>ad spendings are included in the prices of consumer products

No ads and no price haggling are big reasons why Tesla is so popular.




Apple too

Also, the lack of options. It's much easier to buy from Apple or Tesla (even though I don't use any Apple products except a Mac Mini), simply because the number of options are less. At this point, I don't know the difference between a Vostro, a Latitude and an XPS.


I don't know where you live, but in France there are plenty of Apple ads. Some are run by third parties ( e.g. telecoms advertising you can get the latest iPhone with them, mostly in the form of a huge Apple ad with a small logo of the operator actually advertising ) but most are not.


Exactly. During holiday season half of ads are for Apple.


Doubt.
