It's still ridiculous that cars have to be titled out of state first and then transferred to Michigan and that service has to be under a subsidiary, but a win is a win.
This is great news. What it demonstrates to me is that Tesla won’t give up a fight easily and capitulate. Bravo!
I have mixed feelings about this. I think Tesla's push for direct sales and service is anti-consumer. But having a crap service 10 miles away is better than getting crap service 50+ miles away.
There certainly are two sides to this story, for sure.
But as long as Tesla allows third parties to service Teslas (by actually selling third party mechanics the needed parts), then I don't have too much of a problem with them eliminating the whole stealership... er... dealership model. That's a huge "but," though, as Tesla has shown no interest in selling parts to third party repair shops... at least, so far. I'm hoping that that's due to the fact that they just simply haven't had the production capacity to keep up with their own spare parts needs, and that as more capacity comes online, they'll open up the doors.
We'll see.

Agreed.
It's only bureaucratic paperwork but an owner no longer has to physically leave Michigan to buy and register a Tesla.
its about time! can't wait to find out the true details. I never had to title my car out of state before coming to Michigan, that is a very confusing statement in the article. I'm guessing they will still continue to make the buyer go to the secretary of state to get the title vs. doing it all at the Tesla Store.
This is the third thread I've seen on this,

No I financed at 1.49% 72 month via Tesla/ Chase. Inventory car. New sort of
. It took a while(month and a half). Two guys from an enclosed trucking company had a Ferrari and Ford GT. Came from Texas were the car was, and the two guys drove non stop. I did pay for delivery, but that was and still is standard for cars in inventory.Tesla did this with the S many times here in Michigan early on. I think it is still done in Texas. Especially on sales push to get cars financed and sold. It did happen for a few 3 customers, again for a push. Then went Chicago or Lyndhurst as the hub and spoke model works better.

The new agreement allows you to do your trade in and pick up in Michigan. The gallery employees can also assist you with all the paperwork which gets processed out of state.
So all you really need now is a location to pick up from, unless they'll do home delivery.
