Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout - Lemmy.World

Dealers will cry about their inventory while refusing to budge on various “market adjustments”.

Boo hoo. Be competitive and watch the inventory flow.

I’ve been eyeing an Ioniq 5 for about 18 months now and just checked local pricing again and they haven’t budged an inch on pricing (even now with 2024 models being sold with 2023 models left on the lot) nor are they even carrying inventory outside of the most expensive trim packages of Limited AWD. I’m interested in range, so I’m wanting a Limited RWD but they aren’t being stocked.

This article screams “I’m not doing my job and it’s all your fault!”

The dealer near me has added an extra 5 grand for market adjustment too.

Yeah, dealers around here have a huge markup over MSRP, “because there’s so much demand.”

Okay, I can wait.
