Tesla Aims To Expand Direct Sales In New York
Posted On: January 21, 2022

The war between Tesla and the powerful auto dealers’ groups drags on. At the moment, the situation varies widely from one U.S. state to another, some states allow Tesla to sell cars directly to consumers, some prohibit it, and some have reached some sort of compromise. The latest skirmish is taking place in New York, where Tesla is launching a new campaign to convince the governor and legislature to expand direct sales. The company is using its Tesla Engage platform to mobilize local owners’ clubs and other supporters to contact their elected representatives and make Tesla’s case. New York is one of the states that have opted for an awkward compromise. In 2014, the state changed its laws to allow Tesla to open five stores. As the company’s sales have grown, those five are hardly sufficient, and Tesla has tried to persuade lawmakers to allow it to open more, so far without success.

My Take: The dealership model has to go. It only protects dealers and leaves the consumers in the wind.
