Allow automakers to sell cars direct in any state, with set state guidelines and requirements. Allow market competition.

It is concerning to learn that automakers like Tesla are not allowed to sell cars directly to consumers. Why do we need to prevent competition in this day and age? I do understand consumer protection was necessary in the past. We still can have that today, such as setting up bond requirements, guidelines, etc. However, do not punish the consumers in the name of consumer protection
