Bureaucratic Insanity: Tesla Opens New Service Center In Ohio To Service It's Michigan Customers

Welcome to America where politicians pander to their base out of necessity.

Would you expect the Michigan Governor to do ANYTHING to make it easier for a competitor who has no voters in his state to do business?

What’s even crazier is the fact that these Tesla owners are willing to jump through hoops for service because in 10 years there still is no other car on the market like Tesla they could switch to.

The established players have been dragging their feet or putting out piss poor examples of EVs for a decade and scratching their heads as to why Tesla owners are willing to drive out of state for service when they have yet to offer an alternative.

Audi further delays its E Tron production, forcing customers to get back in line at Tesla or research another alternative

This is honestly showing the industry just how loyal these Tesla owners are and how much business established players missed out on and are currently playing catch up with

It shows that corporations should not be allowed to contribute to PACs and influence the political process. Laws that ban competition should never get passed. It is un-American.

Aw but the Democrats LOVE doing that.

LMAO GM IS PRACTICALLY GIVING AWAY THE VOLT

It shows that if you put out an eye sore, without anything to make it special or stand out, it’s going to sit right there on the lot.

The Model S cane out in 2012 and is still the fastest sedan, one of the fastest vehicles on earth. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

I’m no fan of Tesla but give credit where credit is due, they actually made EV’s interesting and car reviewers have never had more fun launching EVs blowing the doors off traditional performance vehicles

Without PACs and Citizens United corrupt SC decision you would have a full democratic Congress, president and the unqualified Kavanaugh would be tapping a key somewhere.

THe DIRECT sales model of TESLA is the next thing that is going to go away. Now that a number of manufacturers will have EVs in their lineups - Competition will require a different strategy - because you can be sure that other makers will not be hard pricing their cars. Add in that there will be THousands more dealer service bays - and the ability to Negotiate a price - will put Tesla at a disadvantage.

About time, it only took about a decade and counting. We are all waiting for these other makers to show up and put their money where their mouth is. Some have been TALKING about EVs for years but put out a half ass attempt or delay it until
The general public is over it

Dealers are unnecessary middlemen that add overall cost, you better believe it will be more likely that new car manufacturers will go the Tesla model than dealer model.

...tapping a keg..

What is the origin if laws that require cars to be sold through dealers? I am not against it. In many other countries automakers own the distribution network.
