Kill the laws that keep car dealers in business

That's very logical. But the en vogue approach today is to disrupt everyone out of business because technology entrepreneurs and capitalists are "good guys".

The argument for this stuff is mostly "OMG Tesla is awesome!". But folks forget/ignore that having to deal with A fortune 50 company as a consumer isn't fun either (recall: AT&T in the old days). Your local car dealer may have annoying commercials, but the folks who allowed a defective $0.50 ignition switch to kill people didn't work for a Chevy dealer... They were GM engineers.

Good thing this isn't a formal debate, or else he might lose points.

Then buy a Tesla instead of a GM shitbox. What's your point?

I'm pretty sure the point is that if everyone buys a Tesla, they become the big company.
