Texas auto dealers say no special treatment for Tesla

Car dealers are important for the same reason a shoe store is important. You've got to go in and try on the shoe first to see if it fits. But much like with shoes, consumers can figure out what fits and then go home and order from someone else.

That sounds like a premium experience that customers should pay extra for.

I don't know that it's worth as much as a few grand to drive a few miles with the dealer sitting next to me in the car. For a few hundred bucks I could rent a car for several days and base my impression on that experience.

There you go: "problem" solved! It turns out BFE doesn't need its own car dealer.
