My goal was not to quantify anything - nor provide you with any answers except to the question about why would someone downvote a comment that asks "What so bad about distributing Tesla vehicles through a dealership franchise?" To some people - like myself who have had universally horrific and expensive experiences with dealerships (and in my case the much better, cheaper, and competent experiences with non-dealer mechanics, and used car salesmen of all people.) dealers are bad and their existence should not be propagated. They are bad enough that I could easily downvote the question on that alone (without the political angle which lucio summed up nicely) if I was fast with the downvote button. Explaining that and that alone was my goal - and one it looks like I failed at.
