grue 1 #1 April 4, 2015 10% of US states do not allow vehicle manufacturers to sell directly to customers, insisting they use a dealership system to increase prices and lower quality of service. The latest of these states had the bill put into play by someone who, surprise, owns car dealerships. http://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/04/west-virginia-is-the-latest-state-to-ban-tesla-direct-sales/ If I can go the rest of my life without buying through a franchise dealership, my life will be better for it. Hopefully Tesla has a smaller model out by the time I'm ready for my next new car.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
