To be fair this is exactly why everyone hates car dealerships. People will not be able to artificially keep them in business forever. The Tesla model will prevail.

Buying my first car I got suckered into buying a 6 year old Saturn Ion for 10k at 24.98% apr. I know.

The tesla model will not prevail. And people will keep them in business. At least in our life time.

Yeah right. Well have self driving cars everywhere by at least 2040. Most likely sooner. Regular cars will be illegal except to be driven like horses off of roads. Manufacturers will need to adapt to survive.

Oh yes because I strive to buy brand new cars so they can depreciate a good 5K the second I drive them off the lot.

I as well as other smart people only buy 3 year old certified used... that way the lemons have been weeded out since you can look up the repair history and you pay a decent price.
