proposing a bill that would bar direct automaker-to-customer sales within
the state, the Raleigh News & Observer reports. Still, Tesla says plans to
open a showroom there and has sold about 80 cars to North Carolina residents
, with reservations for about 60 more.
According to Slate, a bill pushed by the state's Senate Commerce Committee
– and backed, of course, by the North Carolina Automobile Dealers
Association (NCADA) – would not only prevent Tesla from opening a showroom
in North Carolina, it would go as far as banning Internet vehicle sales in
the Tar Heel state. We're not sure how that would be enforced, but it would
certainly crimp the success Tesla has had without using the traditional
industry dealer distribution model. The bill is sponsored by state Sen. Tom
Apodaca (R), who claims the goal is to stop unfair competition between
manufacturers and dealers (as Slate notes, Apodaca also received $8,000 from
the NCADA last year, the most allowed by law). Tesla's vice president for
corporate and business development, Diarmuid O'Connell, argues that the bill
is "a protectionist move to lock down the market so we have to go through
the middleman – the dealer – to sell our cars."
Texas, Massachusetts, Minnesota and New York are among states that have so
far taken issue with Tesla's dealer-free distribution model, prompting Musk
to say last month that he'd consider going to Congress to try and get
factory-to-customer sales legalized throughout the country. Musk is likely
emboldened by the fact that Tesla earned its first quarterly profit this
year and sold more of its Model S electric vehicles than General Motors and
Nissan did of their Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in and Leaf EV,
respectively. | C**T
