Tesla Outwits New Mexico's Direct Sales Ban - NewsBreak

Tesla likes to break the so-called auto industry rules every chance it gets. It proved electric vehicle naysayers wrong almost a decade ago when the Tesla Model S debuted. It then went on to build a massive Supercharging Network. But what really got the dealership establishment's attention was Tesla's direct sales model. It owns all of its dealerships and service centers outright, as opposed to other OEMs who rely on privately-owned franchise dealers to sell their products.
