Discounts

$7,000 - $9,000 discounts on the new Jeep Gladiator pick-ups. I don't think we'll see this on the Cybertruck.

Aren't these the same ones that were going for that much over, just a few months ago?

I like Jeeps. But boy does this thing look fugly in person. The proportions are wrong. The soft top looks like hell when folded back. I was surprised that people were paying $20k over list.

Why the hell did I open this *sugar*?
Look, the very least your OP butt could do would be to put the name of a non-tesla vehicle in the title so we don't waste out damn time.
No one here gives *sugar* what jeep did to whatever.

Of course there's no discounts on Cybertruck. They won't be available for 2+ years, there's a half-million people in line willing to pay full price, at-list demand clearly extends beyond 4 years of production, and there's only one place which will sell them. There's no incentive to discount.

Hence yet another reason the "dealer model" is problematic: manufacturer doesn't sell directly, you have to buy thru a no-value-added third party who marks up the price so much that a $9,000 "discount" STILL gets them a fat profit.

Paying $40+k for a rattle trap vehicle with high rollover, no performance, horrible safety and terrible gas mileage must be a Jeep thing I don’t understand

It's practically a trademarked phrase: "It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand".
