TESLA ANNOUNCES PLAN TO SELL CARS AT NEIGHBORHOOD GARAGE SALES

There's a new twist in the debate over whether or not Tesla should be allowed to sell cars directly to its customers rather than through a dealership.  

At a press conference yesterday, the electric car manufacturer announced it will begin selling its $70,000 Model S at neighborhood garage sales.

"We think buyers will love the convenience of being able to buy a new Model S and some used bedsheets at the same time," said beaming Tesla spokesman Rob "Bob" Beekerman.

Not surprisingly, the country's largest dealership association denounced the plan.  "It's un-American and bad for consumers.  Who's going to sell them undercoating and an extended warranty?" barked NAACTBRRVFDOA spokesman Ferman Dwales.  But Twyla Blark, whose garage sale was the first to offer a Model S for sale, disagreed.  "It was great.  Lots of people stopped to look at it, and I ended up selling everything, including my ex-husband's prosthetic nose."
