There is no competition to be had. The dealerships aren't scared of competition from Tesla, especially since the price of a Tesla Model S is out of range for the majority of car buyers. What they are scared of is that Tesla sets a precedence for other manufacturers to follow suit which would then put a lot of people out of work.

- talmand 14y agoWhat you say is true, but I think it supports my statement. It's the dealerships themselves that have to compete with the business model, not necessarily the automakers. The dealers have to show to the automakers that their method is better or they fail.

No. What they're afraid of is that Tesla sets a precedence for other manufacturers to follow suit which would then move revenue out of the dealer's reach. Or: It's not about jobs, it's about money.
