Good.

Stealerships have been raping and pillaging for years. The sooner they go the way of buggy whip makers the better.

And before you ask: Direct purchase from manufacturers and licensed service centers is a much better model, if we can't have that then manufacturer direct service.

Amen, burn the stealership model, I bought my tesla without any bs and I'm happier than if I had to go through a dealer for everything, I doubt I'll be willing to go through one again.
