Why is every import license "exclusive" for the "Official importer"?

In the West, there are rival agencies that sell cars. You can go from one to another to negotiate.

Can you do that in Israel?

No?

Then we have a cartel.

Carasso Motors is one of the worst Israeli car distributors in the Israeli auto cartel.

They are the main reason why Renault is failing in Israel. Legendarily terrible customer service.

It would have been much better for everyone if Xpeng just sold directly to the Israeli consumers like Tesla does, instead of strengthening the auto importer cartels.

Cars in Israel cost over twice what they cost in the EU. A base Model 3 costs about $55,000. Much of that is due to taxes, but when the government is scr*wing you over, why shouldn't the auto cartels as well? It's not like there's any competition. Not really.
