Where Are Tesla Direct-Sales Battle Lines Drawn?: Video - Bloomberg A good video. Shows a very supportive Jalopink which is a nice change from their earlier coverage of TSLA. Also shows someone calling out one of the dealerships representatives on some of their bs.
A perfect follow up to the confrontation with Matt Miller and Appleton in an earlier posting. It is referenced in this, obviously Matt did not buy into Appleton's BS and this is the result. Nice posting.
Good video. Surely the dealership associations can see the writing on the wall by taking the position of fighting with Tesla. It may very well be, once EVs have mainstream acceptance, that Tesla uses franchised dealers to expand their network. At the moment though, they definitely don't need it to pump up deliveries, seeing that they are volume constrained at the factory. Again, it still baffles me that the only country where this is even an issue is the United States.
