    How can anyone complain about a $10k dealer markup in 2022 when tesla had the exact same thing, just from them directly. They cranked up the price in 2022, and dropped it back down in 2023. It’s the same thing, just going in to a different pocket.

      I agree that in both cases, it is just the company rationally responding to supply and demand.

      But there is a huge difference in that Tesla is completely upfront and shows you the total price at all times, while dealerships will lie straight to your face, waste your time, and pull all kinds of bullshit moves to try and jack up the price. I was livid at how my Bolt purchase went at a Chevy dealer. No respect or integrity.
