Dealers Sue Tesla to block stores in NY and MA

I'm thinking this could backfire big time against dealers. It's going to expose the out-dated dealer franchise system. Most consumers don't understand why you can't buy vehicles online or through the manufacturer.

This may backfire on dealers. Most consumers don't understand why buying a car is such a hassle. It's mainly due to the out-dated dealer franchise system. Dealers are going to fight this tooth and nail, we'll see if consumers take notice.
