Well not as much as others. Someone who sells Leaf MSRP is making twice the money Rairdon makes. If you leave out the costs it is even more.
I think of every extra dollar we give a dealership as subsidizing the gas guzzler sitting on that lot
Yes, but this is like the "Lemonade" game. If you price your lemonade at $1 a glass, you will make more on one glass than someone selling their lemonade for 50 cents, BUT you will sell a lot fewer glasses at a buck than at 50 cents, so the person selling their lemonade for 50 cents will profit much more. Yes, someone who sells at MSRP will make more money on the transaction, BUT how many will they get compared to someone selling below MSRP? So even though some dealers are selling below MSRP, I will guarantee you that they will make more Total money than the ones at MSRP because they will sell many more.
I played "Lemonade" on a comp when it came out (awhile ago) and the first time I tried selling it for 25 cents, I went out of business. I finally hit upon 10 cents and it became very profitable.
