All things Automotive Podcast – Colorado Rips a Hole in the Dealer’s Universe (Episode 007)

Welcome to the show, new listeners. We resume our conversation on the quickly transforming business of Automotive Dealership retail and beyond.

Please enjoy our conversation on the Colorado Ruling that allows EV makers to sell direct in their state. From a consumer’s point of view, having this option makes sense. It gives people a choice — we can buy an EV from a traditional automaker through a dealer, or we can buy directly from an EV company. But how does this impact dealer’s today and in the future. Please let us know in your comments or on social media if you agree with us and if you have anything to add to the conversation.

We listened to the audience and improved our recording gear. This episode is the first one using the new gear. Let us know how it sounds and if the audio quality is improving.

And please reach out to me if you enjoyed the content or have any additional questions or thoughts.
