This headline is sensationalized. I hear things like this but then ask myself what do I see when I go on a drive. I live in a solid blue state, and I see a lot of new Teslas. Tesla is still the only manufacturer that can sell direct to consumer here in Washington State:
Yes, you heard that right. In a solid blue state with Democrats in charge of House & Senate in the state, they still vote in favor of Musk. I honestly think people that believe that car dealerships are the bastion of honest & fair business dealings are braindead though, just NPC zombies or something.
As a person from germany, this feels weird - like, why do you even need a delivery to the consumer? in germany, we have car seller shops. Even in the case where you live in a rural area, i’d imagine you can go to one such shop with 2 persons and you drive your new car home back and the other person drives with their car home.
I mean, i don’t know stuff about cars, since i don’t even have one (i can rely on trains and busses for my needs)
Car dealerships in America are like legalized shell entities to protect manufacturers from liability. I really think people should spend more time reading their legal contracts, especially when buying a new car. Car salespeople can lie about pretty much anything & as long as you sign the agreement, there isn’t much you can do, and it almost certainly has an arbitration clause as well.
