POLL RESULTS


Connecticut law forbids motor vehicle manufacturers from selling their products directly to customers, a fact that has kept electric vehicle maker Tesla, which does not use dealers, from further expanding its commercial presence in the state. Tesla has argued that the law is an unnecessary restriction on consumers, but dealers say the existing law is needed to protect buyers' interests when recalls or other large-scale issues arise.

Should Tesla and other car companies be allowed to sell directly to consumers in Connecticut?
YES (67%, 16881 VOTES)

NO (33%, 8367 VOTES)

Dealership: Buying direct from manufacturer is dangerous. The manufacturer will not hesitate to take advantage of you. The dealership is on your side. We look out for you and protect you.

Also, you should get undercoating for $2,000 or penguins will die flying into windmills.

ICE Trolls come out from under the bridges whenever something can affect Tesla.

And don't mind the $20,000 dealer markup. Remember, if it wasn't for the dealership network, customers would be getting screwed left and right. Our 8-hour easy buying process is designed to have the customer's best interest in mind.

When I looked, the No vote was 25%. Last couple of thousand votes were almost all NO.

Someone kept their VPN busy !
