That they should not be punished for devising a new style dealership. We understand the old guard has a lot o money invested in buildings and overhead, but that should not prevent--in seeking legislative help--new manufacturers to find streamlined, mostly internet-based--with small dealerships in malls--from competing for business.
We abhor any attempt by any industry to control the playing field, and even resent more an effort to use government regulation to usurp the free market. We don't want to see them lose jobs or their investments. That is not our intent. But we think they should spend more time being innovative and less trying to eliminate competition.
Read this from Tesla and let us know what you think:
As you may know, Tesla is under attack from a number of car dealer associations in various states who are challenging Tesla's right to directly serve our customers at Tesla Stores and Service Centers.
Their efforts are protectionist in nature and infringe on the right of the consumer to choose how they purchase and service their vehicle.
An anonymous Tesla enthusiast created a White House petition to allow direct sales of cars to consumers in all states. We want to thank the tens of thousands of fans who have voiced their support and have already signed the petition.
We want this petition to succeed. For that to happen, the petition needs 64,000 more signatures by next Friday, July 5, 2013.
Please act now and take a moment to register, sign and forward the petition today!
