Wow so this seems actually worse than outlawing Tesla because what they are doing is giving Tesla major privileges over any future competition. Seems very monopolistic.

(This is of course none of those, but you were being very general)
Put down that microscope citizen. I've already told you, you are a cashier, cashiers don't use microscopes. Microscopes are for scientists. You can't be a scientist. Get back to your station. Don't make me taze you.
Or - they will see an opportunity and open up stores themselves. I look forward to seeing a GM store, a Chrysler store, and a Toyota Store, right next to the Apple store in the mall.
In that case - goodbye auto dealers. it would be a mistake to underestimate their political power, though. I have an auto dealer franchise for a client that has over a billion of revenue in a year - an auto dealer that's only present in a couple of states.
