Agree. A waste of time, let them melt down on their own. Go after healthcare legislation that might actually help.

Probably not legal, bit worth a try. Better than a little paddle sign at the SOTU.

Proof that Democrats can be as stupid as Republicans

I don't think this can happen because it violates interstate commerce laws that no state can violate.

No one thought DOGE could do what it's done. Let Elmo fight it out in court.

I hope she is successful!

I don’t know that this is the right move. The company is crushing itself all on its own and it’s the kind of thing trump would do.

Musk bribing people? Oh, he’s definitely about to run a Twitter poll: 🗳️ “Is it a bribe or just a friendly billionaire tip?” — Yes (gets deleted) — No (gets pinned)

I believe he’s rescinded this money antic due to a law suit filed.

"A Wisconsin judge declined to stop billionaire Elon Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters in the state at a planned rally days before the closely contested Supreme Court election. The state attorney general immediately appealed after the judge refused to hear the request."

I sadly stand corrected

Bills that’s require a state to defend a needless and obviously losing cause help no one.

💪

Yes!!!!

I would rather see the boycott of brands to be a consumer's choice. I'm not especially happy with the idea of the government restricting the market. // on that note: screw Tesla and Musk, but by choice, not by law

No thanks. We want the pleasure of taking Elon down ourselves. Boycott Tesla!!!!

They should BAN anything associated with muskRAT !!!

Well, they are a hazard. 🤷‍♂️

Do not be surprised if there isn’t a wanted ad for Patricia Fehy by the snowflakes in the current administration. They want to charge people with treason, if they hurt Elon Musk’s feelings!

Unlike them, we strive for excellence for the people, not foolishness like the GOP. By the way she have better resources.

For example, Dealer Parity Fee, Service and Warranty Contribution Tax, EV Transition Incentives for Traditional Dealers, or Graduated Taxation, where newer EV companies receive a grace period until they reach a predetermined market share.

Not necessary- do work that matters to New Yorkers- not just payback politics.

She’s my representative! Go Pat! 👏 👏👏👏

Explain the thinking. Why is this ok in America?

If you don’t understand I am sorry.

I'm sure Leon is going to have some big feels about that, oh well 😂😂😂

Lmao, do it !

They can’t be sold in South Carolina, the law is a little more convoluted but the goal is the same, it blocks Tesla electric vehicle sales and service. Funny of things have turned.

I get the idea, but what happens when other states follow suit and ban other companies they see as "woke"?

#tesladefender #pearlcluther

NO BAN, let consumers choose. They know what type of person he is! People who buy a brand new one, everyone will know who they are too! There are more really good EV brands out there that outdo this one;

That's all true, but Tesla sells directly while no other car manufacturer can. THAT'S what this law is about.

Tesla doesn't have dealerships. They only sell direct to the consumer.

www.syracuse.com/politics/202...

👏👏👏 Hopefully Massachusetts will too.

www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/pre...

I do worry about the sales people, repair techs, etc. Hopefully they can get a job elsewhere.

Maybe they can get with all the people Musk fired and form a class action lawsuit against him for causing them all to be terminated!

Great idea

In my state, MO, that would not work. We are a right to work state. Anyone can be fired for any reason at any time. If you are not part of a union then you are screwed. Tesla is nonunion. 🤦‍♀️

See this is the stupid shit Democrats need to avoid doing Government should never target individual businesses like this

I think it is about taking away Tesla exceptions. All car manufacturers sell cars through independent parties. But Tesla has exceptions to sell directly.

He’s a terrorist. We should allow him to run his business here so he can continue to make money while terrorizing us? No way,his citizenship should be revoked, and he should be deported.

So do exactly what Trump is doing using the exact same rationale Nope-

I do not negotiate with terrorists. He also recently committed a felony, we don’t want his kind here in our country, nor operating a business and getting tax subsidies!

I hate the guy too. But acting like Trump isn’t the answer. Tesla is a dead company. The only way it can be save it is Elon to fully divest & trash the company. The state of NY doesn’t need to go fascist to kill it

Barring terrorists from owning businesses in your state is not fascist. Your attitude is why we are where we are.

Government targeting individual businesses because of political beliefs is a core of fascism

He is a terrorist. So you would allow Osama bin Laden to operate a business here, great. America land of the free where you can destroy the government, be a foreign born terrorist, and still operate a business and get tax breaks. Do you understand this is perverted and wrong? Apparently you don’t.

How is Elon Musk a terrorist? I feel like I'm living in the twilight zone. Words have meanings.

He currently owns the person who could revoke it.

And you also have people like the owner of this thread believing this terrorist should not have everything taken from him and his business should not be shut down. This is why we are here! Other countries do not put up with this shit or operate this way.

Then find a law he’s broken, get a grand jury indictment, and prosecute him. You know give him Due Process.

This should have been done long ago. The way our country operated, even before DT, is highly flawed & caters to businesses and property over the welfare of actual people and the health of the nation. This is not sustainable and is blatantly apparent, & you want to just continue down the same path.

I agree with you that we need to end the 2 tier justice system.

Elon should not even exist in his current form, same with DT, and have this power. It needs to end. The law is not absolute, it is nuanced. Canada is making the right steps by financially ridding themselves of his business presence. Are the other businesses with ppl who follow the laws scared? No.

Honestly what are you fighting for?

I’m fighting for the rule of law being enforced&criminals being held accountable¬ being allowed to own&operate businesses here if they cannot follow our laws or act ethically. Decades of not following this standard causes what you see right now. I don’t want to keep going down this path!

Yes I am aware. In a functioning government/democracy these two terrorists would have been behind bars long ago. But we don’t have that.

True. It's a shame we had a useless AG for 4 years.

That’s too much. I mean, people should be able to waste money in swaskticars if it fits their brand. IMO

They are very dangerous. If you drive over dry pine needles it will catch on fire. It happened here in the mountains in CA.

A study by iSeeCars found that "Tesla vehicles have a higher fatal accident rate than the industry average, with a rate of 5.6 fatalities per billion miles driven, compared to the national average of 2.8." www.roadandtrack.com/news/a629191...

Pat Fahey is fighting fascism in the streets with us!!!

😲

ha ha ha yes we need more of this!

BTW, Happy PUNCH A NAZI DAY to all who celebrate! EVERYDAY is PUNCH A NAZI DAY! 👊👍

Please post video of you performing this service.

Awww your a DOTUS lover...how sweet.

Actually, I’m certain that @jrasputin2013.bsky.social has never punched a Nazi. J could likely not actually identify a modern day Nazi if a life depended on it.

Sounds highly illegal. Just don't buy the f'n cars or trucks.

#DeportMusk

Hahahaha!! Way to go Patty!

It’s a Tesloss!

Is that legal?

Yaaaay!!

www.syracuse.com/politics/202...

Fantastic idea, hope it's implemented.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

👏👏👏👏👏

I love it!

New York should ban X on their entire state...

While I agree that we should let consumers "deal with" Elon via Tesla, it doesn't hurt to treat him like trump is treating America. Issuing nonstop EO's designed to keep us guessing and confused. If lawmakers all over America want to submit or enact all kinds of different laws that keep musk busy?

The pinky is real. The third eye he's hiding with his hands definitely makes him an alien. An ILLEGAL alien.

YES!!! I LIVE HERE! YES PLEASE 🙏

Hooray!

That seems like overreach. I think the protests are working fine.

Ok, not for anything but this goes too far, and only plays into MAGA’s perpetual victim mentality. Let there be dealerships and the public decide to buy or not which based on Tesla’s stock performance of late is a resounding ‘no’ !

I think the goal is preventing monopolies. It's one of the reasons most other car manufacturers use dealerships run by Independent parties. I fully approve. They should be forced to franchise dealerships like everyone else.

This doesn’t make sense to me. Tesla doesn’t have a monopoly on cars and trucks. We are all free to purchase other types of vehicles. I have never been forced to buy or own a Tesla so that I could have a car or truck. And I have never owned a Tesla. Have you been forced to buy a Tesla? 🤔

FAFO

How much are local police costing to defend tesla from the citizens?

Let’s go NY!

Yeah but not until 2026. It should be NOW!

Yes!

Why? Let him find out no one will buy them. Waste the money on a dealership, and go out of business.

Much better. More effective messaging without being petty. There are better laws to be made than outlawing Tesla dealerships.

How can you ban a legitimate business?

Look up how they are banned in WI. It was a coincidence there, law before TSLA.

Why bother? Have looked at Ford and Toyota lately? $14K with better tech and faster charge time, Tesla will have to scramble to keep the doors open.

I'm on board with that 💯👍

I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests on Saturday, April 5th. If anyone wants a printable file of it, please message me : ) Find out more about the protests here: www.mobilize.us/handsoff/

I say, let Tesla have dealerships, it’s up to us, not to buy. Period.

Exactly- you don’t fight fascism by being fascist.

How is banning a dangerous vehicle from being sold in your state fascism? Teslas have failed all sorts of safety standards.

Poignant point.💥

Precisely. Ban the dealership, they become a martyr of government overreach.

I'd maybe agree if the vehicles were safe, but the cybertruck for example is dangerous to drive. After things are sorted out politically I'd like more standards and regulations for vehicles. So, the shoddy product + Musk having too much power for one man, dealerships should be shut down imo.

Umm, I don't think it'll happen.

Enough talk, just do it!

AND THAT'S ONE WAY YOU SHUT THE SHIT SHOW DOWN, NOW SHUTDOWN ALL CHEETO OWNED SHIT

YAY !!!!👏🏻👏🏽👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿

youtube.com/playlist?lis...

TESLA STOCK HAS DROPPED 50% ELON MUSK AND TESLA HAVE CREATED A NEW PRODUCT AND IT IS CALLED KARMA !

Disagree with this. He has a right to make an investment. It will create jobs. And we have a right to see him fail, lose $Billions when consumers reject the brand 🤠.

Geico is refusing to cover cyber truck - this could have other insurers following.

An eye for an eye? 🤔

Seems like a waste of time and I hate Tesla and Musk. I suspect there’s zero chance of success but I’m no expert.

Go for it.

Maybe every state in America, and every country around the world needs to follow suit.

I hate Tesla too. But why? On what logic?

Well, I don’t like musk or his companies, I also don’t agree with this.

I think it is about taking away Tesla exceptions. All car manufacturers sell cars through independent parties. But Tesla has exceptions to sell directly.

A lot of the electric car companies sell directly, lucid, polestar, Rivian to name a few

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Overpriced, glued together fire boxes are also a Nazi symbol. Boycott that shit.

That's not what the bill would actually do.

As much as I can't stand Elon and what is happening, I would rather see her put in legislation that protects her citizens from the privacy violation or specific actions the administration is taking illegally. The government attacking a business because we don't like the owner is what THEY do.

“What they do”, please stop with that shit. It isn’t a thing anymore. Grow some canines and BITE or be bitten. Also, both things can be done. Legislation against Elon and his horrible businesses and products as well as protections for citizens of New York. You don’t have to chose.

I agree. This is short sighted legislation with big repercussions. I despise Elon and all he stands for but let the market dispose of Tesla and demand no govt subsidies to bail his obscenely rich ass out. Handle the imperative issues.

Consider this: bsky.app/profile/cher...

Elon Musk ran away from responsibility. In S. Africa, he was required to serve in their military. He got a student visa to Canada, to evade service. From there, 5 months in, he'd dropped school & became a dual citizen before the US.

She worries about the safety of her constituents

Preserve the 1st amendment rights to use: - free speech to educate the public on why they don't want his products and - freedom of assembly to protest his interference in the government And let him go bankrupt the old-fashioned way.

Chuck? Chuck? Senator Schumer is that you?

Correct. Let the market decide. And the market will decide there are much nicer, non-exploding cars to be had.

You can always travel to another state if you’re so desperate for a tin can car People in Jersey go to Pa all the time for cars Id be happy if we didn’t have them here

I'm still ashamed I went all in with emojis for 48 hours.

💯

I agree. It’s a free market. Just don’t buy his cars and get off of X

It’s also a faulty and flawed product. Screw the free market, fn Schumer dem. 🤮

We have much bigger things to focus energy on

Only way to make Elon go away is it hurt him and Tesla, and to hurt them bad. That’s just a fact. No more normal playing field. Hit them in their wallet, that’s the only thing that matters to them. This legislation does that, while their bigger fish to fry, Elon is tippy top of that list. He goes..

there are** a bunch of spelling and grammar errors. Must’ve been a little baked!! Oh well, point rings true.

So does DOGE.

100% Muskrat has used the monies,the stock from Telsa to buy other acquisitions, and to interfere in elections world wide. Destroy Telsa it's his cash cow, it's beginning to have an effect.Telsa stock is down 50% since 12/24 & he lost 132B dollars, that's why trump turned the WH LAWN

2. Into car trying to get people to buy Telsas. All Telsa Trucks have been recalled, because the front fender was just held together with glue, they're boycotting him in Europe, pension funds are divesting them from portfolio. Sales down as much as 76 % in Europe I say decimate Telsa, bankrupt him.

And it proves the fascists right, makes them victims. They get more power using the victim card. Better for there to be dealerships, and for the citizens of New York to say fuck you, and not buy them.

I agree. And once he's charged with crimes, then remove his right to do business in the state...but start with stopping him and proving him a criminal.

States have the right to set the rules of doing business within its jurisdiction. And those rules would apply to all businesses, presumably.

Indeed all other car manufacturers have to franchise a dealership. That's why you have you know Joe Schmo Ford and Billy Bob Honda and so forth.

Hive intelligence, ladies and gents :)

So no EVs at all? Hmmm.

I haven't read the proposed law, so I couldn't say

P.S. I have zero tolerance and patience for obtuse people who insist—without having read the proposed law, no doubt—that the law, on its face, would be targeting a business for its politics. That would be a a government action in clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

That’s fair

Yes, and once he loses Tesla, we can go back to buying EVs. I kinda hate that some are lumping Teslas in with nazis. We need EVs now more than ever.

Plenty of non Tesla EV options.

Not enough. And certain not American made.

It doesn’t. Tesla has a weird carve out under New York law that allows it to operate through a broker. They are the only company with that privilege. Why should Tesla have an exclusive competitive advantage over every other car company?

💯

bsky.app/profile/cher...

She's only trying to protect her constituents.

#tesladefender

Everyone wants the dems to fight using the governing powers they still have. When they do we smack them down. smh

Exactly! Make them fail! It is up to consumers, however. The government is there to regulate their product.

🩷 True. Once business is attacked for being a business then we lose good investors who would try in the market. We the people need to make good life choices when we buy products. Bad businesses fail over time and good businesses thrive when they meet our needs.

Looks like you think similar to Chuck Schumer. To me time is of the essence so there is no time for overthinking this and waiting for them to self destruct. Speedy responses are what are required now. Privacy violations the courts can take care of.

So…pitchforks? I still don’t support legislation that pressures political adversaries no matter how repugnant. On either side

If only MAGA were as sincere as you in their beliefs. Sadly their beliefs are warped. Probably too late for pitchforks. Madame Guillotine might be required. Anyway at least we can agree to disagree.

Hypothetically, would you think it OK if Hilter were to open an Art Gallery to sell his paintings? He was a talented oil painter, after all, so why not? Elon Musk is doing terrible things to people. Imo everything should be done to stop him.

Boycott his businesses, take him to court. Hitler was proven to have committed crimes against humanity. Make the case against Musk and the ban him as a criminal.

Yes, do it all.

You’re right about all this except, what “they do”’is working! Dems need to stop trying to play by rules that the MAGA party pisses and shits on. FUCK reaching across the aisle! We need to hit them everywhere we can. So doing what you’re talking about AND banning Tesla.

Some of it works, but only halfway... Trump attacks companies and uses Pay to Play bribery. It's working, but if our court systems work it will be stopped. If not, he's going to piss of all of his fans eventually. I do not support any governmental attacks on a business for political power.

Tesla is no longer a private non partisan business. It is now a tool of hostile evil forces destroying the country. We have every right to protect ourselves from evil forces. #teslatakedown.

People struggle to understand that idea. Not to mention how horrible and recalled his products are, puts people at harm.

We tried going low to counter the communists in several countries. You don't defeat evil by practicing evil. Then what's the difference between them and us?

The US has defeated evil by practicing evil MANY times! WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq/Saddam. I am NOT a violent person. For our whole lives they said violence isn’t the answer. How many battle have been won by playing nice and “reaching across the aisle” lately!?

This.

There’s an idea!

Hope other states fallow 😡😡

I think consumers are handling this. This proposal to legislate is more performance than legal action. I’m tired of this kind of inaction action.

Exactly. Democrats have no vision. Fighting petty corrupt people by also being petty & corrupt is not a winning strategy.

I'll take any and all kinds of action. We need everyone on board to stop this

This turns off Independents and voters who sit out Election Day because they’re sick of the shenanigans. We need these people to vote blue.

Which? I’m a Dem and I’m disgusted with the wimpy inaction of our elected representatives. I’m not impressed by paper pushing, get out and show us. Like AOC and Bernie. Did I mention that I’m a Democrat!

Look what happened when they were turned off the last time,we got trump & musk. They better get used to anything that goes bcs we need any and all help to get rid of these assholes and if this hurts in his wallet or stockholders then bring it on. I'm kind of sick of the don't tread on independents

They weren't turned off the last time, nor did they sit out the election. They showed up and voted for Trump.

Nearly half the country sat it out. Others believed Trump’s lies about lowering prices I spite of his talk about tariffs. He won with less than 50% of the vote.

I question the win.

Me too. Will never believe he won without cheating.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but the thought has crossed my mind. I would need evidence.

Too late for physical evidence probably. DOGE in the house. But tfg has commented on it twice.

Me too, I'm tired of "don't tread on independents." Sadly, the statement makes sense. These people's brains don't work like you think! BTW, they always hold Democrats to a higher standard than Republicans. Anyone who hasn't noticed is surely not paying attention to the details of US politics.

Democrats hold themselves to higher standards than Republicans. Sadly, that's not saying much.

The government banning a company from doing business in a state because the CEO is a piece of shit is likely illegal. If an investigation into Tesla reveals fraud or business malpractice, NY could bar them. (based on what happened with the Trump org).

I agree. It's performance. I don't know if it's even legal. This is a perfect example of a legislator who is more for getting her name out there than for the work of governing. Sadly, there are a lot of them.

Exactly.

You don’t see other CEOs getting as involved in gov as Musky where it is bad for everyone. This is unique because of how Involved Musk is in gov and how many conflicts of interests there are. Any action to take down Musk spec, go for it. He can’t have everything and that should be the lesson.

I don’t actually think it’s possible. I’m not a lawyer but I think you can ban products for being unsafe, but I don’t think you can ban a company like this. Yes - let consumers handle it. It’s working.

That’s dumb, and unconstitutional.

This is dumb. Please don't give them this talking point.

👏🔥👏

Do it 👏

Shut it down !! Eliminate all tax credits for Tesla cars, crush that fu—ing company and bankrupt Elon Mush !!!

That would hurt ALL EV purchases. Not sure I love the idea.

take away any socialist perks from the fed government. we pay Tesla and Space ex billions that has to stop

That would be good

Hey, if Trump can ban law firms...

How about California? Does he have exceptions there?

What a dumb move. Just let the market decide. It’s working as it should. Why do these idiots keep shooting themselves in the foot? They continue to give clown republicans the chance to show overreach.

Playing to audience. Not solving the problem and harmful to voters' TRUST.

YES YES YES

🙏💙

Unfortunately, we have these turds that won’t flush out in Nassau and Suffolk County.

That's not needed, the market is doing a good enough job...

I like it!!

I hope it passes. But, if it does, can the people libs compete against do it to a more liberal company? My take: Precedent may be worse than T-el-sa dealerships. I say let them keep the dealerships and encourage everyone to boycott. Bankruptcy is better than banning.

In case things turn south, New York state is welcome to consider leaving the Not so United States of America, and join EU.

Can they do something meaningful? Less performance more backbone

Read the article.

I like this

I’m 💯 behind her! I’m a NYer!

Introduce legislation to gerrymander New York to get as many democratic seats out of there as possible.

👍🏻😂😂😂

Soooo, climate alarms are just that. #climatescam make it make sense.

Hooray!

LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!!

There's a difference between "dealerships" where sales take place and "showrooms," where you test drive, but order online. Both would have to be banned. Semantics.

Want to not stoop to their tactics if possible. Like the motive though, but do things by taking the high road?

No. If we're gonna fight the pigs, getting into the pigpen is imperative. That means getting down and dirty.

But hopefully some respect and kindness

Why not? Reason: the most unsafe car on the market, and it puts lives at risk.

What's your source for that claim? I think Teslas are actually the safest cars. Crash tests, driver safety, emissions impacts of GHGs. I dislike elon's politics right now too but Teslas are safe.

The key here is the phrase “I think.” You can think anything you want, but it doesn’t make it true. Look to the data actual evidence. Research it.

If we had this much effort against trump

Here in BC Vancouver police are assigning 130 police to guard Tesla dealerships during the protests this weekend. 28 Teslas have been vandalized this year in what police say is probably for political reasons. Their sales in Europe are down 75%.

What a waste of taxpayers' resources. I hope they are charging them for private security.

As much as I dislike Tesla and I did not call the police when I saw one get vandalized they the police are supposed to protect public property. Would not be the first time VPD over reacted they did so with Canucks rink security and the crackdown on liquor at the fireworks.

Why is Trump getting a pass?

👏👏

This is an incredibly bad idea. And I’m a hardcore liberal who hates Musk.

Not far enough. Musk also needs to be deported for treason

I agree 100%, but apparently the original post misstates what the proposed law would actually do.

Yes it does. A rather stupid use of unintentional fake news.

Read the bill (or other comments). Meme is incorrectly stating what the bill would do. Tesla has a monopoly and the bill wants to review the law that is keeping others out.

Texas did it ….. you can buy a Tesla in Texas, but due to Texas franchise laws, you can't do so directly from Tesla's company-owned outlets; instead, you must order online and have the vehicle shipped to a service center in the state

Sounds like counterproductive hypocrisy. We don't need any of this.

Wrong. Musk is evil, no doubt about it. But this sounds like a play the Felon would make. Nope.

She should also ban magatz/nazis.

I'm no fan of Tesla, but I don't see why they need to go that far.

Maybe a lot of Jewish families live in New York an remember what their many families had to deal with in their history.

@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social let s do this for MA!

Yeah, it's a safety hazard. It's the new Toaster Oven, on wheels!!

They should be banned in all states for being defective and having shady assembly processes that disregards quality and safety.

They're already banned in Texas. But that was a holdover from a era ten years ago when the Texas Lege decided they did not want online sales of cars and did not like how electric cars were too "woke" and threatened the oil industry...

That's just dumb.

It would be a great start…49 states to go

They write dumb shit, stupid anti-constitutional laws so why not?

❤️

While you could not pay me to drive a tesla, I would rather they introduce legislation to protect voting rights, or school lunch programs, or public libraries, or women's reproductive rights, or LGBTQ rights, or the rights and benefits of our military and veterans, or our our freedom of speech...

no reason why not do all of these not an either/or situation. but taking away money and power work on all those things

Yes, you're right, why not do all these things? So...are they? If so, not hearing about it. All I see here is the banning of tesla dealerships, which should be around number 5,254 on the list of important things to legislate.

Yes, Democrats in the New York state legislature have done or are trying to do pretty much all of these things. They're not going to get as much sensationalist press as an attempt to hit back at Musk, but they do get local press coverage if you know where to look. I wish the coverage were better.

i sure hope they are write to you congress people park outside their office make a lot of noise and do some civil disobedience. as it stands now we have no rule of law

just because you are not hearing about things.. have you heard of Bernie Sanders doing all s

Yes, Bernie and AOC and Crockett are all speaking up, and doing a wonderful job at it! So where's the rest of the dems? Jeez, I sure hope they're doing a lot of things we aren't hearing about. Because we're kind of in a 18-alarm fire right now.

i know I agree, all Dems need to take action like those 3

Casar is speaking up. Blue in TX

Life is but a dream ✨️

Bring the pain

Damn, what a pinky 😁

Is musk pinky real or AI?

is human suit is not pulled on all the way.

I can't imagine what would make somebody's pinky as long as the longest finger on their hand except Ai or he's a freak of nature, which hey, he may be...?

AI.

Even in real life he's AI

It is clearly ai

Yes, please do!!

👍👍👍

Looks appropriate.

Bankruptcy Elon Musk NO ONE wants he shit car or trash Can truck

1 - Tesla doesn't have dealerships, so this would likely be a ban on direct sales. 2 - I'd rather see them finally allow direct sales of other EV brands. Tesla is the ONLY one allowed to do this. Talk about special privilege. The AH can't even sell his cars without getting special treatment.

That's going a bit too far. Let the dealerships open. It's up to customers if they want to purchase a Tesla. The true foundation of America. Freedom.

Please.

Yes i asked Kathy hochul to do that 2 .months ago lol finally someone at least tried

They're illegal in Wisconsin for a round about way. They've been fighting the law for a decade now with no signs of winning.

Is this why he spent 💰 on Tuesday’s election there?

Probably. The last stop for the tesla case is the state court soon. Wisconsin requires third party dealerships to keep things fair and balanced as the law says. Musk/Tesla don't want to allow 3rd party sales even in one state.

Yep.

This is the reason there is tax inequality. Voters making between $578k and 10M are taxed like billionaires. Most of these are small businesses. Let's push Congress to create 2 new tax brackets. $500M & Above and $1B & Above. These should be treated special since they want to be special. Tax at 91%.

Yeah baby!

Restraint of trade???

Nice!! Probably illegal, but nice!

YES

But where does that end?

Yes!

Make it happen!

Wait for it....Elon will cry discrimination.

Silliness

Sounds like the very type of fascism that Democrats constantly complain about. The same type of conduct that marked the Biden years. It is the kind of thing that scares away new businesses from opening in states where this type of government exists.

What the original post said is actually completely inaccurate.

This is not entirely true. Fahy wants to issue a bill to end Tesla's monopolization over the ev market in New York. The bill will aim to foster competition and innovation in the marketplace, "revoking direct sales permits from five existing Tesla stores in New York.

TY for the context.

If passed, the New York bill would keep in place a five-store limit placed on direct sales locations, but would require the state’s DMV to re-evaluate existing permits and issue new ones, excluding Tesla, which currently holds all five of the available permits.

“This legislation provides controlled growth of New York’s ZEV market by not granting indefinite privileges to early entrants—currently, all five direct sales locations are located downstate and are operated by Tesla, Inc.

, which limits consumer choice and prevents other manufacturers from entering the market,” Fahy’s office writes in the release. “The bill would allow new manufacturers to enter the market and ensure that there is an opportunity to expand these locations geographically.”

Thank you for the complete and accurate information. The OP should have done the same. 👍

Np, we need more transparency, especially now more than ever.

Yeah we do, or everyone risks being accused of spreading fake news like the White House administration do, and nobody with any morals needs to go down that road.

Yesh!

⚡️⚡️

Swastikar dealers can go to the Bible belt... I'm sure all magaettes will be willing to buy them, while trading in their f250 at 14 miles to the gallon. Womp womp.

Ford Pinto was taken off the roads with FEWER explosions/fires than Tesla. MORE people have dies d/t Tesla related crashes and fires than Pinto. She has the right idea.

Banning Tesla dealerships in NY is stupid and probably illegal. Just let consumers do their job of not buying Teslas. The legislature should focus their efforts better.

Or, you could actually read the proposal *before* opening your mouth and looking like an ignorant clown.

You must be replying to the original poster, right? There was no linked source and he said what he said. It's not really worth my time to vet this one.
