> So Tesla is going to win because they can do something their competition is legally prohibited from doing? If it actually started to hurt existing automakers you would see those regulations disappear faster than you can say, 'protecting the American auto industry'. I'd like to introduce you to a giant lobbying organization called the NADA... [Edit] To flip that on you, the NADA has enacted laws that legally prevent Tesla from selling cars in certain states. But you know, the free market will sort all that out.
