Tesla prevails in top Massachusetts court over direct sales

Reuters reports Tesla prevails in top Massachusetts court over direct sales "Massachusetts' highest court on Monday threw out a lawsuit seeking to block Tesla Motors Inc from selling its luxury electric cars directly to consumers in the state, enabling it to bypass traditional dealerships."

"The law "was intended and understood only to prohibit manufacturer-owned dealerships when, unlike Tesla, the manufacturer already had an affiliated dealer or dealers in Massachusetts," [Justice Margot Botsford] wrote."

Having just bought a car, I really don't understand how the dealer model is still valuable.
