150 of them have taken a $300,000 to $1,000,000 buyout to cease operations instead of investing $200,000 in charging infrastructure and other updates to their facilities to support the brand's electric future.

So if I had been hammered by the pandemic, was low on cash and unsure what the future looked like and you said I had the choice to pay $200K or take $1,000K....

Yeah, good point.  I am sure many of those dealerships are hanging on by a thread.
