KC auto show bans Teslas due to dealer pressure

Not sure where is best to post this but wanted to share. A local car show went out of their way to ban Teslas from a side exhibition. Dealers run the show and aren't loving the fact that Tesla bypasses their scam.

Tesla Cars Ousted From Kansas City Auto Show Because Dealers Association Rules Above All

I live in Kansas City, and have a Tesla 2017 MS 75, and I'm not surprised by this action, I get this from time to time from car salesmen and owners of Fords, Chevys, and other types of car owners other than Tesla, I guess they just don't like great cars they can't build.

Kansas City? Who cares?

This has been true for years with almost every auto show, as they’re usually run by the auto dealers cartel.

This is why you see more and more EVs being introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) every year in Las Vegas. While at the same time, you see more and more manufacturers no longer attending the old ICE car shows. As dealer controlled car shows get more restrictive and entrenched in their ICE world, they will have less attendance and more manufacturers will decide the expense is not worth the support. Mean while, CES, Los Angeles, Geneva and others that allow everyone to attend will continue to grow in importance. Foot traffic will dictate who wins.
