Zero pity for car dealers and that’s not even including my “market adjustment”.
One of the most contrived examples is the fake metric MPGe. For example, according to the federal govt my EV gets 114 MPGe combined city/hwy. So the car makers making EV's get to average that sky high fake 114 MPG into their fleet average to meet the CAFE standards.
I'm not slamming EV's from a free market perspective. Our EV car meets our needs and wants and saves us tons of gas (we drive a lot of miles, a necessary characteristic to make owning an EV worth it in the end). We also like our ICE pickup for what it brings to the table. But I have a real problem with the government twisting every regulation imaginable to force EV's onto people who have no need for them.
I had “zero pity” for the car dealer I bought my last new car from 2 1/2 years ago. I got such a great deal that the car is still worth what I paid for it.
That’s the first time THAT ever happened.
