After reading in another thread about the laws about dealerships I realize how important the owners are for Tesla. In case any of you don't know what I'm talking about, there is a Texas State law that says that motor vehicle manufacturers cannot have dealerships in Texas!!! Tesla is screwed until the law changes or they sign up independent dealerships.
Independent dealerships add 30% to the cost of a car on average, provide zero value, and a horrible purchase experience. Tesla will never do that. It's more important to write to your state representative and ask for an amendment to the existing laws that permit a U.S. manufacturer that has no dealers to be allowed to sell directly. There are some threads on this in this section.
