It's +Tesla Motors vs the car dealer franchise system

Back in early 2007 when I first interviewed former Tesla CEO Martin Eberhard, he explained that the company was planning the follow the Apple retail model with company owned stores instead of franchised dealers. http://green.autoblog.com/2007/03/17/tesla-to-open-customer-service-centers-in-2007/

At first it wasn't much of a problem, but as Tesla has expanded it's retail footprint in the past year dealers have been pushing back.
