It's weird to advertise your car dealership using a car that you don't sell at your dealership. Car dealers threw a hissyfit because Tesla bribed the right politicians to allow them to do direct to consumer auto sales.

It's also weird to advertise on a billboard that the majority of people view negatively

Some youtube pranksters need to keep calling the number asking about buying the cyber truck so they have to spend all day explaining over and over again that they don't actually sell them

New car dealerships very rarely sell Tesla's. They will take them as trades and stick them on the lot for a while, but they aren't going out to buy them at auction. They aren't equipped to repair them and Telsa gives them a hassle on buying parts because they don't have the cars registered to them in Tesla's computer system.

I guess this could be a user car dealer, but "auto group" usually means one of those mega dealers with multiple new car dealerships all on adjoining lots

one of them around here has a used lot off to the side but that might just be the land they could get
