From "Peter C. Thompson via EV"
what kept [the dealership] open and running was the shop. People might
not buy a new car, but they sure will need to get it repaired.
Once the EV becomes mainstream, that source of daily cash is going to
serious dwindle. THAT, I believe, is one of the big stumbling blocks
facing the big OEMs.
I'm confident that the dealers will invent new services to keep EV
owners coming in for service. Since auto companies sell to dealers (not
individuals), they will be more than happy to cooperate.
How long before we see a "check battery" light in your EV that comes on
every 3000 miles? Or mandatory "software update required" that only the
dealer can do?
