Don't see anything particularly new in it.
Yea, the blog post isn't really aimed at us. It's aimed at folks with little knowledge about Tesla's sales strategy, something that the press will pick up and repeat.I assume you mean "New to us" (on TMC). New in relation on how to sell cars then YES!
What's a Gallerie?
I'm still not sure why Tesla just doesn't say it's all advertising. You can advertise in stores, billboards, TV, whatever. There are viral flash mob stuff that's "live" advertising, in addition to tours companies do as such that are all live. Seems like Tesla could just say the stores are a form of live advertising.
Maybe that's what Tesla is saying in different words when Elon talks about not selling cars and only being able to direct them to make a reservation.
That essentially is what they are saying. But it doesn't matter what you say when legal system is corrupt. I don't really doubt that dealerships plenty of political pull. Any law that is against fair competition (including rebates for EV's) should not exist.
I think if there is a chance for win, Tesla should counter sue. In line any loss for estimated trial costs, loss in goodwill, sales and stock value immediately due to the frivolous harassment.
Edit: and WSJ has already got something up referencing Elon's post, though it's subscription locked so I can't read more than the teaser paragraph.
I find it extraordinarily interesting that one of the groups involved in one of the law suits actually demanded to be awarded a Tesla franchise! It sounds like it's time to nuke the dealership franchise protection laws and let the market sort it out!
Tesla CEO Elon Musk Responds To Critics Dealer Lawsuits
Some misunderstandings, especially point 1. Elon obviously meant that dealers weren't going to properly explain the advantages of electric cars, since that would be against their other business interests.
This is funny. I learned something about USA reading about these issues. I thought USA was the home of the free and brave, and a capitalist society.
