For the second year in a row, Tesla tried to pass a bill sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff, D-Norwalk in Connecticut, to allow the sale of electric vehicles directly to consumers without having to go through the franchise dealerships model. Last week, the bill SB3 was in consideration and awaiting a vote in the state Senate, but it is now officially dead following an impressive lobbying campaign led by GM and the local dealership association.
GM is blocking the approval of this bill because they are afraid of competition. This is America and its time for the consumers to speak up against this and allow Tesla to come to Connecticut, create jobs and grow our economy. We the people, demand that corporate greed not stand in the way of American Innovation.
