    Also governments are trying hard to phase out internal combustion anything...specifically trucks no matter what size and what manufacturer...tesla and the other traitors can keep their electric junk.

    I’ve been charging dealers $80 to make me an offer on my truck. So far I’ve made $320 and have accepted no offers so far!

    In 1633 Galileo was charged with heresy for advocating Copernican theory, which had the audacity to state that the earth revolved around the sun. He died under house arrest, and it took over 300 years for the Papal powers of the era to admit he was right and clear his name. In the early 1900s when cars first began gaining traction in the US, someone in Glencoe Ill stretched a steel cable across the road in an effort to "stop the devil wagons". Scientific and technological advances that have the potential to change existing norms and power structures are often met with this type of resistance. History is replete with examples of how the passage of time gives a different perspective, and we should all try not to dismiss new ideas offhand just because they are different. Today's radical ideas may be the norm 25 or 50 years from now. The only constant is that things will change, and yes, that includes having dealerships with stock again some day! :)

    Is the Tesla so advanced that it can be offended by a difference in opinion?

    The Tesla like most EVs need more mirco chips to function. I can't see how EVs can help the current chip shortage.

    Tesla made and sold 2x as many cars in the last 3 months as it did last year. Yet somehow everyone else is down

    And Tycho Brahe died when his bladder burst. He was attending a party and in his day it was considered improper to excuse ones self during festivities so he held it until it burst. People are funny.

    Every week another pointless "OMG THERE ARE NO TACOMAS THEY ARE WORTH 50K WITH 200K MILES" thread. Getting old. Prices are going to stabilize sooner than later. The pool of impatient people with too much money is shrinking daily.

    Don't forget the "my local dealer is offering for this price threads, how did you get it for MSRP?"

    There is literally a Toyota dealer every 20-30 miles on each coast, shop around, be a little open minded to options and fly in or travel to pick up.

    That or wait 2-3 months... It WILL be better, no this won't last forever, because money for now is no longer printed at this rapid pace. Toyota very publicly stated that they reduced production by 40% in september. So obviously that will impact tail end of sep+early October. They still sold MORE tacomas this year vs the last and on track to sell as many as they did in 2019 before covid hit.

    This isn't a life or death sitch. A smart consumer would wait it out...

    TW is just amazing in so many ways. The world's leading economists can't predict when supply chains will normalize for particular industry sectors with any sort of certainty, but people on TW know!
