    This has been worked out in a bunch of states like New Jersey because of hardcore lobbying from tesla

    Fuck Tesla but direct sales make sense. Fuck dealership middlemen more. If I can save several thousand dollars buying directly from Nissan or whoever instead of padding some douche who’s only adding a high pressure sale and maybe some oil changes

      Bro last time I bought a car they tried to sell me $6k worth of extended service plans…on a $12k car then we’re pushy as hell while I was saying “no I do not want extended service plans, I just want a fucking car”

        My grandfather helped me purchase the car I have. At one point he was arguing with the salesperson and I got uncomfortable.

          In hindsight I should have just threatened to walk out over the ESPs but meh, next time. Realistically with my current insane commute this car won’t last too long so it’ll probably only be a two or three years before I’m car shopping again
