There is a petition at Whitehouse.gov to address the issue of dealership associations in states trying to block Tesla from selling direct to customers. Personally, I don't have an issue with Tesla's sales model, and actually wish other brands would follow suit.
Think about it: You can buy from factory stores for Apple, Microsoft, Bose, Levi, Eddie Bauer, etc. So why not buy a car the same way?

AFAIK this is a State-by-State issue, not something the WH has anything to do with. STATES are the ones requiring dealerships, because of croney capitalism. Talk to your local elected heroes instead.
Are you SURE you want a car you don't have a place to take it when it breaks?
