RE: The End Of The Car Dealership
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There are about 10 states that is true. One of them, ironically, is Texas, where Tesla is building their largest factory. The legislature doesnt meet for another two years (it is part time in that state) so all Teslas made in Texas will have to be transported out of state to be sold to Texans.
I am going to guess that the next time the legislature meets, there will be a different turn out.
Tesla is going to overturn these laws as their cars start to penetrate those states. So I guess in 5 years, all those laws are gone as many car dealerships close down.

I hope so, but I don't see it happening that quick.
At least in Colorado it is not on the Horizon and we are about to tax electric cars by the mile driven at a high rate.
If Tesla is pumping out 6-7 million cars in 5 years, I see half of them coming out of their US factories. If that is the case, it could end up really harming some of those states with the laws protecting dealers. As those cars get in the hands of owners, it strengthens that position while also weakening the dealerships.
Just follow the flow of money. The less for the dealerships, the worse their situation.
Of course, this does lead back to the grid problem you just mentioned. Some states like Florida will do well. Others like those in the Northeast will struggle.
