Maybe this is why NADA pushes back so hard against Tesla opening showrooms anywhere: it's not so much that they want a cut of every Tesla sold; it's more so that they don't want the public to realize how much better the car buying experience can be without them.

I think there's something to it - I forget the exact details, but services like Carvana have been getting pressure as well

I fully expect to maintain this... perceived necessary upselling experience
