    Some good the ban did. I've seen a handful around town, regardless.

        All it means is that the sale happens in another state that gets the sales tax for the roughly 100k sale.

        The dealerships don't want all the automakers to start selling direct or a company like Amazon to get involved. They want to do anything they can to not be disintermediated.

          I get the point. That doesn't mean it isn't a stupid and ultimately unenforceable law.

          The winds of change are coming, and it's time for the auto retailers to adapt or die.

                  That has nothing to do with Michigan dealership situation. They've been having some quality control issues cropping up for the past few months.

                    Agree that it has nothing to do with the dealership situation. But I think they have more issues than just quality control. Elan Musk is a smart guy and he may turn Tesla into a big success story yet, but so far it seems to be running mostly on hype.

                      Some QC issues? That's putting it mildly. For a $90k car, a 33% drivetrain failure rate is absolutely unheard of.

                                So at work today our PM council met and discussed a new edict being handed down by the executives. They decided that no project can have more than 3% contingency on the estimates provided for approval. Anything higher and we need to get management approval.

                                Here are industry standards: https://garudaaace2015.files.wordpre...ass-matrix.jpg

                                Even their highest estimate class doesn't dip to 3% until a project is effectively done and construction has wrapped up. One of our most senior (and most well-respected) project managers in the company actually laughed out loud in the meeting discussing this with our management. He said something along the lines of "Even when I'm done with a project I don't know if I'm going to come in at 97% accuracy."

                                I am 100% confident management has lost their mind. It's a completely delusional expectation.

                                What worries me is that I know we've been having a lot of GE managers start to flood into the company. Last time this happened they almost killed the company.
