- wil421 13y agoReally you think the dealer unions didnt lobby to get tesla banned from selling in that state? From: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/03/chris_christie_blames_njs_controversial_tesla_ban_on_state_legislature.html http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/03/chris_christie_... "The state Motor Vehicle Commission last week unanimously passed a rule requiring franchised dealers to sell electric cars rather than allowing manufacturers to sell directly to customers as Tesla does at two showroom locations in New Jersey — at the Garden State Plaza and The Mall at Short Hills." >requiring franchised dealers And who is going to be franchising? The Unions will be. Maybe not in NJ but I gurantee other state's dealer unions are feeling the pressure that may come from tesla.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 13y agoThat's like calling the Chamber of Commerce a union.
- wil421 13y agoWho do think is putting pressure on these organizations?
- GFK_of_xmaspast 13y agoI'm going to need you to explain exactly why you think an association of otherwise independent and competing dealerships is a "union".
- wil421 13y agoThey may be called associations in some states. I don't think you can open a certain brand dealership in a state with going through them. Ford was trying to let customers order cars online and they would deliver it within a couple weeks or less to a Ford hub. Some states pushed them out before they could try it.
- njharman 13y agoBecause my anti-socialist upbringing taught me unions are bad. Therefor things I think are bad must be unions.
