I just think it’s an off-the-cuff comment and he probably didn’t mean it. He’s not announcing a new change in the way they do business. My read is that he’s generally saying he wants Ford to be more like Tesla. It’s not clear if any of his suggestions are even legal, given the laws in most states against direct sales (in some states there are special exemptions just for Tesla).

I don't think CEOs of public companies are allowed to say things that they don't mean, seems like the SEC would be up their butt about that that. His suggestions are perfectly legal if executed in a legal way, which they have started to do with Ford Blue split.
