Tesla CEO Elon Musk is supporting the conservative candidate in the race to fill a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which could ultimately decide a Tesla lawsuit.

Tesla has been fighting this fight for more than a decade, during which time Musk didnt do anything like this. I always love to hear the dealership association justifications.....
Does anyone anywhere in the Known Universe believe that the dealerships act as 'consumer advocates'?
.... All most as believable as "the government is here to help you"
Case in point... My wife wanted/needed a car last year. After looking at different cars she settled on a VW Golf GTI. Went back and forward negotiating with sales rep/sales manager and we settled on a price. Returned the next day to pick up the car and sign paperwork. Got the "we need you to sign here-here-and here." rush.
I noticed the numbers were not the same as the day before. I asked the sales rep why it higher by $250.00. He stated the State of Ohio allows them to charge for all the paperwork needed to complete the sale. (I have seen this charge before when buying cars years earlier- he is right the state set a limit up to $250.00 for "paperwork prep")
I replied I don't pay for paperwork prep that it is the cost of them operating a business. He said the state requires they add it on.
Me- gathering up my papers and starting to stand I said "OK then, you just lost a sell" He said wait - hang on... He goes to his sales manger and the paperwork comes back with the 250.00 still on it but the selling price was adjusted lower to cover the 250.00 Guess the finance department received their 250 but it wasn't from me...
So yeah, dealerships act as 'consumer advocates' my butt!
