You may have your choice of oligarchs to buy your car from, but what they will never allow you is the choice to compete with them on a level playing field. A cartel can allow internal competition, but they will all cooperate to crush upstarts. It's government that interferes with competition, not "oligarchs" or "cartels." Otherwise I could buy a Chinese EV. The only way the "oligarchs" and the "cartels" can interfere with my decision is by using their wealth to capture and subvert the government. Again: the problem is the power.
