When I hear about Tesla not being able to sell directly to customers, and have to go through dealer, I always wondered why different corporate structure can not be created, where some head company owns Tesla and all dealerships used to sell Tesla cars? This way it is not manufacturer selling these and control of the distribution is still within parent organization.
- ceejayoz 12y agoIIRC in many states dealerships are required to have independent ownership from the manufacturer and no individual/company can own more than one.
- hippich 12y agoIs there some sort of test tho? I.e. what I was proposing - dealearship could be separate company and owned by head corporation, which in turn owns Tesla itself. So dealership is separate entity and not directly controlled by Tesla.
