Tesla blocked from selling cars in North Carolina
Tesla has been blocked from selling cars in North Carolina because North Carolina has a statute which states that no car manufacturer can sell directly to the public without a middle man. All Tesla products are sold direct, and other car dealers complained that it was a violation. The workaround would obviously be to set up a shell company to sell through.
OK, but I'd like to ask something then. Is there a law in North Carolina to prevent Apple from selling directly to people through Apple stores? PROBABLY NOT.
