Actually, it was a somewhat reasonable point. If Tesla got bought someday by someone like BMW then suddenly the Tesla stores would become BMW stores and BMW would have company stores now competing with franchise dealers in the area.Thanks for the update, but are they really serious that they thought Tesla wanted to create a franchise?

Doug Smith, president of the Missouri Auto Dealers Association, said in a statement that the association – which represents more than 400 auto dealers – was “pleased with the progress of the discussions and will continue working on this.”

Make a friend in your state legislative body. Preferably someone on the transportation committee. Give them a ride, donate to their campaign or host a fundraiser at your house for them. Ask them to have their office keep you in the loop on any anti-Tesla legislation NADA tries to sneak through.
This should be the PAC, an alliance comprising owners, politicians who are owners, politicians who are enthusiasts, politicians with tesla owners in family and friends. If a PAC of this sorts can be compiled at national and state level it would be a force to deal with politically for the sneaky few .
