I believe that you got a bug up your bottom because you drove a couple hours to look at EV cars and you were not happy with the dealership pricing. And because of this you believe that there should be legislation to dictate how cars are advertised. I hope that you realize that this position is very liberal and it’s exactly why we have so many stupid regulations. It’s always because someone was offended or upset because life is not fair and the government sees to make it more fair. Here’s a little clue about the American system based on our constitution and Declaration of Independence… Life. Liberty. And the Pursuit of happiness. The government’s job is not to guarantee outcome. The government’s job is to guarantee the opportunity. The rest is up to the individual. Wise Up Buttercup. |

I have the solution.
Everyone pays the same price for the same car. Everyone has only one car choice, I think this was done in a country in europe in the 1930s. The mileage estimate may not matter, as you have no other options. The mileage estimate may be wrong, but who cares, everyone gets screwed equally. I am trying very hard to be a socialist. |

GrandsportC3 is in heaven with this thread, you can be sure. If it were to disappear he would have nothing to look forward to each day except a case of soda and 5 or 6 hot meals.

Doing such is a HUGE DEPARTURE from capitalism. The gov sets rules, businesses follow the rules, when they do not they pay a price, to the extent they may go out of business. If you do not like the system of rule, get elected and move to dc. While no system is perfect, ours is most perfect for me. |

Hell even as kids we knew this. I remember the days of dealership ads in the newspapers before the internet. You’d see a car price and it almost always had the asterisk. Everyone knew “good luck buying for that price”. |

On the plus side, if you go to Wendy's duing the lunch rush you won't have to wait as long for your food because all the people who are butthurt about congestion pricing will all be eating at Burker King. |

This is going well. Has GSC3 posted a link to the “fine print” advertising he detests and wants regulated?
No? Huh, imagine that. |

Let me see if I have this straight: If a person is of "Low IQ", the government should somehow prevent people with higher IQs from making more money on a deal, entered into willingly by both parties, with a lower IQ person than someone of the same IQ level?
Where does that end, what are the limits? I like to think I have an "above average" IQ, so say mine is 105. The government is expected to prevent someone with a 150 IQ from making more money off of me than someone with an IQ of 130? Are people with 120 IQs supposed to have some sort of government "guardian angel" to protect them from the 150 IQ folks? What if my IQ is 125, and the sellers is 130, what happens then? Maybe it sounds sad, but the reality is that no one can save someone from themselves, and stupid SHOULD hurt. To say NOTHING of experience, which is a great teacher. I have been trading options for almost 30 years, and one of the lessons I learned in my first year was "when you make a stupid trade, there will ALWAYS be a smarter and/or more experienced trader there who is happy to take your money". Did I ever bitch that the government should have stepped in to prevent that? No. |

Actually, loyalty rewards are fantastic. I would have a problem if they would take the loyalty rebate off all advertised cars and when you agree to purchase the vehicle, it removes the loyalty discount if you are not already a Tesla owner. That would be misleading and sleazy.

I know many of you have been worried about how we'll be able to generate enough electricity to charge all the EVs. Well you can relax - Bill Gates to the rescue!
