I'm no fan of Musk or Teslas in general. However, my next car WILL be an EV, and I will NOT be purchasing it through a car dealership.

If there's a way for me to buy a Ford or GM without the middleman, I'll think about it.

Obligatory "I hate musk" but a few years ago when I purchased my Tesla it took me a few minutes on my cellphone via their website to place the order. My prior was an Infiniti and that purchase took 3 hours holed up at the dealership while my in-laws took care of the kids for 2 hours longer than than we promised.
