This angers me. Not because I think it's bad but because Ford teased us with it but never delivered. In the end, Ford may be laughing all the way to the bank with ecoboost marketing genius but I want my 1/2 ton diesel.

I agree but it's a 1/2 ton... :)

So you're gonna burst my bubble with an imaginary list? Smug is not an attractive quality, I don't think you can rationalize why that's a good thing.

Oversteer shouldn't smoke the tires like that in a FWD car. I think that is the concern and obvious doctoring.

The truly committed fart sniffers will buy a Model S. Even though this does look pretty good it could never out-smug a Tesla. Who wants to be seen as just a wanna-be fart sniffer when you can be the real thing!

That would be sweet.

I love freedom. I hate bullshi,t sensationalist, misleading, hyperbolic, headlines that use subtle political innuendo to generate page views. ANTI-TESLA STUFF IS HAPPENING, PLEASE CLICK HERE!!!!!

If they invest money into it then the expectation is that it contributes to profits in some way, of course.

Really? the dealer system has been around for many decades. It is nothing new. Folks know about it. They don't perceive it as particularly harmful. What you are saying is that people are idiots and they need the enlightened folks to tell them what to be outraged about. Yours is the condescending attitude. I trust the…

He's not doing that. He is trying to change laws to make more money. My argument / comment is not a statement on merits or demerits of the dealer or direct sale models.

And if the realities of running a business requiring looking for profits in that area, he will. It's sounds good and if it works, that's great. If it doesn't they will adapt.

I guess I'll do whatever I want, even though I'm not doing what you are saying. But hey, I know reading is hard for some.

I agree that the people should stand up for a more open system. Too bad they aren't.

Call me a cynic but I just don't think Tesla is going to leave money on the table. Seems like a lot of folks think Musk is some kind of proletariat warrior that isn't profit motivated, or more importantly, isn't accountable to investors.

That is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever heard. Let me ask you, why do believe Musk isn't profit motivated and a saint?

LOL. I have no love for the dealers or these politicians. You are just assuming that since I'm not licking Musks asshole I must love the dealers and the politicians whose palms they grease.

Sigh... am I just coming across unintelligibly?

I'm not arguing for the law, merely the characterization of the law as anti-Tesla.

If you could read you'd probably conclude that I do.

LOL. Dealership employee. Good one.
