Haha Tesla opening dealerships on tribal lands who are not subject to state mandatory dealerships to sell vehicle. Not a tesla fanboy. But not a car dealership fanboy either:

The Albuquerque Journal explains, “Although New Mexico prohibits direct-to-consumer car sales — which is the only type of sales that Tesla makes — as sovereign nations, Nambé and Santa Ana pueblos don’t have to follow the state law.”
Under an agreement with the tribal government, Tesla will train tribal members to serve as service technicians...
Keeping a dealership network gives those companies a huge footprint advantage — there’s probably a service bay within an easy drive of you for most automakers. There may not be one for Tesla.
But with 574 federally recognized tribal governments in 35 states, Tesla’s new strategy could do a lot to close that advantage.
