propose legislation to Congress that protects the right of automotive companies to sell vehicles directly to customers.

Companies like Tesla Motors would like to sell their vehicles directly to customers, rather than through a dealership, a move that both they and many consumers say will make for a cheaper and more straightforward and pleasurable buying experience. Forty-eight states currently require manufacturers to sell their vehicles through dealerships. These laws make it so that consumers must pay more for vehicles and seem to assert that we are incapable of making our own decisions.
