[quote=Anonymous]The economics of the dealer model has changed. Manufacturers are going to start overproduction that they will need to support financially with “cash on the hood” incentives, and rebates, or holdback, etc. Ford has begun direct sales and Honda is moving in that direction. There will be a sea change in the next five years as ICE vehicles are phased out and EVs become the norm. EVs don’t require the same level of service (oil changes, plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, muffler/exhaust, fluids, transmission/dufferential, piston rings, manifold) and this is how must dealerships currently make their profits. This also means fewer mechanics and will affect everything from auto parts stores to your local gas station mechanic. [/quote]
