I think the concerns about dealers/Assoc monopoly has been well addressed by Tesla, in each "fight" that I know of he's prevailed- here in S florida they have a "store" in the mall!!
You do raise a strong concern for M.C. companies, as the boomers get in line for their medicare, the numbers of "older" riders keeps going up, for me after 50yrs of bikes, I so look forward to a.c., automatic (bad knees), and not getting wet!!
They (Tesla) did get some push-back from a few states, not sure it was fear per-se, or maybe concern dealers would loose some control over their own affairs.With all due respect, I can't imagine anybody in the industry fears Tesla - niche cars, at best, expensive toys really. Now, when Elio sells 250k vehicles per year, that will be a definite threat to Dealers and the franchise model as the automakers themselves put pressure on legislators to be able to trim the fat to compete.
The censor did you a favor, bowers. PS your cartoon here is not clear either.

political commentary edited out of the above post
Let's face it, the vast majority of people absolutely hate buying a car because they do not trust the process or the people involved, i.e., The Dealership and Car Salesmen. In a recent Gallup poll, Car Salesmen only ranked behind Congress as the least trusted profession in America - members of Congress, fergodssake! Dealerships only exist through legislative mandate, promoted by huge amounts of money spent lobbying.They (Tesla) did get some push-back from a few states, not sure it was fear per-se, or maybe concern dealers would loose some control over their own affairs.
In the poll, was dentisits 3rd?? (I ask as my #1 would be)Let's face it, the vast majority of people absolutely hate buying a car because they do not trust the process or the people involved, i.e., The Dealership and Car Salesmen.

I suspect that no one would shed a tear if Dealerships lost this monopoly and disappeared as the result of robust competition driven by an alternative business model.
There was no other text other then "oh no, not again", so nothing political from me on this one.The censor did you a favor, bowers. PS your cartoon here is not clear either.
