New Jersey Removes Legal Impediment To Direct Tesla Sales
As reported by The Verge, the rule-makers of New Jersey have relented, and will now allow a slightly freer market for cars.
Almost exactly one year after it was banned from selling its cars directly in New Jersey, Tesla will be back in business in the Garden State. Governor Chris Christie signed into law a bill this afternoon that reversed last year's ban. The new legislation comes with some limits. Tesla can only open a total of four direct sale dealerships and has to operate at least one service center. But it's a major win following a heated war of words that saw Tesla CEO Elon Musk compare local dealers to a mafia protection racket subverting the democratic process.
Great point. The laws that prevented direct sales was done to protect the local dealers. Of course since Republicans believe that corporations are people, they hate small businesses since they consider them subhuman. That is the way of their kind. Christie has really screwed over small businesses in NJ with this crap. This shows he doesn't give a damn about the people.

Bullshit. When I bought mine, I bought it off of the lot. They had seven to pick from. Where in the hell did you ever get the idea that they don't keep inventory? They do. Why lie about it? What is your agenda? What do you hope to gain from spouting such lies? I guess you're just the typical Republican that hates electric cars so you attack them with lies. Well, we don't believe your kind. I know that is how you people do.
