Better that excess demand is captured by the manufacturer, which can be reinvested into manufacturing, than the dealer.
I far prefer the transparent pricing of Tesla, and its now the only manufacturer I'd consider buying from in the USA.

An interesting comment considering this is above a story of Tesla cutting functionality via a software update for a customer years after purchase and demanding thousands to undo it. That sort of stuff, their lackluster QC and the erratic behavior of the CEO has me pretty skeptical of them as a company.
The current owner may have been deceived by one of the previous sellers but that's not something your can really blame on Tesla
If you order a Toyota Camry and the transporter drops off a Ferrari at your door screaming WELL IT SAYS FERRARI ON RIGHT THERE ON THE CAR isn't in any way a valid argument.
They're just going to tell you that's nice but so what that's not where the discrepancy is in the first place. The order says Toyota, the invoice say Toyota, the transport slip says Toyota, etc, etc.
Same thing if any enterprise hardware or software is provisioned incorrectly. Same thing with telecom.
Same thing with cars. If the wrong car gets dropped off they can and absolutely will send a truck to retrieve it.
Will they tear down the building built with those materials 3 years ago to do it?
