NY Targets Tesla Dealerships in Blow to Musk
New York lawmakers, led by Senator Patricia Fahy, are seeking to revoke Tesla’s dealership waiver, forcing the company to sell through franchises instead of directly. This action stems from a shift in opinion following Elon Musk’s alignment with the Trump administration and its perceived anti-environmental policies. The bill aims to redistribute Tesla’s licenses to other EV manufacturers, reflecting a reversal of previous support for Tesla’s direct sales model. The proposed legislation is currently awaiting consideration by the Senate and Assembly finance committees.
