IMO, than they were with just about everything else. Additionally they are unashamed about being partisan.
they are as trustworthy as used car sales.

Believe that if you like. But in this country big business tells Congress how business is conducted. In this case it is the doings of the Automobile Dealers Association as well as the legacy manufacturers which have a powerful lobby group. They’ve been at it since the 1930s, so they’re pretty good at knowing what they are doing. It’s the circular logic where money=power and more money=more power.
Dealers in the US have been voicing their opinion as of late on EV's and it is not positive.
Dealers Say 'Slow Down' On EVs. But The Sales Numbers Say Otherwise
Some 5,000 car dealers have signed a new letter written to President Biden to stop EPA's aggressive new EV mandate.

Hard to make servicing and repair money on EVs. Add direct to customer sales and that is a big threat to them. I can’t be bothered trying to trawl through the bad faith arguments they are going to throw out.
I’ve observed nothing but dealer and big brand negativity on ev in my decade of tesla ownership. This isn’t new.Dealers in the US have been voicing their opinion as of late on EV's and it is not positive.

that was encouraging about the overall status of EV demand. while the world will move on from the current dealer model, can't exactly hold the current dealers responsible to facilitate the demise of their business model. the market will do that on its own.
Except now they are making a concerted effort to role back not just the selling of EV's, but the infrastructure. This> is the attitude of many many dealers> "I have a background in automotive sales and know that sales is the transfer of emotion. If dealers are not excited about selling electric cars, that attitude will filter down through the entire organization. Customers will sense that negative energy and decide not to buy an EV." This attitude sums up the experience I and people I know in the Electric Vehicle Association in Oregon..and as I have read, across the county as well.
We saw that attempted here in Australia but as our automotive industry got way too greedy they ended up failing.
Some got large bailouts from the government which was kinda ironic, but then one by one they all closed and left the country which was inevitable. Now we have no domestic car manufacturing and import everything.
The old Holden plant here in my home town of Adelaide has sat vacant for years but recently has been used as a holding yard for new Teslas as they await delivery at the Delivery Centre
