    I think part of what Tesla failed at was opening direct buy dealerships in states, which becomes Intrastate commerce. They do allow you to direct buy, just not from the “showroom”.

        Tesla failed at (one thing) is not the same as Tesla failed completely.

        I think context is important here. We were talking about how Tesla failed to open direct to consumer dealerships owned by Tesla because of state laws.

          I suppose that understates it. They failed to get laws changed in a few red states. Considering how they can’t produce vehicles fast enough, I don’t know how much that even matters.
