Rivian CEO, Tesla Exec Slam Restrictions On Direct-To-Customer Sales: RJ Scaringe Says It Is 'As Close As You Can Get To Corruption'
Palani was responding to comments from Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) executive Sendil Palani on Saturday termed the company's direct-to-customer sales model as "an enormous challenge" hindered by laws of different states.

Palani was responding to comments from Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) CEO RJ Scaringe. Scaringe told InsideEVs that the direct-to-customer sales model is faced with several hardships.
Palani正在回應Rivian（納斯達克：RIVN）CEO RJ Scaringe的評論。Scaringe告訴InsideEVs，直銷模式面臨着若干困難。
"I think you essentially have, like, lots of dealers have paid for laws that make it really hard for us to interact directly with the consumer," he said, remarking that it is "as close as you can get to corruption."
"我認爲你基本上是，就像，很多經銷商都花錢購買了使我們難以直接與消費者互動的法律，"他說，評論稱這"幾乎是貪污。"
Why It Matters: Certain states such as Louisiana prohibit direct-to-customer sales in an attempt to protect dealers. The laws to sell to customers without dealers as middlemen differ across states and their application, too, varies.
爲什麼重要：像路易斯安那州等某些州禁止直銷以保護經銷商。不同州對無需經銷商作爲中間商向客戶銷售的法律存在差異，它們的應用也不同。
While Tesla's local sales and delivery teams observe restrictions on sales activities and manage deliveries through a small number of licensed locations, company customers have to travel long distances to pick up vehicles, Palani said.
特斯拉當地銷售和交付團隊在銷售活動上受到限制，通過少數持牌地點管理交付，這讓公司顧客不得不長途旅行去提車，Palani說。
"Sadly, this is common throughout much of the country, resulting in higher costs and a worse customer experience for the affected regions," he added.
「不幸的是，這在全國大部分地區很普遍，導致成本增加並讓受影響地域的客戶體驗更差，」他補充道。
