some people want to kill the electric car
- Aqueous 13y agodon't think it's about being against the electric car, but against a world where car dealerships are unnecessary. car dealerships will eventually go the way of the book store. they don't want a world in which they aren't the very profitable middle men between the consumer and the manufacturer. tesla's direct consumer sales threatens their existence, so they want nothing to do with it.
- jokoon 13y agoSo basically the law mandates that salesmen are not out of work. Brilliant.
- marvin 13y agoThe dealerships in Texas don't really care about Tesla, they're just afraid that other car manufacturers will follow suit and undercut their business model.
