- vvanders 12y agoThey could easily add an exception for companies that don't distribute through dealership(which has happened in other states) but I doubt you'll see it any time soon.
- dstein64 12y agoThe TechCrunch article mentions a recent law: "The state’s governor signed a law last October that banned the company from selling its vehicles directly to consumers."
- netcan 12y agoMy bad. I somehow read it as a case last year, not a new law.
- bskap 12y agoIn a lot of states (not sure about Michigan specifically), the law was "if you have any dealers in the state, you can't sell direct". The dealers are trying to change that to "you can't sell direct" to block Tesla.
