I don’t like the idea of any auto manufacturer being forced to sell through a franchise but that’s longstanding law in Michigan and probably most other states.
Its ridiculous to believe what has become a very de-regulatory legislature under a very liberal “green jobs” republican would suddenly change direction to regulate Tesla out of the state.
My neighbor has a Tesla, bought in California. I’m not aware of any state preventing anyone from buying any brand of vehicle based on dealership location or lack thereof.
Aren’t these laws really about dealer license fees and storefronts with no protection for the buyer?
