TESLA Hyperventilating About $ 5 Billion Battery Plant

FWIW, I was under the impression that Tesla was direct marketing it's cars to the end user /consumer, but some car dealers in New Jersey got butthurt over being cut out of the action.

Frankly, with my car dealings buying and selling a car each in the past three weeks, that's not a bad idea, at all. There's a very valid reason they call them car Stealerships, in my personal experiences. YMMV....
