Tesla had a big advantage because they never had dealers. Many states have laws banning online sales once dealerships are established.

  I wonder if maybe they're preparing to fully spin off the EV models into its own corporation for this exact reason: https://chargedevs.com/newswire/ford-to-spin-off-its-evs-into-separate-model-e-business-unit/ https://chargedevs.com/newswire/ford-to-spin-off-its-evs-int...

    Does the law apply to a business unit? I’d expect it to require a new company.

      It would. I'm saying they might have split the company into separate units in order to make it easier to spin off a new corporation.
