Can't beat Tesla in court, so they look to Albany.
Well, this is a new tactic we haven't seen before in the fight between franchised auto dealers and Tesla Motors , the Silicon Valley electric-car startup.
A pair of bills in the New York State Legislature, backed by New York state auto dealers, would make it illegal to license or renew licenses for Tesla stores within the state.
The bills, now pending in the last days before the Legislature adjourns for the summer, would make it impossible for any state resident to buy a vehicle not sold by an independently-owned third party.
Which is to say, a car dealer.
