Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers

An anonymous reader writes "Car dealers in New York and Massachusetts have filed a lawsuit that seeks to block Tesla from selling its pricey electric vehicles in those states. The dealers say they are defending state franchise laws, which require manufacturers to sell cars through dealers they do not own. Robert O'Koniewski of the Massachusetts State Automobile Dealers Association says, 'Those dealers are investing millions of dollars in their franchises to make sure they comply with their franchise agreements with the manufacturers. Tesla is choosing to ignore the law and then is choosing to play outside that system.'"

    If you think obama lowered spending you are SORELY mistaken.

    Neither of the two parties even proposes lowering spending. They only propose cuts to INCREASES in spending.

    There is a significant difference.

    How do you like your fictitious world?
