Automaker Tesla is opening more showrooms on tribal lands to avoid state laws barring direct sales::Tesla is ramping up efforts to open showrooms on tribal lands where it can sell directly to consumers, circumventing laws in states that bar vehicle manufacturers from also being retailers in favor of the dealership model.

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, butI don't get all the hate for paying a subscription for additional features. This has been a standard in manufacturing for a very long time. New features require investment in R&D, so it makes sense to me that you would pay extra to use them, even if the vehicle is already capable of utilizing them. The investment in creating new features needs to be offset somehow.
