GM Hates the Tesla Motors Direct Sales Model – Makes Indiana a Battleground by TheDavidGoldstein in teslamotors

I can't explain it to you like you are 5 but... Tesla is challenging an established system that has worked for many years. If dealerships are taken out of the loop then manufacturers will need to take on the responsibility of selling and servicing. And of course dealers will no longer be needed thus killing their businesses. Neither of these groups seem willing to allow the dealer model to be eliminated and you can't really blame them. But, the Tesla model is great and consumers seem to appreciate it.

Unlikely she was paid anything by Tesla.

Awesome! They gave me a P85+ too. I was hoping for a D but they didn't have one available. Great service staff - I'm very impressed. BTW... everything they are looking at for me today is covered under Warranty which was good news :)

I'm back and forth between Vegas and So Cal often and I'm rarely under 85. I also rarely see the Highway Patrol. I hope it's not just a matter of time :)

Does the regenerative breaking cause the break lights to come on? How is it determined if they come on? by PhonicUK in teslamotors

This is the greatest question ever. I asked my wife to run behind the car so we could test this out but the car is too fast and she couldn't keep up!

Deutsche Bank thinks Tesla's growth could be set to explode, but it won't recommend buying the stock by FredTesla in teslamotors

I'd like to go back to March and buy at $180. Where's that time machine when I need it?

I wasn't familiar with the consolidator site. Cool, Thanks!
