tesla.new where you can order directly online, yeh probably. That's I reckon exactly the kind of distinction I think they're going for. ford.new would make me go to a dealer so I think they should be able to never get one.

But when you can book an appointment at a ford dealer next to you that would be kind of "action generation".

Or what is when Ford will never get ford.new, is it free to register by anyone?

Trademark law still exists, this is a solved problem.

Would only apply is the domain is being used with cars. Ford is a common last name.. could be dentist call to action.
