    What Tesla haters (that is 90% of people on Reddit and 80% of this sub) love to forget, is the MARGIN. The more ev Tesla competitors sell, the more money they LOSE. That’s why most legacy dealerships never push for EVs but try to trick people into buying more profitable hybrids or full ICEs cars. Tesla (and chinese brands) are the only car makers that make money selling EVs. This could have changed years ago IF old automakers planned things better. But they have no real vision for the future, have to deal with dealerships, unions and a extremely outdated factories. Look at GM: its value has not changed in the 10 years Mary Barra (the one who LEADS) has been its CEO.

      Dealers don’t care about how much money the factory loses producing these units. They buy them and sell them to the public.

      Dealers don’t like them because they see them as rope to hang their service business and largely they don’t want to train people to sell them. They see the writing on the wall, evs will destroy legacy shitty dealers
