It sounds like Texas likes Obamacare or cars.
Translation: " We bought and paid for our monopoly, and our Legislators are going to stay bought if they know what's good for them."
I was educated in a public school so forgive my ignorance but what the h3!! does the term “the integrity of the franchise system” mean?
History repeating itself like what happened with Tucker?
For all the rants about how free and conservative Texas is I find its also awash with superiority disease often a product of being at the top and incensed with being the “King of the Hill”.
Many States engage in this anti-free market behavior. Like the old Association of Licensed Automotive Manufacturers (ALAM) that controlled the production and pricing of early autos, this is another example of the corrupt unionista / political alliance.
Why should the state be involved in blocking Tesla from selling direct to the public?
This sounds like the automobile lobby is throwing its weight around to block competition. Does the public benefit, or is it the established car dealers who benefit from this policy?
If it’s true that “direct sales to customers is illegal in Texas”, then how is it that Carmax operates in Texas? Is anyone familiar with this law, does it only apply to new cars and not used cars?
