I checked the website it’s actually $45k sticker price in the US.
The $30k price is with the $1k discount mentioned plus the “Include est. incentives of $7,500 and 5-year gas savings of $6,000” check box the Tesla site has.
I understand what they’re trying to do - bring attention to total cost of ownership and the price disparity between petrol and electricity. It’s clearly marked and impossible to miss when you’re on the website speccing out a car, so it’s maybe a little initially deceptive, but not scummy imo. But it also leads to screenshots like this…
It’s $30k in the US?.. I’d be looking at 43k€-ish here ($47k)… Corolla is even more…

What the fuck is this scummy marketing bullshit?

My friend, if you don’t think that’s scummy then I think you’re a little bit too acclimated to marketing scams.
Well they’re made here so it stands to reason they’d be a bit cheaper. No clue about the corolla tho
Mine would be made in Germany if I bought it. I think it’s more a matter of taxes/lobbying and all that, all cars are more expensive here.
Its sometimes cheaper to get a bmw or a mercedes from the us back to europe then to buy it here in the first place.

TIL Tesla has a factory (factories?) In Germany. My mistake.
You also have TUV. Germans are… special.
