Proposal PRN 2013-138, the proposed regulation which Tesla believes the NJMVC is trying to stealthily approve later today at a meeting in Trenton, NJ at 2pm EDT, would mandate strict licensing laws requiring all new cars sold within the state to be done so via a third-party, independent franchised dealership. These dealerships would be required by law to have no corporate links to the automakers whose cars they sold, making it impossible for Tesla’s existing business model of selling directly to its customers to continue. In other words, if customers want a Tesla, they have to pay the dealer first, effectively constructing another state sanctioned monopoly in favor of car dealers, and restricting competition among automakers. This from an administration that prides itself in championing the free market. But again no real surprise here. After all as Rockefeller so astutely noted competition is a sin! https://m.facebook/photo.php?fbid=10203200375831390&id=1268067052&set=a.10203200375031370.1073741826.1268067052
