This Is Why Cars.com Really Wants More Tesla on Its Platform
Surprisingly, you can't buy a new Tesla (TSLA) - Get Report , on Cars.com (CARS) - Get Report which is now a publicly traded company.
"I think we're an ideal home for [Tesla] to start being disruptive in their marketing strategies," said Cars.com CEO Alex Vetter in an interview with TheStreet. "We skew one of the most affluent, younger audiences across the web."
While Vetter wouldn't say if his company was in touch with Tesla specifically, he said Tesla is a company he wants on his platform. "I think a lot of our luxury shoppers want to compare and contrast Tesla to the other alternatives," he said.
Cars.com was spun-off from Tegna and officially listed as a public company on the New York Stock Exchange on June 1. The stock is up roughly 7% since then.
