[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 16247732, member: 138337"] I'm not asking anyone to suck anything. As far as not honoring warranty, dealerships get paid to do warranty work. In today's world with all of excessive recalls, warranty work helps pay the bills. We obviously don't turn down any warranty work. As far as turning it down, it would be no different than any retail establishment refusing service to someone (as long as they are not in a 'protected class'). Tesla won't. Tesla will jump in to the semi truck market, and home power market; at that point they'll realize/decide that the profit margin in vehicle sales isn't worth their R&D as they aren't able to overcome economies of scale like the bigger manufacturers do. Did you know that Tesla employees are the least satisfied employees in the automobile manufacturer market? There is constant turnover. Poor wages, poor working environment and poor structure are the three main reasons given in their resignation interviews. As far as other purchases go, there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of franchise retail stores, restaurants, bars, etc where the exact same thing takes place. The dealer system is here to stay, at least for now. Ford, GM and FCA understand that there are WAY bigger margins in producing vehicles than there are in selling them now, they won't take the risk in trying to take over. Not to mention, it would cost them hundreds of millions in lawsuits or buyouts to get rid of franchises unless the franchise agreement is broken by the franchisee. But hey, everyone can have their opinions :) OP, if you ship me your wheel/tire I'll take care of it if you can't get it done any closer. [/QUOTE]
