car dealers are starting to do. They are going to focus on short term rentals. This will be a big source of revenue!
@@slowmo0925 I’m against that but higher up want the lots to look empty to charge you more and they don’t have to pay for having inventory on the lot. It’s crazy man
Car manufacturers stated years ago they wanted to get rid of dealerships. They want every aspect of sale to be handled by corporate, including insurance ... that way they can track and monitize all the buyers personal data
@@xdarthpool6463 IDK Igot that info from Autoline Detroit .. they don't candy coat anything come right out and tell you up front how they're going to screw you. They had GM rep on there asked what they plan to do about cars being unaffordable for vast majority of folks -- she basically said IDGAF, let them have stimulus and by used cars.
the EV Market is not going down.....it is the future whether you like it or not. All problems with development will be dealt with just like every technological advancement through ALL OF TIME.
@@mumbolina That's what people said about nuclear, and yet despite the massive advantages, only a few countries have put any meaningful amount of resources into nuclear fission as a source of electricity. edit: I'm not saying that advancements aren't being made, just that the implementation of such technologies is still quite slow. Heck, much of Europe is trying to reduce their use of nuclear power.
@@notisac3149 yep, and would be the most efficient way of charging up the EV. Where is the power going to come from to charge all these eventually gov mandated EVs?
I've heard this kind of story many times over the years and frankly doubt it will ever be a good deal for the consumer. Crooks will be crooks and car dealers make the mob look generous spirited. The dealers will still just hold out and wait. Yes, I realize they have pressure points but it never seems to transpire that real deals will make their way to the consumer.
Thanks for the update on dealerships, always enjoy your hand gestures, I can almost tell what you’re saying with the sound turned off. Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing!
Get rid of the middleman car dealer. Let consumers buy direct from the dealer and just have dealer service centers. Manufacturers would sell more cars this way.
2010 Nissan altima I change the transmission fluid every 60k miles. So far I have changed it 2 times in its life. No issues with engine or transmission. Key is maintenance. I'm at 130,000 miles and still going strong 💪
You are wise. People don't maintain their vehicles and then complain they fail or are "unreliable" I had a Sentra with the same CVT transmission. I changed it every 30k! Also filter and removed pan and cleaned particle magnet. I sold it at 165k and it ran like new
@@petayV8 That's what's up. Too many ppl just drive till it breaks down. Car be lucky to get an oil change once a year. Gotta spend a little on maintenance to save thousands and extend the life of the car. Also will help reach the goal of no car payments for years to come. 2010 paid off in 5 yrs. 8 yrs no payments. Got my money back and more each month it's running. You can get your money if you keep it twice as long of your auto loan
Honda Odyssey Van Gas mileage. We have a 2016. When my wife drives it, she gets about 12 miles per gallon. I get between 22, in town and 28-30 hwy. she idles a lot and drives aggressive. I don’t idle and drive normal. After checking all the mechanics of the mileage, check the driving habits. 😊
@@JuliaJames-zx5xy without his hands in constant motion, his mouth would cease to work. You'd get fifteen minutes straight of him squirming and mumbling.
10mpg! Also check the air intake snorkel after the mass airflow sensor for a HUGE split in it. The crack could hidden underneath and sucking lots of unmetered air causing excessive fuel consumption. This excess, unburned fuel could also ruin your catalytic converters and throw cat inefficiency codes. Buy a new intake if there’s a crack.
I talked to the Optima battery people(I believe they were the owners) at the EAA last year. They said it was goverment lead regulations that forced the move to Mexico.
I work for a large electric utility. Not only do we not make enough electricity, but the grid itself (wires, transformers, substations) can't support a 5% to 10% switch to electric vehicles.
Never.This prices are here to stay and climb even more.Did stuff got cheaper because companies moved in less costly jurisdiction.Of course not.Same will happen here.
Hello Scotty .., with all your respect 🫡 I have to ask you something…, how tha heck you know so much…; I’m subscribed to your channel and try to keep up with the videos you post during the week…. and I can’t understand how you can storage and handle so much information…; I know you have been around for some time…., but Señor.., you are like a computer… so much knowledge condense 😅 in that brain…. But really… thanks for taking your time and sharing all your years of experience….
I have never had a totally honest car salesman. I thought I did once but at the last second I noticed he added $1000 to the total. When I asked what its for he replied nobody ever worries about that. I walked and have never been to a dealership since.
My '14 Odyssey's transmission went on the blink every winter after I changed the fluid at the dealer at 45,000 miles, banging into second gear, fixing itself when I turned the engine off, but it was fine in the summer. I ended up replacing it with a used unit at around 80,000 miles a couple years ago. I flushed the tranny 5000 miles later just to be safe. I'm not changing the fluid again. EVER.
Or the dealership try to charge insane prices for individual cars. My sister and brother-in-law went to Hyundai to look at the Palisade. They tried to get them into a lease for $991 per month... for a Palisade... they got an MDX for $650 per month...
Tbh I didn't know they got loans for cars I just thought they bought it from the manufacturer for a small price cause of bulk and over priced them. You learn something everyday.
Tesla did the math on the "free" electricity for life. They only have a finite number of super charging stations. They calculated how much money it would cost them for each of those to be charging 24/7. They realized the profit made offsets the money lost, and because only a certain amount of drivers can fill their Tesla at any given time, its not like all the Teslas they sell are going to be using the perk. So yes, its free. But no, youll never get to use it unless you want to wait in a 8 hour long line. All by design.

@@jcrowellz2000 Well, then the batteries would be easily accessible and stolen even more than catalytic converters.
@@jcrowellz2000 you can charge batteries pretty quickly now. Goes from nothing to 80% in less than an hour at powerful chargers. Plus if you charge at home you end up spending less time charging than you would on a gas car
@@evilcookiekiller That's still too slow for people accustomed to it taking under 3 minutes with gasoline.
They'll _eventually_ move to 800V or 1200V batteries that'll charge faster. Or, they'll go to solid state batteries that'll charge faster. Once they get it under 5 minutes, people won't mind.
I want to buy a new Civic or Corolla. The Toyota and Honda dealers in Tennessee are still playing games. Charging over MSRP . Some will not even give you a price until you come to the dealer. The dealers are still scamming folks.
Go for a Mazda 3 with decent size engine made my Japanese and a real Automatic trans, none of this Turbo or CVT crap that is sure to break down and cost you thousands.
Yea I'll choose a mazda over those two piece of junk , you're only going to buy more to get into a base model vs all the features you actually get for the price on a mazda
I don’t even want to pay msrp vehicles should be sold at maybe 2k above invoice price that’s where I want to be. Dealers can just hold until they decide to come down.
Preach Scotty,
I talked to my credit union, they gave me a equity line. She told me their scared about giving car loans. Also car dealerships push the banks to get the loan to sell the cars, but the banks are scared😮.....
Banks need to “ grow a pair!” CB
Dealers been screwing people for decades. Time to pay the piper. I love it
"i don't blame the banks" scotty is a rare one to be sure! 😆
Banks might be the lesser of 2 evils against car dealers.
@@lajya01 Definitely true. I hate new car dealerships. Used car lots ran by Pete down the road are usually okay places.
Bought a ford focus with 160K miles on it and it ran great until I sold it five years later. One year into owning the car, the A/C went out, went back to the dealer and asked them to look at it and they fixed it by replacing the compressor for free. Only paid like 3K for the car. A little high, considering, but the car was in fantastic shape, just a few years old and high mileage but well taken care of.
New car dealerships literally just take the money and run, typically. If any problem arises, they try to shove it off on the buyer in any way they can after charging upwards of $5000+ over MSRP.
@@lajya01 nah, at least if we're talking about the central bank---Federal Reserve. But even if we aren't, ipso facto, we don't have free banking; under our current banking system, banks are truly one of the worst things ever conceived.
Scotty is the GOAT
The only car dealers should exist are used car dealers. The best deal you can get is directly from manufacturer by skipping middleman.
Why isn’t this already an option ? It needs to be, wouldn’t create this panic from both the dealers and the buyers.
Until it becomes a monopoly. People will end up wishing for us to go back to dealers. Right now, they're unnecessary. Once there are only one or two U.S. car makers, it'll be different.
Most people still don't want to talk to a used car dealer, either. That's why CarMax and Carvana even exist in the first place.
Keep up the excellent work Scotty!
I'm glad these dealerships are going bankrupt. They been ripping people for years.😊😊😊😊 That's what I think.
I think they are currupt
Because they have to be to make money supply a business friendly environment
For them and we will
See a big difference
👃👍
The biggest ripoff dealerships will be the first to go belly up. I'll split my gut laughing! They've been screwing people for years, now they are getting screwed by the banks that ate big money last time and are saying "no money for you"!
They lobby the government to stay open.
I see sooo many people driving new vehicles,where I live south Mississippi probably trading them in 😮 Thanks Scotty for all the great information you share I appreciate it!!!!
100%
You’ll housing is also way cheaper than Cleveland tn
I learned about that from Dell computers! They told me that "Lifetime Warranty" meant for the "life Cycle" of the computer. I told them that they never said anything of the sort when I purchased the computer and that they should honor our agreement. And they did! But now, I only buy necessities like monitors from them because their quality has gone down tremendously!
7:48 background changes behind Scotty!
Prices of a new cars are true the roof...it will never come back.
Thank Potato Head for this mess.
I looked up how much a new Toyota Corolla Hybrid was at my local dealership. The MSRP is $24k but they tack on an additional $7k in “accessories.”
I wish you could buy directly from the manufacturer. This kind of crap should be illegal.
We the people are sick and tired of being ripped off!
Screw dealers...last car was a private sale and worked out great.
But where did that buyer get it 1st?
@@albinogator6221 It was his own car..bought new.
If you have the cash.
@@oreally8605 Yea cash is the way but some lenders can do a private sale.
Lifetime warranties and service are only legally required to cover "lifetime of the product" which is typically 7 years max.

I wants to get me one of those 1990's Toyota Tacomas you had on video today. Two wheel drive, 4 cylinder. Perfect.
You can still get them, but it's going to cost you. Agree though, i think the 4wd 5 speeds were perfect
Scotty.....i think i will fix up my 2005 suburban with autoride with 265000,i bought for 3400 cash. I will never go to a used or new vehicle dealership ever again!
Well enjoy paying for a lot gas then until you ready to upgrade lol that's why people upgrade to save money on gas and labor cause we all know that gm is just Burning oil at 12 mpg 😂
After 70 something years of sleazy car dealership practices it's about time they got theirs.
That’s a fact, I’m a former Ford employee in St Paul MN, UAW got rid of us and sent our jobs to Mexico
They don't go on strike in Mexico.
Obviously!
I hate that. Why aren't more people staying in Mexico since so many of our US jobs are going down there (or already exist down there)?🤷
That’s strange…. Because here in Houston where I wrap cars, some of my clients are having trouble getting their cars and trucks delivered because they are out of stock.
Hoarded supply plain and simple. The De Beers model.
I dont agree with Scotty to not change the CVT fluid after 110k. I bought my Sentra with 93k and the fluid was black and burnt the tranny was also over heating on hill climbs. I changed it and the car was solid for another 65k until a sold it. I am convinced the transmission would have failed if i left it. CVTs are a different animal...
I think he is talking about flushes which can dislodge some gunk and mess things up. Drain and fill only.
Exactly.
He doesn't like full on flushes.
Oh gotcha
Dealers going bankrupt? I can't think of many others that DESERVE it more!
Dealerships = stealerships
Attorneys and government employees. CB
I recently got an synthetic oil change at a Nissan dealership, and saw the price had gone up $20 since the last time I was there. I used a coupon to knock the price down, then after the servicing, the dealership emailed me a customer survey. I said in the survey I won't be coming back for servicing because of the price. The dealership responded by saying they're sorry I wasn't happy. I don't think they care if I come back
They dont.
Their motto is from PT Barnum: ‘There’s a sucker born every minute.’
You’re absolutely right most car dealers are owned by companies or “family businesses”, but the inventory is controlled and owned by the dealer floorplan, which is a captive lender or other financial institution. this isn’t unheard of, but most of these dealers will be bought out by larger dealers, creating even less small businesses opportunity, and that is really unfortunate for the local economy. Car dealers are becoming more corporate by the year which means lower wages, less benefits and declining customer service
Good start
I really don't forsee prices becoming more reasonable for consumers... cars, fuel, groceries, durable goods... nothing.
Manufacturers and retailers have found a new high and consumers have been paying those new highs up to this point. They will be slow to lower them if at all. JMO.
This "transitory" long-term inflation has been made. Its not going to change.
Agree.Once the prices goes up it si never going to be reversed.
The dealer labor costs are up to $170 an hour.
They take good care of my car, but are so expensive.
Wanted an hour labor to replace an O2 Sensor.
Showed them a TH-cam short of a guy doing it in 5 Minutes! They lowered the price.
Use a private mechanic
@@jackanderson2773 Yeah, but then no loaner car or work guaranteed… But yeah, good point.
Upon watching one of Scotty's videos on a honda CRV, I decided to go test drive one. It was a wonderful car. It was the base model. The ask was $36k. The salesman told me it was one of only three available in the state of Oregon.
Try a mazda, that base model will get you up 3 trim levels on mazda giving u more features for the money, but if you want less than the honda it is lol

@cormaro 13 I don't like the way they look, or most Nissans either.
Thanks Scotty for all the great content! However, you are failing to mention about the dealerships service and parts departments which is where they make most of their money. The floor plans do cost but it won't put a dealership out of business. Plus dealerships make money in other ways. Also look at what some used car dealers are starting to do. They are going to focus on short term rentals. This will be a big source of revenue!
I can confirm this as I work for Toyota and let me tell you these 2 months have been the worst. Better start job hunting 😂
If they raise prices even more that might help.
@@slowmo0925 I’m against that but higher up want the lots to look empty to charge you more and they don’t have to pay for having inventory on the lot. It’s crazy man
@@nissanzenkiboy It is crazy.Well, untill people buying with inflated prices this will go on,for sure.
@@slowmo0925 💯 exactly!
Car manufacturers stated years ago they wanted to get rid of dealerships.
They want every aspect of sale to be handled by corporate, including insurance ... that way they can track and monitize all the buyers personal data
or they want people to pay the msrp without having to deal with markups. Dealerships been doing this since the beginning of time.
@@xdarthpool6463 IDK Igot that info from Autoline Detroit .. they don't candy coat anything come right out and tell you up front how they're going to screw you.
They had GM rep on there asked what they plan to do about cars being unaffordable for vast majority of folks -- she basically said IDGAF, let them have stimulus and by used cars.
Good, then we can go back to Little House on the Prairie pulling Horses with Wagons. 1885! Amazing!
I believe the EV market is going under. Dealers have been ripping customers off for decades.
the EV Market is not going down.....it is the future whether you like it or not. All problems with development will be dealt with just like every technological advancement through ALL OF TIME.

I've heard this kind of story many times over the years and frankly doubt it will ever be a good deal for the consumer. Crooks will be crooks and car dealers make the mob look generous spirited. The dealers will still just hold out and wait. Yes, I realize they have pressure points but it never seems to transpire that real deals will make their way to the consumer.
Thanks for the update on dealerships, always enjoy your hand gestures, I can almost tell what you’re saying with the sound turned off.

Hello Scoty, thanks for the information you give out
Get rid of the middleman car dealer. Let consumers buy direct from the dealer and just have dealer service centers. Manufacturers would sell more cars this way.
2010 Nissan altima
I change the transmission fluid every 60k miles. So far I have changed it 2 times in its life.
No issues with engine or transmission.
Key is maintenance.
I'm at 130,000 miles and still going strong 💪
Key is italian tuneup with some techron in the gas tank after every other oil change ;)
You are wise. People don't maintain their vehicles and then complain they fail or are "unreliable"
I had a Sentra with the same CVT transmission. I changed it every 30k! Also filter and removed pan and cleaned particle magnet. I sold it at 165k and it ran like new
@@petayV8
That's what's up.
Too many ppl just drive till it breaks down. Car be lucky to get an oil change once a year.
Gotta spend a little on maintenance to save thousands and extend the life of the car.
Also will help reach the goal of no car payments for years to come.

Everywhere I look in my South Texas area I see huge new dealership being built 🤷♂️.

I haven’t seen that yet here, hopefully some sanity will come out of this.
10mpg! Also check the air intake snorkel after the mass airflow sensor for a HUGE split in it. The crack could hidden underneath and sucking lots of unmetered air causing excessive fuel consumption. This excess, unburned fuel could also ruin your catalytic converters and throw cat inefficiency codes. Buy a new intake if there’s a crack.
Here is a solution; Allow individuals to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Why do we need these middle men (dealerships) again?
I talked to the Optima battery people(I believe they were the owners) at the EAA last year. They said it was goverment lead regulations that forced the move to Mexico.
Woah that’s very interesting thanks for sharing
I work for a large electric utility. Not only do we not make enough electricity, but the grid itself (wires, transformers, substations) can't support a 5% to 10% switch to electric vehicles.
So if all the dealerships disappear and all new cars are factory direct to customer transactions do you think the MSRP will be lowered...NOT LIOKELY!
Never.This prices are here to stay and climb even more.Did stuff got cheaper because companies moved in less costly jurisdiction.Of course not.Same will happen here.
Not with gas so hi. Always a reason to cost more.. just make OIL and keep dealerships open!! Simple!!!
Love it ! I’ve seen a lot of dealers scamming buyers with high profit additional MARKUPS
i dont see any deals.......sky high prices still

Out here in so cal there aren't any "deals". Dealers still have ridiculous markups and high inters rates.
I have never had a totally honest car salesman. I thought I did once but at the last second I noticed he added $1000 to the total. When I asked what its for he replied nobody ever worries about that. I walked and have never been to a dealership since.
Lol wtf sounds like he was a bad salesman I’m alwyss relaxed with clients
I know a lot about cars and this guy has never been wrong about one thing
Kinda of hard for us to buy anything when we are getting the crap kicked out of us financially but hey, no more mean tweets right? Right?
My '14 Odyssey's transmission went on the blink every winter after I changed the fluid at the dealer at 45,000 miles, banging into second gear, fixing itself when I turned the engine off, but it was fine in the summer. I ended up replacing it with a used unit at around 80,000 miles a couple years ago. I flushed the tranny 5000 miles later just to be safe. I'm not changing the fluid again. EVER.
The fact that dealerships even exist is wild---because they cried to the giverment

Or the dealership try to charge insane prices for individual cars. My sister and brother-in-law went to Hyundai to look at the Palisade. They tried to get them into a lease for $991 per month... for a Palisade... they got an MDX for $650 per month...
I think i missed the message about the deal somewhere 😮
Tbh I didn't know they got loans for cars I just thought they bought it from the manufacturer for a small price cause of bulk and over priced them. You learn something everyday.
Tesla did the math on the "free" electricity for life. They only have a finite number of super charging stations. They calculated how much money it would cost them for each of those to be charging 24/7. They realized the profit made offsets the money lost, and because only a certain amount of drivers can fill their Tesla at any given time, its not like all the Teslas they sell are going to be using the perk. So yes, its free. But no, youll never get to use it unless you want to wait in a 8 hour long line. All by design.
