Could We Buy a $50,000 Electric Car Where We Buy our TV?

[USA] Telsa Secures $465M DOE Loan To Build $50,000 Electyric Cars In California | www.detnews.com

The future of the EV industry getting their product in front of the consumer could be with the CE retailer, not the Auto dealer.  We have seen where Best Buy has ventured into the EV space with e-bikes.  If customers can see the CE retailer in the business of Electric Bikes, why not the Electric Car?  Would it mean opening a Stand Alone dealership spin off (like the Car Max/Circuit City deal more than a decade ago)?  Not necessarily.  It makes more sense than you think.  The next great frontier.
