Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout

Tesla… failed… at? Have you seen how profitable that company is now?

Tesla failed at (one thing) is not the same as Tesla failed completely.

I think context is important here. We were talking about how Tesla failed to open direct to consumer dealerships owned by Tesla because of state laws.

I suppose that understates it. They failed to get laws changed in a few red states. Considering how they can’t produce vehicles fast enough, I don’t know how much that even matters.
