This was posted elsewhere but it’s relevant to mention the US already stated it would sell inferior versions of jets. Im sure these countries realised the current US mentality of “why stop there” and will probably cost cut further - lesser quality munitions and firearms, land vehicles, specialty fuels, etc.

Also in the face of tariffs and regular insults, being less inclined to purchase from someone increasingly hostile to them. This isn’t “out of the blue”, it’s the response step.

Mourn the loss of historical vehicles, but blame the people who threw them to be destroyed.

They don’t have to process customers if they’re fulfilling “a dealership in the US has asked for 5 of our triple motors in red” They’re filing a transfer and then listing it as if “we sold 5 cars” to bump numbers

That’s what I’m asking if they can do, illicit, to try and make it look like they’re making sales

Could they be inflating it using internarional order fulfillment/ shuffling cars to other dealerships? A dealership in idk India wants a Model X with a specific trim and motors, so they pack and ship,and count it as sold from these 4 Canadian inventories? Also moving them to the US for sales since they’re not selling well internationally?

Haha DINO

A vehicle (according to their website) that is 61k base, 81k for awd (2024) and 81k base (2025) to 101k (loaded) is 10% or less of a discount. If it’s a sliding scale and you don’t get that “up to” 6k unless Loaded, that is barely over 5%.

Maybe videogame economies have spoiled my idea of “discounts” and pricing of real items but “priced to sell” means better than hearing 95% of normal. I couldn’t say what dealers actually call fair when it comes to actually selling cars in this bracket for a profit but 25% might get sales moving again. (It works for home appliances, why not cars?).

It’s an ouroborus - a self feeding problem that will always be able to Boogeyman the problem it caused. Those employees will then be painted as wasting money by tying up courts for settlements, decried like the McDonald’s coffee incident all over again.
