Yes, Tesla was probably the first manufacturer to do this and honestly I haven't heard any complaints. People are fine with paying what they believe to be a fair price because everyone is paying the same price - it just makes sense. Don't like the price or can't afford it? Find another car. I'm sure all these other electric vehicle manufacturers that are due to come to the market soon will follow the same suit.
Don't get me started on Ford and GM. They were "threatening" their dealers to get rid off the markups by cutting off their ordering power. Why? Because apparently it was hurting their stock prices and bottom line. Otherwise they wouldn't give a crap. As far as I know, Ford and GM hasn't done a thing and their dealers are still charging markup.
Here's another thing I realized. All these dealerships are blaming the chip shortage and supply chain issues, but they are strategically placing their markups on the cars that have a high sale volume. Hypocrisy.
