Extreme corruption. When car manufacturers lobby for laws against their own interest, just to quell a new competitor, I don't know what else to call it.

It's not the car manufacturers lobby, it's the car dealership lobby. Manufacturers generally don't own the dealerships which is what makes Tesla unique here. If all car manufacturers started selling direct, the dealerships would all be out of business.
