    I think part of what Tesla failed at was opening direct buy dealerships in states, which becomes Intrastate commerce. They do allow you to direct buy, just not from the “showroom”.

        I think context is important here. We were talking about how Tesla failed to open direct to consumer dealerships owned by Tesla because of state laws.

          I suppose that understates it. They failed to get laws changed in a few red states. Considering how they can’t produce vehicles fast enough, I don’t know how much that even matters.
