Please elaborate on the net cost to consumers if all brands followed the Tesla model. Also, where would GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Porsche, et al come up with a system of dealerships to facilitate sales and service?
Are you aware that owners of dealerships invested millions based on a franchise agreement? Perhaps you’re confusing a legal agreement vs a legal mandate?
