That's just going to transition more car makers to sell to customers directly, making dealers even more useless

Dealerships survive on maintenance.

Most EVs regular maintenance is tire rotation and filling washer fluid.

Tires are supposed to rotate on their own!

All I have to say about this news article is that it is shitty that they put the title of what they said all the way at the bottom of the news article.
