I'm sure most of you are aware that NJ blocked Tesla from selling its cars in that state. The funny/sad thing about this is that they are blocking an American made car from being sold...not an import.
I don't know how the Canadian automotive industry is setup (even though I've lived here all my life), but I was wondering...could this happen in Canada ? Could a province block Tesla from selling directly to people? Or is the automotive industry Federally regulated, and it would be an all or none situation.
On another side note...which companies does the government regulate as to how they can sell their products? Dell Computers sold directly to the consumer for a long time solely over the internet. Is it because the automotive industry is so big that it has all this clout with the government?
