Quote:

"From the state that brought you the nation's first ban on climate science comes another legislative gem: a bill that would prohibit automakers from selling their cars in the state.

The proposal, which the Raleigh News & Observer reports was unanimously approved by the state's Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday, would apply to all car manufacturers, but the intended target is clear."*

North Carolina lawmakers want to effectively ban Tesla, the electric car company, because of "unfair" competition. Of course, the bill is being pushed by the state automobile dealer's association and the bill's sponsor took the maximum amount of campaign contributions from that group. Lovely. John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) breaks it down.

Politicians on the take to kill off the free market system Sad

LOL

Franchise Laws Cheesy

The release of the Toyota 86 used an Internet direct model as well, didn't completely cut out the middlemen but broke into their profits. No doubt car dealers like taxi companies are going to have get used to the fact that the Internet has allowed other means of business and overcome and adapt or get bypassed.

It was like when they banned the TV series about Gangsters in Victoria but in some border towns it was literally available on the other side of the road.

Buy your Tesla interstate and deny the state the applicable taxes. That will end this little broohaha.
