Tesla Motors is the first successful American car company in over 80 years. With a market valuation of $30 billion, this 100% American car company has successfully created a revolution in energy and vehicle manufacturing, bringing innovation and jobs to America.
The national dealer lobby has tried to shut down Tesla's direct to consumer model in every state, despite the overwhelming majority of consumers preferring Tesla's direct to consumer model. The free market should allow consumers a choice. Innovation has always been the cornerstone of free enterprise. When innovation is impeded by preserving archaic laws and protecting middle men, progress is halted. Lobbying efforts should not derail American innovation. This is a perversion of democracy.
