With Tesla you pay MSRP. With any other car you pay MSRP plus whatever the dealer wants to charge. I sincerely doubt that OP was referring to MSRP profit margin.

That's obviously not true. I've never paid MSRP for a car and I've never bought a Tesla.

With Teslas, you pay MSRP. With any other car you pay whatever the dealer wants to charge, which is usually dealer cost plus some markup, which is usually less than MSRP. On some rare occasions you can even buy a car for at or below dealer cost.

You obviously haven't tried to buy a car during the pandemic.
