Every other car manufacturer with no dealerships.
These laws originally made sense for car manufacturers that first completely delegated selling and service to dealerships and then tried to undercut them with factory discounts and other things.
The problem here is that Tesla never had any dealerships and does not intent to start any either. So none of these laws should apply to them.
- protomyth 14y agoPlay by the same rules as everyone else and get some dealerships or work to change the rules for everyone. Anything else is just one more rule piled onto a stack that has more "my" exceptions. > Every other car manufacturer with no dealerships. The proposed law doesn't say anything like that.
- revelation 14y agoWhat? Of course it doesn't say anything like that. That was obviously an extension of your statement; enabling any car manufacturer to sell directly to customers would be a diametral opposite to what dealership laws intended in the first place, and my comment was supposed to inform you that there is indeed a little sparkle of sense and justification in dealership laws. But you obviously lack any insight into the topic at hand and are just feeding off your "more exceptions!11" reflex. That does not a good discussion make.
- protomyth 14y ago> That was obviously an extension of your statement I didn't find it that obvious of an extension. If there is a "little sparkle of sense and justification in dealership laws" then the same argument should apply to Tesla and the only justification you give is that they don't currently have dealerships.
