NADA Is Terrified of Tesla

[DEAD7]

It's no secret that the National Automobile Dealers Association has been trying to block Tesla from selling cars directly from consumers, but to date, it has been defeated countless times in many states. Now NADA put out a release and promotional video touting the benefits of dealer franchises, something Tesla has shunned. NADA mentions price competition, consumer safety, local economic benefits, and added value.

I want one of these cars so bad. The entire business model is changing in America at a rapid pace. The old ways of conducting business is being tossed in the bushes and these old people are afraid.

What Tesla also doing with the free source of their technology is awesome also.

What tesla is doing is the right thing, the actual brand sells the car

What's the benefit of getting azz raped when buying a car at a dealership?

Salute to Tesla. Their cars are going to be really affordable in a few years too. The auto industry should focus more on making good looking electric cars than fukking with Tesla.
