New York Moves to Shutter Tesla Dealerships in Blow to Musk

New York Senator Patricia Fahy used to be on Tesla’s side until Elon Musk joined forces with Trump.

Lawmakers in New York state are moving to shut down Elon Musk’s Tesla dealerships in yet another blow to the billionaire CEO.

New York State Sen. Patricia Fahy and other lawmakers are fighting to remove a waiver that allows Tesla to operate five in-person dealerships in New York, instead forcing the company to sell their vehicles through dealer franchises, The New York Times reported Sunday.

“No matter what we do, we’ve got to take this from Elon Musk,” Fahy said in March when she first introduced the bill against Tesla. “He’s part of an effort to go backwards.”

She wants the company to relinquish its 5 licenses and instead distribute them to other EV manufacturers, such as Rivian, Scout Motors, and Lucid.

    Dude there are so many better ways to attack Musk than risking terrible optics/precedent to close five Tesla dealerships.

    Flimsy attempts to shut down a few dealerships that will have little to no impact on his life does nothing to solve the above.

    You feel the need to keep making statements like “my desire to see the same exact result they’re going for here” yet the above quotes are yours. Who are you trying to convince?

    You try and accuse me of personal attacks then do the same I have no mental image of you, I’m only responding to the nonsense you’ve been putting out.
