Its a little bit unfair to
Its a little bit unfair to say Tesla wants exceptions 'just for itself'. They are challenging the rule of law that only dealers can sell cars, they sell direct not through dealers. They stand for a direct sales model, of which they are the only manufacturer trying to do this. A law modification to allow them to sell would enable others to follow, which is why the dealer associations are pushing back so hard.
Consumers by and large don't want the dealership model anymore, we can but computers direct. shoes direct, you name it. Tesla have a following not just in their ranks, but in the general populace as well. Politicians may think they have 'won' against Tesla, but may find themselves looking for alternative employment after the next election.
