Well, he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else on the planet possibly, so he can't be wrong... /S

No, you get it, you're just being a troll

For a lifetime? Sure. In what fucking planet is his "income" enough for a lifetime?

Firstly, if you sell assets, it's not fucking income.

Secondly, the amount of money you made more than the average person doesn't count for shit. if you make 1000x more than the average Zimbabwean does, that wouldn't be enough for a lifetime. Of the 30% of Zimbabwes employed workforce, they make 250 dollars a month. Do the math on the average income per person (16,000,000)in Zimbabwe, that's around 75usd per person per month. That's 900 USD per annum, and 900k if you made 1000 times more than them. Now, show me where 900k is enough for a lifetime? No, 1 better, show me where 900k, after the sale of assets, that you had to buy with money at some stage, is enough for a lifetime.

This is some tiktok accounting for sure. You should get a job at DOGE. Because they all claim to be good with numbers, and then make shit up like this. How the FAQ do you budget at home?

You're being an ass. Income is not income. In fact, the sale of bonds and stocks is definitely not income, it's the sale of an asset.

So, if I bought a car in 2020, and sold it in 2025, is that now purely income for me in 2025?

If you want to be finicky and count the sale of assets as income, you must subtract the original purchase price of that asset, and then the profit (or losses) from the sale can be regarded as income (or losses).

So stop being an ass. Everyone knows the sale of an asset is not income.

40k? In USD or in Warhammer? Cause that's a shite ton of money for college.

What did you study btw?

Also, I am great full to live in a shit hole country right now given that bill

Steepest drop in 5 years, so far...

Too lazy to make the meme. But y'all know

No, you're wrong here. Tldr, its way more expensive to have an unsold vehicle on the lot floor.

So, I understand it's not an independent dealership, but it's a dealership. So, let's assume there is a $50k Tesla on the floor of the dealership, given Tesla's slim margins, it probably cost Tesla somewhere around $45k to manufacture. As with most businesses like this, a significant portion of the vehicle manufacturing costs is done using credit, and settled once the vehicle is sold. So let's assume it's 50% and $22k is from a loan (it's higher, but I don't know what that number is). They pay interest on that loan until they have made enough money from the sale of the vehicle. They pay insurance every month on the vehicle, while it stands there gathering dust. They pay staff, to operate the dealership, with no sales. It's a crisis!

Now, assume someone burns the car. Your insurance pays out for the car, the building repairs, and any (made up) operating losses from not being able to trade. Tesla makes money back, settles the loan, no more interest. Cash liquidity looks better and you can pay staff and operating costs at the dealership. Tesla also gets to tell investors that they "shipped" another Tesla.

Now, you may be thinking, but what about the insurance premiums. Yes, you burned a few cars. Of the thousands that are insured by Tesla. Insurance premiums may go up a dollar or so per car, but this is the power of underwriting risk, is that any single incident which may leave you shit out of luck, actually becomes really manageable by comparison.

Unless the cars aren't insured, in which case it's a crisis.

Also, if the vehicle is discounted to significantly below cost and sold, they stop the cash bleed, but there is a loss, and we can call it community service for being Nazis.

Don't burn dealership (or sales outlets or whatever the fuck they call themselves), don't burn their cars!

Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don't blow up or damage Tesla's at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can't sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can't sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can't sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.

Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That's the real way to fuck em.

Wait, so when it was destroying other people's lives, that was fine, but now that it's your life, you wanna be a bitch?

Let me help you here dear trump voter... Fuck you, you deserve it.

Yeah, I know. It was just a joke

I really thought you were being down voted for an obviously sarcastic comment. Read your post history and then realised that you haven't been downvoted enough. So let me help with that

And those who don't pay should be terminated! #pro-life #freedom #patriot #jesus
