And with no dealer network hopefully they won't be able to screw everyone over like Ford did with the Bronco.
Massive dealer mark-up's at delivery, giving cars to high volume dealers while early res holders waited until the end of time to get their cars, etc.
Those don't need to be mandated. If people want safer cars then manufacturers will make them and people will buy them over the competition.
A/C, power windows, power locks are not mandated, how many cars sold today don't have them?
People doing "whatever they wanted" is sorta like freedom of...

Tax credits need to go away, why should tax payers subsidize someones decision on what sort of car to buy?
If the Scout is at a price I feel is fair then I will buy it, if not, I won't. Take the government finger off the scale and we'll see what happens.

No dealer shenanigans and mobile service is a win in my book!
