wait tesla can't sell cars directly in texas?

Dealerships are a huge deal. People build vast empires with the dealerships they own. They sell you a car and then make money off you servicing that car at their dealership until you buy another car from them. They don't care what brand, one person might own a Ford, Hyundai, and Kia dealership. If someone buys a new car, it needs to be from them, and they get pissed off if someone tries to sell a new car without being a dealer. It's one of the very few things that Musk is right about, but only because he wants to sell the cars himself. If There was a Musk Chevrolet, he'd push just as hard to stop Tesla as the rest of the dealers.

Yeah, years and years ago this was the reason I initially liked Tesla, because gently caress dealerships, gently caress dealership owners, petty loving royalty and pieces of poo poo, so anyone sticking it to dealerships I thought was great.

The monorail doesn’t run to the airport. It’s actually extremely inconvenient to get around on in general
since it doesn’t even run the full length of the strip and has multiple breaks.

Of course combustible cabs driving in death trap tunnels under the city isn’t the solution to that problem.

Yeah that’s what really confused me about all of this. Why would Las Vegas want that when they have the monorail? I’ve been to Vegas multiple times for NAB and have never rented a car because you can get all over the strip real easily for cheap.

Any other time I’ve gone I’ve driven since it’s about 5 hours. And even then, traffic is only bad on the strip.

Then again, some local governments are taken in pretty easily. It’s why states keep giving tax breaks to Hollywood even when they lose massive amounts of money on it.

You can tell they just nod and agree with him until he leaves, and then halfass whatever input he had. Like when they were testing "starship" and it turned out it was just a tank to test out hovering with the engine and he had them weld on a starship shape on top. Then when it fell off, they tested without it.
