- scarmig 8y agoSolely on the fact that they present an imagined "cost of ownership" as the price, yes. It's deceptive enough--and 90% of people who saw that page would say that the costs of the cars are what's listed on the right column, which makes it deceptive--that it leaves a wildly unpleasant taste in my mouth. And, in my case, it's not even close to accurate: I don't own a car right now, and any purchase would be because I actively like a particular car. The "savings on gas" is a total lie, because I'll be spending nothing on gas anyway.
- goshx 8y agoI find it annoying too, but it takes seconds to realize that’s not the actual price and the price is right there on the bottom. And you can’t really not understand what the real price is before placing the order. It’s not an imagined cost of ownership for me, an actual owner, who just got $7,500 back and pay $7 for 300mi.
- goshx 8y agoYou’d pay for gas if you purchased an ICE instead. This is not a savings compared agaisnt what you did in the past.
