This would be the only reason I would want it voted down / vetoed. If you enable this for electric, it should be enabled for every other car manufacturer.
1) I am still waiting for the equivalent of a "gas tax" on energy used by electric cars to pay for the roads
I hope you're right, but actions are what counts.
As to the rest, I am seriously sick of people using the law as their own weapon against others. A tax break here, a special rule there, and we as voters and consumers lose because there are more law on the books than we need.
These laws originally made sense for car manufacturers that first completely delegated selling and service to dealerships and then tried to undercut them with factory discounts and other things.
The problem here is that Tesla never had any dealerships and does not intent to start any either. So none of these laws should apply to them.
> Every other car manufacturer with no dealerships.
The proposed law doesn't say anything like that.
But you obviously lack any insight into the topic at hand and are just feeding off your "more exceptions!11" reflex. That does not a good discussion make.
I didn't find it that obvious of an extension. If there is a "little sparkle of sense and justification in dealership laws" then the same argument should apply to Tesla and the only justification you give is that they don't currently have dealerships.
