Large manufacturers like Ford, for example, can't sell cars directly in a state where an independent-dealer Ford franchise exists. Thus, by establishing company-owned dealers, Tesla will circumscribe where it can sell direct."

So what I said to Fbodfather was in fact correct. Destroy the existing franchises and they could open their own.
NOTE: I know it's not as easy as saying it, but from what I gather it's 100% possible and probably the way that it should have been done from the outset but hindsight is 20/20.
So, Fbodfather, I'm waiting for my apology.
I kid, I kid.
