It will all be extinct in 10 years imo. There's really not a strong reason in this day and age for manufacturers to give such a cut to dealerships. TESLA is showing dealerships are unnecessary, and other brands are exploring the move. System sucks, but if you are just showing up at the lot to see what they have, you are going through alot of unnecessary pain.




Aren't their laws in most states that prevents manufacturers from selling directly to the public?

I read about this a few months ago when it was mentioned on a earnings call with either gm or Ford and a show I listen to discussed it.

I think there's like 20-25 states that already allow direct to consumer car sales and tesla has already gotten laws made to allow them to sell directly in like 15 more, so they sell direct in most of the country, save for a handful of states. The laws will change as evs become more popular with all these new manufacturers, and a google search shows its a popular bill coming up in alot of states to vote on. It's only a matter of time.

Didn’t Tesla just file a lawsuit over that issue?
