It's not really "their dealerships". A car dealer is an independently owned franchise. None are owned by the car manufacture.
Of course, the manufacturer can say "we will give you $x off your car purchase if you let us use your lot" but the reality is the dealership can just tell them to take a hike.
Also, manufacturers lease to rental car companies. So that is an option as well. I can imagine Enterprise having unrented cars in a lot that switch to robotaxis...
