Car Dealerships to go the way of Livery Stables.




The electric cars are coming

A word to everyone
Go drive a Tesla. You will be changed and once the new battery factory comes online – you WILL be able to afford one. How much is a car worth to you that does NOT need constant service, lasts way too long for the current automobile business model and only uses $5 to go 245 miles? Quite a bit I'll bet.

Gearheads
There is no roar, no flames, no turbo lag, just pure unfettered ACCELERATION. These cars will make your face hurt from smiling. I’ve done it. Once you drive one, you are hooked. You can always make “vroom vroom” noises for yourself as you drive too. Watch some Youtube videos, searched using “Tesla vs.” - These electric cars silently wiz past the most worshipped internal explosion models outright, time and time again. Sorry.

Goodbye Car Dealerships.
Your days are numbered. You will join the Livery Stables that you put out of business at the beginning of the last century, in obsolescence.  Your service departments, where you make most of your money, are overstaffed to maintain cars with 12 moving parts and annual service checks only.

12 moving parts - Really
 BTW, before you go…   We all hated your haggling required, “event”, loud mouthed, slimy, deceptive, up-charging predatory businesses. We dreaded coming to see you for any reason, even including getting that new car, which should have been a clue. Given a choice, American will drop you like video rental stores. Bye now.





To elected Congress and State Government Representatives - Listen up.
We don’t care how much The Automobile “Stealership Association” paid into your last campaign, if you don’t fix the stupid laws on the books, foreign car makers will start selling electric cars directly to the American public via eBay soon, hurting our own American owned companies like Tesla. Let’s not look back on this time and see Detroit all over again. FIX THE STUPID “DEALERSHIP ONLY” laws now, before it’s too late.  If a company does not want to sell through a middleman dealership, why should they be forced to?  Makes no sense at all, UN-American, anti-competitive hogwash.
