Its not the oil companies, apparently its the N.A.D.A who are banding together. There are protections in place that prevent Auto Companies from selling directly to the consumer thus undercutting the Dealership Franchisee. Tesla argues that since it has never had, or plans to franchise the selling of their cars, it doesn't apply to them. That argument has been successful for them so far in court.

I think that the dealerships are worried that if Tesla's model does prove successful, it will spur other automakers to lobby to get the laws changed.
