      Honestly this is the wrong approach. It’s the same kind of targeted legislating that Trump does. The Democrats in the NY legislature should be better.

      The better response is to *open up* the NY market to allow any car company to sell outside of dealer franchises. Take away Tesla’s competitive advantage without shutting it down.

      The American car sales model is kind of stupid anyways, no reason to prop it up.

      In florida they closed down apartment complexes for too much neighborhood disturbance and cops being called

      This is a lot less about current politics and more about car dealers lobbying to stop direct sales.

      Also, Musk used to BRAG about never having to set up dealer networks and that everyone would just buy online. What happened?

      NY should demand that Musk personally send them an email every day detailing five things Tesla did for NY that day.

      If he misses a day or a bullet point, then they fire Tesla from the state.

      All part of state efficiency you know.

      I hate Musk but forcing cars to be sold via dealers sucks for the consumer regardless. Just bullshit markup.

      Welp, that’s taking a bad situation and making it worse.

      Should people boycott Tesla? Absolutely. Should the government inject itself into private industry because of the political leanings of the owner? Absolutely not.

      This is setting a dumb precedent and will do more harm than good in the long run. It doesn’t really deal much of a blow to Tesla, whose stock is up 25% in the last week after their sales dropping 70% and not even hitting 20% of their cybertruck sales target for last year. Institutional investors are holding on to the stock and making small selective buys to keep the price high. Elon has been using Tesla stock as his own private currency and so much money is tied up in it that it’s too big to fail. This petty move does nothing to materially affect his core wealth, but it opens a pandora’s box of blatantly partisan government permitting. *Don’t do it.*

      I can’t stand these Daily Beast articles. You can’t read them without an account. That’s absolutely shit behavior

      I think the dealer thing – not unlike how alcohol sales work – is stupid.

      But Tesla has been skirting laws. Either change those because throwing money at lawyers or paying a fine that is a fraction of doing business doesn’t make for fair competition.

      Especially if you are sabotaging enforcement agencies to ensure rules are for “thee and not me”.

      (And just check out all the firing of IGs after musk’s special treatment by the current federal gov)

      Tesla doesn’t have dealerships. They have Service Centers. You order the car online and then pick it up at the SC. The SC also does all service work. Closing those hurts current owners, not Musk. People can still order a car and pick it up out of state. That’s what people do where you can’t sell direct.

      I wish lawmakers would stop pussy-footing around and acting like electric cars are going to move the needle when it comes to climate change.

      We need bold action and investment in de-car-ifying our society and making it so people aren’t forced to drive a pollution machine to complete their daily tasks.

      We need bold investment in density, walkability, and transit infrastructure.
