Another thing is when a manufacturer sells direct to a consumer, under the Uniform Commercial Code, those pesky implied warranties kick in - like warranty of merchantability, fitness for use, etc. Much better protections for the consumer then the extremely limited “limited warranty” the other manufacturers love to use via the franchise indirect-sales system.
Can’t have the old ways comeback.... /s

Oh, gosh! I didn’t know that. The Yugo, the Vega, the fire prone Volt, what a legal nightmare that would be. Thanks.
