This wouldn’t be a problem if showrooms for direct to consumer car buying was illegal too.

EDIT: In case you aren’t aware (not sure if this has changed in the last decade), in a handful of states, approximately 17 (maybe less) do not allow direct to consumer dealerships. This means in states that have laws against this, the manufacturers can not operate a dealership which they sell the vehicle. So effectively Tesla must conduct their sales entirely online. Since laws very from state to state, so much as discussing pricing can be illegal. If states are gonna ban the dealerships then why not just make the showrooms illegal too?

Shilling for us all to go through useless lying middlemen for car buying? Yeah no thanks pal.

I’m not saying you’ll want it, just that it could stop these Tesla showrooms from existing.
