Chris Christie Goes Back On His Word, Bypasses Legislature to Ban Tesla Sales

[zerozero]

this move is actually meant to protect consumers....

I'm not saying they're necessary but why don't other manufacturers sell directly to the consumer?

maybe that's where you're head should have started then done more research why it's that way. instead of about sh1t you know nothing about..

So why is it so important that cars be sold through a dealer? The National Automobile Dealers Association would tell you that it’s the high price or the complexity of the machine or that dealers protect consumers. All those arguments are specious. The real reason is the same one that underlies all legislation that restricts trade or limits competition: It’s good for the industry. Consumers get hurt, but since most lobbyists work for businesses (and not consumers), those are the folks to whom legislators kowtow.

Could they really stop you from getting a car outta state and bringing it back if you purchased it there?

This guy is corrupt as they come. day by day.... Why are they fukking afraid of an electric car. that shyt still costs 50k!?

There are a couple places in NY and PA where you can arrange to purchase the vehicle.

Lobbyists have their jobs, constituents have their job.

His fat ass is against the ropes now...and i dont think he gives a fukk about a deal he had for Tesla anymore now that his political career is done

Fukk Christie and the horse that chump rode in on

 

[Slystallion]

fukk that fat corrupt piece of shyt...no matter if your a democrat or republican politics is about who pays the piper the most fukk this mob shyt

 

[Slystallion]

lets not forget he's not going to continue to expand the medical marijuana program. I saw some thing on CNN last night about there are kids who even need it to stop seizures from occurring.

This fat fukk won't make it out of the primaries if he even tries to run ...he's on that Bloomberg dumb fukk list to me now

does any other manufacturer deal directly to the public? ....No.

Its an archaic way of doing business and makes the cars more expensive because there is a middle man

it does noting to protect consumers

well there's obviously a reason they banned it. I think dealers buying wholesale would help with price, no? but the article i posted seems to say it's causes a lot of carrying costs.

I have to say this is the third strike with Christie, I was actually leaning Christie, but this, the bridge closing and also turning down some bridge or tunnel that was gonna get built is over the line

you have emerged as perhaps one of the biggest overlooked idiots on this site. It is quite amazing watching your transformation on the boards from a once sensible poster to someone that sounds like they have a brain feed from fox news.

Breh this is very naive. Just because a market is regulated against new entrants doesn't mean there's a good reason beyond protecting monopolistic interests

You didn't answer my question. What is the reason they banned it in all 50 states? and they did this during the Henry Ford years as well. You don't think Henry Ford would of been against this?

what is the monopolistic nature of car dealerships? theres over 20,000 of them

What is the logic in this exactly? That Tesla will try to to take advantage of consumers through financing or am I missing something?
