Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers 510
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.'"

I'm confused. Tesla don't provide any options at all for their EV? How about clarifying this with a car analogy?

And yet you failed to read the mentioned other chapters, which link again to even more chapters, which shows that you're totally fucking wrong, because electric motors don't even fall under the 'Alternative fuel Vehicles" because the legal definition of FUEL in the state.
Try again when you can read all of the laws and understand them, and not take just one into account, eh?
