'Member when YouTube TV was $35/mo? Now it's around $83 I think

In the USA taxes and titling cost different amounts depending on where you live. It's easier to calculate once you buy, especially if you are buying in another state than the one you reside in which is a big problem in my state where dealers don't stock EVs. I had to go to the nearest large city which is in another state from where I reside to get my Bolt EUV.

You can calculate before you buy and each state usually has at least a chart to ballpark what you'll pay. The easiest way to calculate these taxes would be to not levy them against people to begin with.

Advertising cars would never be feasible on nationally broadcast TV under your system.

They did figure out the problem though. Price set by the manufacture, show cost for delivery on the window sticker, then when you buy they car the title and tax are figured out for where you live. It's the fairest and easiest way of showing and figuring the price. If you can't figure out that window stickers are available online and the tax and title yourself before you buy, that's a you problem. It's not on the seller nor the manufacturer to post pricing for every state or municipality.

If you want cleaner pricing, demand an end to titling and car taxes.

Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?

I've heard enough other horror stories to know not to publish anything under the MIT license. Granted they are different, but what happened to BSD should be enough deterrent to not use those types of licenses.

bullshit fee

Do you think shipping and transportation of goods is free? Do you think truck drivers drive stuff around out of the goodness of their hearts?

That's my takeaway even after reading the article. MIT license bad.

If it waives the destination fee, then I don't see it as a bad problem depending on how much it would normally cost to deliver vs how many miles.

Sounds like his request for having them in an exhibit was denied

I wish I had moved to Linux sooner. I was in IT at the time and only saw windows and OSX in the wild. Servers were all windows except for one xserve. I still to this day have no idea what that server did for that customer. My only real experience with Linux at that time was FreePBX when setting up phone systems for offices.

I put OSX on mine. A $200 Macbook mini was a cool project and a neat conversation piece.
