Volkswagen's Scout Motors has decided to sell electric SUVs directly to consumers, which has angered U.S. auto dealer groups.

The National Automobile Dealers Association, along with various state associations, plans to challenge this direct sales model in courthouses and statehouses across the country.

Scout Motors aims to emulate electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla by bypassing the traditional independent dealer network. The company is committed to providing full price transparency to its customers, which represents a significant change in the automotive sales landscape.
