The other threat competitors pose to Tesla is
massive dealership networks that are conveniently located, do warranty work and repair fender - benders in all 50 states.

massive global workforce, vast assets in the form of factories, an enormous
network of marketers and
dealerships, billions in yearly advertising, a legacy automotive media, and above all, the financing that makes buying and leasing individual cars and trucks possible.
