Its not an anti Tesla bill. Tesla has been pimping it as such for their own self promotion.

The "change" should make it easier for Tesla and any other automaker.

Sec. 14. (1) A manufacturer shall not do the following;

(i)Sell any new motor vehicle directly to a retail customer other than its franchised dealers, unless the retail customer is a nonprofit organization or a federal, state, or local government agency.

Prior to the change, automakers were required to sell through their own franchises. Now they can sell through any franchise. Ford can sell through Mercedes, Chevy can sell through a Toyota franchise. (Tesla needs lots of techs to fix the cars before any franchise will sell them)



These are the same republicans who have been so busy removing restrictions on everything else and now we're supposed to believe that they're trying to regulate Tesla out?

Long ago a college professor lectured that “the primary purpose of licensing is to restrict competition” ;I think that is one time the professor got it right.
