Car dealers are not your friend, and anything they say about politics is usually the opposite of what is in the consumer's interest.

Also, because car dealerships represent the legacy auto makers (Tesla doesn't have dealerships), and the legacy auto makers have been left behind when it comes to EV design and manufacturing.  Hence, Ford, GM, etc. force too many EVs into a dealership system that doesn't know how to sell them and doesn't want them.  And of course, added to that is the fact that if, for example, you buy a Ford EV, or a GM EV, you don't have access to Tesla's charging system until 2025.  

The legacy auto makers could not have done a worse job planning their EV transition.  They announced this transition to EVs, and they did a horrible job of implementing it.  Did no one in GM's boardroom ask any questions about how people who own GM EVs would fare on an out of town road trip?  It's amazing how stupid they were.

Perhaps because they were not ready to transition to EV’s yet?  They had it thrust upon them just as it is being shoved upon the consumer.  The manufacturers would have naturally transitioned to the next technological breakthrough when they were ready.  By mandating the change to an unproven technology this was predictable.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
