Scout Motors, which aims to sell electric vehicles directly to consumers, is encountering significant legal challenges from a coalition of Volkswagen and Audi dealers. This lawsuit reflects ongoing tensions between traditional dealerships and the increasing presence of direct-to-consumer sales models in the EV market, previously seen with Tesla. Notably, the California New Car Dealers Association has already issued a cease-and-desist letter, asserting that Scout's sales strategy violates state regulations, and similar efforts are underway in other states, including Florida. Scout, however, is not anticipated to begin EV production until 2027.
