How is this thing a “diss?” A sophisticated international company who, on the first go-around got the far upper hand on a deal wanted a similar deal on the second go- around. And what – we somehow have some right to just expect them to pick us on the second deal because of how much we ponied up in the first? What kind of second-grade sandbox polly-annish crap is that? It’s our own leadership’s fault that we gave away the store on the first deal, and thankfully they realized that afterwards and declined to take a second trip to the woodshed because the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. I don’t expect multi-national corporations with uber-liberal cony-capitalist leadership to have a sense of obligation or honor to our state because they got the upper hand on a previous deal. What I expect is for our leadership to aggressively pursue OUR citizens interests in a manner that also doesn’t undermine real, above-board competitive free market capitalism.
This was a very biased and dopey report using the term woke for a giant corporation is Lame not letting Scout sel without brick and mortar dealerships was obviously a nod to the auto association’s Lobbyists
VW owns a bunch of niche European”luxury brands” that as a group don’t make a bunch of money (at least they aren’t right now). They’ve got to watch the bottom line and Charlotte, will from a corporate standpoint be a cheaper place to operate from, if for no other reason than Charlotte Douglas. Plus think of all the other benefits, the Lynx train to know where (aka, the strangulation train), the 77/85 interchange and the fabulous Panthers and Hornets…
This is what happens when unqualified bumpkins make deals with multi-national corporations with an army of lawyers.
Hey Murrell, you and your buddy Henry got bent and used our tax money in the process. And youwonder why citizens call you the swamp
“if the Palmetto State rewrote its auto sales laws to give the company an unfair competitive advantage over other manufacturers”
What Scout and Tesla and other progressive manufacturers want is the ability to sell directly to the consumer. Rewriting state law would not prevent any car manufacturer from doing just that, but a manufacturers agreement with their dealer network might.
I thought this site, and Republicans, were all about “letting the market decide the winners and losers”. Why is this state, in 2025, preventing any manufacturer from selling goods directly to the consumer.
How much money have Republicans taken form the auto dealers lobbyists and PACs?
