TADA is just trying to hold-out as long as they can. They know EV's are the future but they're entrenched in old business models. I think GM, Ford, Ram/Dodge/Chrysler, Toyota and other legacy auto manufacturers will stay with the dealership models but somehow they are still afraid of Tesla and Rivian?Wasn't clear. Was thinking about what might be palatable to Texas legislatures who want to keep the auto-dealership lobby happy and attract multi-billion dollar investments.
Of course half a billion dollar incentive packages are pretty appealing too.
You would think that Tesla and Rivian would have a price advantage not using dealerships but that advantage hasn't manifested itself too much in Tesla's prices. Too much tech?
Maybe somewhere down the road GM, Ford and others will start to falter because of their disadvantages, just have to wait and see I guess.
I would like to see a cost-per-vehicle breakdown between the legacy auto manufactures and the newer EV manufactures.
